If you want to marry in the Registrar’s office without rituals, the proper route is usually court marriage under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. Under Special Marriage Act, 1954, a notice of intended marriage must be given to the Marriage Officer. After publication and waiting period, if there is no valid objection, the marriage can be solemnized and registered. Keep ID proof, age proof, address proof, photographs, and witnesses ready. Local expenses vary by district and advocate charges. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
