If both parties satisfy the conditions given under Section 4 of the Special Marriage Act, 1954, then you can solemnize your marriage, and there is not any provision for parental consent in the Special Marriage Act.

No, parental consent is not mandatory under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. Adults can marry independently, but a 30-day notice period allows objections on legal grounds.

Under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, parental consent is not required if both the partners have legal age to get married. If there are objections to the marriage after giving notice to the Marriage Officer, they can be addressed through legal proceedings.
