Sapinda relationship under Hindu law towards the father's and mother's side extends up to:

Under section 3(f) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, the sapinda relationship extends as far as the third generation (inclusive) in the line of ascent through the mother and the fifth generation (inclusive) through the father, counting the person concerned as the first generation. The answer is therefore "five degrees towards the father's side and three degrees towards the mother's side"; the other combinations do not match these statutory limits.
