Q: What is the procedure of court marriage

I am a HINDU boy. I am in a relation with MUSLIM girl from last 5 years. We wish to marry each other but none of our family members as well as society would accept us. So we wish to go for a court marriage. None of us have someone who could be a witness due to social melodrama. As well as I don't know where to apply for marriage as well as the procedure. Kindly help us as we both don't want to broke our commitments. Do I need to seek a lawyer for this case for the post marriage issues such as threats??? What could be done for the social security and threats???
