Yes, you can obtain a court marriage certificate specifically for your spouse's transfer purposes, which is a common practice in India. However, the regular 30-day notice period under the Special Marriage Act still applies even in transfer cases, though you can begin the process immediately and submit the transfer-related documents as proof of urgency to the Marriage Officer.

You can have a court marriage (under the Special Marriage Act, 1954) for any legitimate reason, including spouse transfer, provided both parties meet the legal requirements—being of legal age (18 for women, 21 for men), mentally sound, and not already married. However, submitting false documents or making false declarations for a court marriage is illegal and can lead to criminal charges.

Sir, court marriage can be conducted for the purpose of a spouse's transfer if it follows legal procedures under an appropriate marriage act. You must ensure all documents are valid and the marriage is genuine. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you to avoid complications or allegations of fraud in the process.
