How to do court marriage without informing the parents?
How can I legally complete a court marriage without informing my parents?
Dear Client, A male aged 21 or above and a female aged 18 or above, being consenting adults, may marry without informing or seeking their parents' consent, under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, which permits civil marriage irrespective of religion or caste. The process begins with filing a Notice of Intended Marriage before the Marriage Officer of the district where either party has resided for thirty days. The notice stays published for thirty days, during which objections may be raised. If none arise, the marriage is solemnized before the Officer and three witnesses. Parental knowledge is not legally required. I hope this answer helps, if you have any other query kindly do not hesitate to contact us. Thank-you.
If both partners are legally eligible and genuinely consenting, they can generally marry without parental consent. If you choose a court marriage under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, the prescribed notice and waiting procedure must be followed, and the process is not completely confidential because the statutory notice is published/displayed. If there is a genuine safety concern from family members, you can seek appropriate police or court protection. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
