Can I do court marriage in Kerala without 30-day residency?

Under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, a 30-day public notice is mandatory in the district where either party has lived for at least 30 days. There is no legal way to skip this period. To marry in Kerala, you or your partner must reside there for 30 days, submit the notice, and wait. A lawyer can guide on documentation and process.
