The male's parents do not accept the female, but the female's parents have no objection. Can we still do a court marriage?

Yes, you can proceed with a court marriage without the male's parents' consent under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, as long as both individuals are legally eligible—21 years for the male and 18 years for the female. You need to submit a 'Notice of Intended Marriage' to the Marriage Registrar, and after a mandatory 30-day notice period, the marriage can be solemnized. If no valid objections are raised, the marriage is legally binding, and parental approval is not required. Ensure you have all necessary documents, including age proof, address proof, photographs, and witness affidavits.
