Dear Sir,

Under Hindu law, marriage with most cousins is prohibited relationship

Under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (HMA):

You cannot marry a cousin who is within a "prohibited degree of relationship"

This includes:
Father’s brother’s daughter
Father’s sister’s daughter 

Mother’s brother’s daughter
Mother’s sister’s daughter

Unless your community/custom specifically allows cousin marriage, such marriage is illegal and void.

In Uttar Pradesh and Delhi, most Hindu communities follow the rule that cousin marriage is not allowed.

No, as such there is no way. Among Hindus such marriage or relation is not permitted being barred in law.
