My fiancé and I are planning to get married without a traditional ceremony because we are of different faiths. I am Pentecostal, and he is Catholic. What is the procedure to get married here, as neither of us is converting? How can we register our marriage without a traditional solemnisation?
You can get married under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, which allows interfaith marriages without requiring conversion. Both of you need to give a 30-day notice to the marriage registrar with necessary documents (ID, age proof). After the notice period, you can marry at the registrar’s office without any traditional ceremony, and the marriage will be legally recognized.
