How to perform court marriage under Special Marriage Act?
A 50-year-old Hindu man and a 50-year-old Muslim woman, both divorced from their previous marriages, wish to get married. The woman’s first marriage was also with a Hindu man. What procedures are required for them to get legally married?
Dear Client, You can get married under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. The couple must give a written Notice of Intended Marriage in the prescribed form to the Marriage Officer of the district where at least one of them has resided for a period of not less than thirty days immediately preceding the date on which the notice is given. Documents like proof of age, residence, and a copy of the divorce decree will be required. After filing the form, you will have to wait for 30 days to see if there is any objection to the marriage. If there is none, marriage can take place within three months from the date of the notice of marriage. I hope this helps. Please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you!
Both of you, being 50 years old and legally divorced, can get married smoothly under the Special Marriage Act without any religious conversion. Just submit your ID proofs, address proofs, and divorce decrees at the Marriage Registrar’s office to file a 30-day notice. After the notice period, you along with three witnesses can register the marriage officially. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with the smooth procedure of court marriage. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
