Anonymous: Respected,

1) How many generations on the father’s side are considered incestuous, such that marriage is prohibited according to the Vedas and related scriptures?

2) How many generations on the mother’s side are considered incestuous, such that marriage is prohibited according to the Vedas and related scriptures?

Thank you very much for your explanation.

Swami Ram Swarup: Seven generations are left to marry of both sides.

Swami Ram Swarup: Please educate your son that he who take/consume non- vegetarian is punished by God by giving death. Secondly preach him that non veg is prohibited in Vedas therefore those who take non veg their stomach is considered like a graveyard full of non veg. I will also advice you to bring your son to a learned acharya of Vedas in Arya samaj mandir, he would preach him also.
