The marriage will be void as both of you are sapindas of each other. However, this does not stop you from living together.

Since, you are within the prohibited degree of relationship; your marriage with this girl is possible under the Hindu Marriage Act.

Both of you may convert to Islam and get married. However, this marriage may be questioned.

Under the provisions of Hindu marriage act section for prohibited relationship for marriage the sapinda relationship also plays a major role:

sapinda relationship with reference to any person extends as far as the third generation (inclusive) in the line of ascent through the mother, and the fifth (inclusive) in the line of ascent through the father, the line being traced upwards in each case from the person concerned, who is to be counted as the first generation;

If there is a custom or recognition in society for this relationship then as per per provisions of law the expressions custom and usage, signify any rule which, having been continuously and uniformly observed for a long time, has obtained the force of law among Hindus in any local area, tribe, community, group or family:

Provided that the rule is certain and not unreasonable or opposed to public policy; and Provided further that in the case of a rule applicable only to a family it has not been discontinued by the family;
