Under the Special Marriage Act in India, you need to submit an application with documents including age proof, residence proof, and photographs of both parties to the Marriage Registrar's office in Karnal, following which there's a 30-day notice period during which the application is displayed publicly for objections. The process typically requires both parties to appear before the Marriage Registrar with three witnesses, costs around Rs. 2,000-3,000 in government fees (may vary), and no letters are sent from the court - however, you must regularly follow up with the Registrar's office after the notice period to schedule the solemnization date.
