Explanation

A man is prohibited from marrying his daughter on the ground of consanguinity - blood relationship. Under Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, sapinda relationships (blood relations) within prohibited degrees cannot marry. Consanguinity refers to relationships by blood, unlike affinity (by marriage) or fosterage (by nursing).
