We are planning to get married under the Special Marriage Act (SMA) in the first week of September and have a few questions. Can we select the specific date for our marriage, or will the court assign a date? Additionally, does the court operate on public holidays, or are we required to choose a date when the court is functioning?
Under the Special Marriage Act (SMA), once you have submitted the required notice of intention to marry, the court will schedule a date for the marriage after a 30-day notice period. You may request a preferred date, but the final date is subject to the court's availability. Courts generally do not function on public holidays, so you may need to select a date when the court is open. It is advisable to confirm with the local court for specific details regarding their working hours and scheduling process. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
