I am a Tamil Brahmin 27yrs old man, in a relationship with my parallel cousin (my mother's sister's daughter). We both wish to get married. Please share your insights about parallel cousin marriage and guide us.
Is she not your cousin sister? Is marrying cousin sister permitted in Hinduism?
Chandruji,
Among Tamilian and Telegu community marrying Mama or Athan is common. Marrying Mama or Athan 's children is even more common. They are cousins too.
I grew up in the north, and it used to be common to tease South Indians for that. Because in North India they do not differentiate between brothers and cousins.
Hinduism permits or does not prohibits any cousin marriages.
Marriage between close family members is discouraged for health reasons and the Indian Constitution.

Do Tamil Iyers marry Chithi's son or daughter?
OMG!!
Amma and Amma's sister have different gōtrams, unless they marry the same man or brothers!!
So.... :faint:
Hence I suggested to discuss with family and not in forum!!
Normally that girl become sister for you, Because she is your mother immediate sister daughter, As per our hindhu norms, she is your daughter. even she is from different gothra but she is very close to your family circle.
