How can I perform interfaith marriage in India?
Hello sir we need to get married from different religious so can you please guide us?
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.
