    Dear client, In the context of Hinduism and the Hindu Marriage Act, your relationship with the girl could be considered a sapinda relationship, potentially making marriage between you two prohibited. Here's why: Generation Distance: Your relationship crosses the sapinda limit in some interpretations. Your connection is through your maternal great grandfather's brother's son. In the Mitakshara school of law, which applies to many parts of India, the sapinda limit extends to three generations on the mother's side and five generations on the father's side. By that definition, your connection falls within the limit as it's within three generations on your mother's side. Dayabhaga Interpretation: However, another school of law, Dayabhaga, interprets sapinda differently. It considers only those who share the same "pinda" (rice ball offered in ancestor worship) to be sapindas. In this case, your connection might not be considered sapinda, as you likely wouldn't offer pinda to your great grandfather's brother's son. Therefore, the determination of whether your relationship is considered sapinda depends on the specific interpretation of the law that applies to your region and situation. Further Steps: To determine the legal implication of your relationship, it's crucial to consult with a lawyer specializing in Hindu marriage law. They can assess your specific case and advise you on the applicable laws and rulings in your region. They can also guide you on any possible exceptions or legal avenues that might allow marriage if your relationship falls within the sapinda limit. Additional Information: It's important to consider social and cultural factors alongside legal aspects. Some communities may consider your relationship acceptable regardless of legal restrictions. Open communication with the girl you're in love with and both your families is essential. Exploring all options and perspectives together can help you make informed decisions.

    Dear Sir, If you are okay with that girl just marry her. The age old condition of Sapinda relationship is not being implemented by anybody. If you dig into relationship history then you will be in trouble.
