What is the process of registering a marriage under SMA?

I am a Hindu girl marrying a Hindu boy in December, following all rituals. We want to register our marriage as soon as possible. I understand that rituals are not required for a marriage under the Special Marriage Act. What is the process?

The Special Marriage Act allows for marriage registration without the need for religious rituals. To register, both parties need to apply to the marriage officer, providing proof of age, identity, and residence. Once registered, the marriage is legally recognized, even without religious ceremonies. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
