In this situation, your marriage is likely valid under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, as it doesn't fall within the degrees of prohibited relationship outlined in Hindu law. According to the Act, marriages can be performed between individuals who are not within the degrees of consanguinity., if both parties are adults, unmarried, and consenting, court marriage is generally legally permissible. Final verification of family tree is advisable. For further legal assistance, contact us on our helpline number.
