Under the Special Marriage Act, notice is mandatory and is sent to the permanent addresses. However, some couples choose to change address temporarily or go to another jurisdiction. It's better to consult a lawyer to avoid legal issues, or consider marriage under personal laws (like Hindu Marriage Act) if applicable.
