We are a couple planning to have a court marriage under the Special Marriage Act. However, I am currently abroad, while my fiancée is in Delhi and is also a resident of Delhi. My question is: while submitting the notice of intent to the SDM office in Delhi, do I need to be present in person, or is it possible for her to submit the application alone? It is not feasible for me to travel to India at this time, but I will be in India for the actual solemnization after the 30-day notice period. Can she submit the intent of marriage application without my physical presence at the SDM office?
Sir, if it is not feasible for you to come to Delhi at the time of submitting the documents for the intended marriage, your fiancée can submit the notice of intended marriage on her own. Your physical presence is generally not required at this stage, but both parties must be present during the registration process. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with the best course of action. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
