no you cant marry . it comes within prohibited degree of relation ship . both are second cousins .
This is within prohibited marriage and you can not marry her legally.
1. This relationship comes under prohibited degree as per Hindu Marriage Act,
2. So, this maiiage will be illegal as per law.
.But as per special marriage act 1954, is it possible? if it is third cousin , is it acceptable?

Section 5 of the Hindu Marriage Act bans, among other things, marriage between a brother and sister, uncle and niece, aunt and nephew, or children of brother and sister or of two brothers or of two sisters. The marriage is void, unless the custom of the community permits it.
Hello Ajay Sir, Thanks for your advice but they love each other for more than 4-years. So I hope you can understand that how hard it is to forget. If any possibilities there please let me know. Very Sorry if I am wrong. :( :( :(
