the HMA has permitted marriages among cross cousins to continue as local custom

2)In Hindus, marriage between prohibited degrees of relationship and sapindas is prohibited. Sapinda means, ‘connected by particle of the same body. After the fifth in the mother’s line and seventh in father’s line Sapinda relationship ceases to exist. Where there is sapinda relationship between a boy and a girl they cannot marry.

If you found that this relationship finds a place in the list of prohibited relationship, you have to take a note of it and should take careful steps on it.

Your relationship may be descended from the same ancestor, in my opinion, this may not come under prohibited relationship.

If there is no objection in your family circle, you may proceed with your proposal.
