Your love marriage has been notarized, thereby being a legally recognized contract under the Special Marriage Act of 1954. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that somebody would be allowed to cancel your marriage when it has already run effective for over a year; the law safeguards your rights to marry free from the interference of blood relatives or societal pressures. But, if there were valid legal claims of lack of consent or by coercion, those would be discussed. However, provided that your marriage was done consensually and in full compliance with law procedures, then it is considered sound by law.

It is because your love marriage comes under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, that permits inter-caste marriages in India. Since you have been married for over a year, there is every likelihood that no one can object to your marriage solely because both of you belong to different castes. Law guards your right to get married without family approval or societal pressure. However, if there is a valid legal objection in the party to consent or coercion, then these may be considered. Generally speaking, assuming that your marriage was entered into consensually and all the legal procedures followed, then your marriage is valid and protected under the law.

Sir, in India love marriage in another caste is legally valid but a notary certificate is not fully legally valid so you must register your marriage under Special Marriage Act. 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.
