Why Register Marriage
Why Register Marriage
If bride and groom belongs to different Religion, they can get married in two ways. In the way one; either of the couple should covert their religion to other's religion. Then according to that religion they can be get married. But if they are not planning to convert their religion, they should opt for Register marriage according to Special Marriage act, 1954 (43 of 1954) The Fourth Schedule.
It is very important to note that if they stay as different religion and married via either of religious procedure, the marriage is not legal. For eg. consider Fiancé is Christian and Fiancée is Hindu. If they married in a Church or in a Temple, the marriage has no legal validity. If they married in an auditorium or other such places, they should register their marriage as per Special Marriage act. (Circular/Inter-religious Marriages (63882/R.C.3/2010 ) Dated 28/02/2011)

ReplyDeleteDoes this mean that if both of us wants to get married, and the girl's parents are against it for no particular reason their objection shall remain invalid?
Given that I am not a divorcee, or mentally retarded, is there any way they can raise objection other than the above mentioned reasons, like religion, caste, affecting social prestige etc.?

DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI have two doubts regarding special marriage act:
1) I belong to hindu religion and my partner belongs to muslim religion. If I marry her at an auditorium or at any other place without following the hindu or muslim rituals, then can I go to the sub registrar office and apply for my marriage certificate of my already happened marriage will they still put a notice on the office and wait for a period of 30 days or give a marriage certificate immediately. (I can submit the marriage invitation letter & photos of ceremony if needed as a proof)
2) If I reside in Banglore for more than 30 days but my permanent residence is in Trivandrum, Kerala can I register a maariage at Banglore. If yes will they put the notice to the Banglore register office or do they send a copy of the notice to both of us permanenet residing sub registrar office for publication and a NOC from them?
Got lots of information regarding this from your blog as well as from the Q&A field. Thanking you in advance.
Contact any subregistrar office in Kerala for latest rules

ReplyDeleteWill the applicants be notified to visit the sub register office to complete the procedure? How do they notify? If by postal, do they deliver to permanent adress or current residence? The current residential adress is not given in any id proof and it is in another district also.
