Yes, if both the parties are residing in different cities, notice is affixed at a visible place at the office of the jurisdictional marriage registrar.

If boy and girl are of a legal age, there is no legal impediment for them to enter into a wedlock. Objections can be raised within 30 days period but they have to be legally sustainable.

Yes, the notice will be send to your respective addresses. But one cannot object with that court marriage as you are eligible to marry. To avoid Court notice at home you can do the same day marriage from the other state and get all the formalities done on the very same day and no notice will be issued afterwards.

Yes, notice will go to both address and parents cannot raise any objection after receiving of the notice because you both are adult and adults have right to do marriage as per their own wish as per catena of the judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court of India.

It is an essential pre-requisite for marriage that both the parties should be of legal marriageable age. You have specified that you are of legal age then there should be no problem. It is a settled law of the land that “Right to marry a person of one’s choice is integral to right to life and liberty” the Supreme Court has held. I will mention extract from the recent verdict by the Hon’ble Supreme Court “The choice of a partner whether within or outside marriage lies within the exclusive domain of each individual. Intimacies of marriage lie within a core zone of privacy, which is inviolable.” The law is with you, so there is no need to worry. Your family can coerce you, but from a legal point of view, your choices are respected.
Do not worry about the notice. Go and talk to the lawyer who happens to be involved in the process of court marriages. In many cases, the marriage is done in a day or less than 2/3 days.

Sir,objection clause is merely there so that anyone whether it’s a family member or someone else who has a valid objection like under age or bigamy. Legally no one can stop you from getting married if you fulfill all the criteria mentioned
