To be able to marry under different religions in India, one should register under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. It starts with a written notice to the Marriage Officer of one's district where both parties should have resided for a minimum of 30 days. The documents required generally include proof of age, residence, and photographs. After a notice period of 30 days for any objections, if none is raised, then one can solemnize the marriage. The fee varies but generally runs between ₹100 to ₹500. Thus, one should expect the whole process to take at least 30 days from the date of serving notice.

Under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, in India, one can register under this Act and get married under different religions. The Act gives an opportunity for any two persons from different religious backgrounds to marry each other under certain conditions: both should be of sound mind, at least 21 years old in case of a male and 18 years in the case of a female, not within prohibited relationships. A written notice has to be served on the Marriage Officer in the district where the couple resides at least 30 days prior to the date of marriage. The certificate of marriage will be prepared after the ceremony as a legal proof of union.
