Procedure to get married if both of them belongs to different religion


04-Sep-2023 (In Family Law)
I am a Christian and the girl whom I love belong to Hindu religion. While searching for the procedures of marriage b/w people in different religion. I get to know about Special Marriage Act and court marriage. I am 24 yrs old and she is 23 years old. We didn't fall to any of the categories of prohibited relationship. We face strong objection from our parent's side. My doubts are listed below 1)Is it possible to rise the objection to the marriage on the reason the parents don't like and agree with our marriage. If they do so what to do ? 2)If both of us are from the same place any notice will sent to our addresses ? 3) While reading an article in Times of India regarding the court marriage I am including the link below http://m.timesofindia.com/city/chandigarh/Court-marriages-not-an-easy-affair/articleshow/25196402.cms In this article they speak about some police verification, if the witness with parties are friends. Is that true ? Is it like that in Kerala also ?

The Special Marriage Act, 1954 provides for a civil marriage of two Indians, without the necessity of renouncing their respective religion. The Act provide for civil marriage that would enable individuals to get married outside of their respective community mandates, many community based laws did not provide for inter – community or inter – caste marriages. Under the Special Marriage Act, 1954 any ‘two persons’ can perform a marriage.


Your marriage has to be solemnize under the Special Marriage Act of 1954.
Procedure for registration.-
Parties who intend to get married under the Special marriage Act shall give a notice in writing in the specified form to the Marriage Officer of the district in which at least one of the parties to the marriage has resided for a period of not less than thirty days immediately preceding the date on which such notice is given. Upon receipt of an application signed by both the parties to the marriage for the registration, the Marriage Officer shall give public notice thereof in such manner as may be prescribed and after allowing a period of thirty days for objection and after hearing any objection received within that period, shall, if satisfied that all the conditions are fulfilled, enter a certificate of the marriage in the Marriage Certificate Book in the prescribed form and such certificate shall be signed by the parties to the marriage and by three witnesses.

The marriage under this Act is essentially civil marriage and is required to complete the civil formalities. Parties who intend to get married under the Special marriage Act shall give a notice in writing in the specified form to the Marriage Officer of the district in which at least one of the parties to the marriage has resided for a period of not less than thirty days immediately preceding the date on which such notice is given. Officer is required to keep all the notices with the record of his office and to enter a true copy of every such notice in Marriage Notice. The notice of marriage is also to be published by the Marriage Officer. Before the expiration of thirty days from the date on which the notice was published any person can object to the marriage that it would contravene any of the conditions mentioned in section 4of the act. After the expiry of thirty days from the date on which the notice was published the marriage may be solemnized. Before the marriage is solemnized the parties and three witnesses shall sign a declaration in the form give below, and the declaration shall be countersigned by the Marriage Officer. Thus the marriage is solemnized after completing all the steps mentioned above.

You both are legally eligible for marriage (attained legal age and also you both are two adults who are legally authorised to take decisions about their lives). So the objections raised against the marriage is not sustainable. No police verification is required for register the marriage.rimarily you are done with the only requirement for getting married without consent of girls family and that is a girl who is willing to get married to you inspite of the opposition of her parents and your parents supportive of you
