Under Hindu Marriage Act, marriage with certain blood relations is prohibited unless your custom allows it. If your distant niece is not a "sapinda" relation and there's no direct line of ancestry, you can marry with mutual consent. It is best to consult a lawyer to confirm based on your specific relation.
