Re: regard with marrige in hindus
Your statement is either wrong or incomplete.
If you are talking about marriage between first degree cousins, i.e. girl marrying her maternal uncle's son or vice-versa, such marriage is prohibited in Hindu Law and may be void.
There may be no legal remedy and the marriage may not be acceptable. In any case, the children born of even void marriages are considered as legitimate.
