but does it disallow to marry cousins ?
General asking ..
First cousin marriage is illegal as per Hindu marriage act in India.
As per section 3(g) of Hindu marriage act, 1955, an individual cannot marry the person who is in "degrees of prohibited relationship". This clause prohibits marriage between cousins by blood or adoption & many other such relationships.
First cousin marriages are acceptable in Muslim communities by law.
In South India, some communities have first cousin marriages which are socially acceptable but their legality as per the law is debatable.
But Bengal is in East India.
But well, when has EK cared to look for laws. Everything is damn drama for her.
