Sapinda Marriage refers to a marriage prohibited between individuals who are related to each other within certain degrees of kinship according to Hindu law. The term "sapinda" generally signifies a blood relationship that extends through several generations on both the paternal and maternal sides.
The prohibition on sapinda marriage is based on the belief that such close unions can lead to genetic problems and are considered incestuous within the social and religious framework of Hinduism.
The exact definition and scope of the sapinda relationship can vary depending on the specific school of Hindu law that applies (e.g., Mitakshara or Dayabhaga). Generally, it involves tracing ancestry back a certain number of generations to determine if two individuals share a common ancestor within the prohibited degrees.
Traditionally, sapinda marriage was considered void and illegitimate. However, modern legislation in some jurisdictions may recognize such marriages as valid if they are sanctioned by custom or usage within a particular community.
