Hi there, at first you both are Hindu and I hope you both don't have a living spouse. As you both are major and capable of giving consent so there's no legal impediment in court marriage. You'll have to register yourself on delhi gov. portal and proceed with the on boarding/ registration formalities. Post that you'll be given an appointment where you have to approach registrar along with documents. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

You can lawfully marry without the consent of family members. Since you belong to different religions (Hindu and Sikh), the marriage will be registered under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. Procedure: Both parties must be major (male 21+, female 18+) and capable of giving free consent. File a Notice of Intended Marriage before the Marriage Officer/SDM of the district where either party has resided for at least 30 days. The notice is displayed for 30 days. If no valid objection is upheld, the marriage is solemnised before the Marriage Officer with three witnesses. Marriage certificate is issued on the same day or shortly thereafter. Documents required: Proof of age (Aadhaar, passport, birth certificate, etc.) Proof of residence Passport-size photographs Identity proof Widow certificate/death certificate of previous spouse (for you) Affidavit of marital status Witness ID proofs....you can contact me further for assistance

You do not require consent of any third person, as you both are of legally marriageable age, and you can solemnize a marriage under special marriage act 1954, that allows marriages of people from different religion. Though Sikhs are covered under hindu law as well. You can solemnise a marriage under hindu law due to the religion of girl.

You can directly opt for the court marriage, with the help of 3 parties from each side, as a proof. For more details, contact. As you are a widow, and you have no partner in present, as she is dead. So, you can ask the other family to communicate any problems if they have. Or you can give an application to your and her local Thana, that you guys are going to marry after 2-3 weeks. The application should be submitted before 2 weeks of the marriage
