Anonymous: Respected,

How many generations on the father’s side and how many generations on the mother’s side is considered incest and such marriage is prohibited according to Vedas?

Thanks in advance for the explanation!

All the best,

Swami Ram Swarup: According to Rigveda Mantra 10/85/21 marriage should always be solemnized with girl from different gotra.

Manusmriti Shloka 3/5 states that the girl who is away from the six generations of parents is only to be married.

My blessings to you.
