A marries his mother's sister's daughter's daughter. Whether this marriage is valid marriage under Hindu Marriage Act, 1955?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Under the Hindu Marriage Act, the sapinda relationship on the mother's side extends only up to the third generation; since the common ancestor here is the fourth generation up through the mother, and a first cousin's child is not within a prohibited degree under the Act, the marriage falls outside the barred relationships and is valid.
