- Hindu marriage Act does not allow the marriage between the prohibited relationship or in sapinda relationship.

- As per your statement, she is your cousin , and you are not permitted to marry with her , because this marriage will be treated as a void marriage as per law,

- By the conversion into other religion  you may get marry with her , but it is not advisable , because as per the Supreme Court ,the conversion for the material gains is not allowed.

According to Mitakshara, the word ‘Sapinda’ meant a person connected by the same ‘pinda’ that is, particles of the same body, i.e., a blood relation.

Clause (f)(ii) of Section 3 lays down that two persons are said to be sapinda of each other if one is a lineal ascendant of the other within the limits of sapinda relationship or if they have a common lineal ascendant who is within the limits of sapinda relationship with reference to each of them. Thus there are two categories of sapindas according to this clause: (1) a lineal ascendant within the limits of sapinda relationship, and (2) persons having common lineal ascendants within those limits.

.Under the first category the male sapindas would be the father, father’s father, father’s father’s father, father’s father’s father’s father, mother’s father, father’s mother’s father, father’s mother’s father’s father, son, son’s son, son’s son’s son, son’s son’s son’s son, and daughter’s son. The female sapindas would include the mother, mother’s mother, father’s mother, father’s father’s mother, father’s father’s father’s mother, father’s mother’s father’s mother, father’s mother’s mother, daughter, daughter’s daughter, son’s daughter, soil’s son’s daughter, and son’s son’s son’s daughter.

Under the second category, two persons are sapindas of each other if their common lineal ascendant is within the limits of sapinda relationship, that is, within the fifth degree through his or her immediate male ascendant and within the third degree through his or her immediate female ascendant.

You can check your position in the above context and decide whether you fall under the category of sapinda relationship or not.

You can marry her under the provisions of special marriage at by not revealing your relationship with her.

There is no danger for your employment, only if anyone who wants to take revenge against you may file a complaint to make your marriage null and void.

You can marry her only if she is not in Prohibited degree. In this case if she is not in relation with your fathers side you can go ahead. In India there is a custom of getting married to Maternal uncle side

Dear Sir,

Gotra means the family tree or the blood line you belong to. There are multiple of them. It is said that marrying in the same Gotra causes genetic diseases in kids or they might not have nay kids at all. Belonging to the same bloodline means belonging to the same family and if not in immediate, but they can turn out to be your far fetched cousins.

While this belief is practiced in Hinduism, we also have other religions, where marrying your first cousin is acceptable. Even in Hinduism, in certain castes marriage between children of real brother and sister is acceptable and they rarely face any issues conceiving healthy children. So it all boils down to whether not marrying in the same gotra is a superstition or there is some amount of truth to it!

I personally believe that marriages in Hinduism were a product of property inheritance laws. Whom to marry, how to marry, when to marry, are all a by-product of property inheritance system. While earlier, the same gotra people would have been a smaller group and community, marrying among each other might cause complications and issues regarding inheritance of property. To sort that confusion, it would have been decided that marrying your daughter into the same family is not acceptable, girl goes to a new family and loose her hold over father’s property. I feel this is the simple explanation to Sagotra marriages. Now with the passage of time, the each gotra has grown into a wide community. property inheritance have clear laws charted out. So marrying in the same gotra might not be a major issues, until and unless you do a medical check-up and find your compatibility for having healthy offspring.

No it will not be considered as valid marriage because it will be a sapinda relationship.

Marriage will be considered null and void.

Still if your families agree for marriage it will not become hurdle for your Govt job.

If you go on to marry her against the provisions of law, she would never be given the legal status of your wife and the children born out of the wedlock would be considered illegitimate as per law.
