Yes, you both can marry legally under the Special Marriage Act. Either you or your partner must stay in Kolkata for at least 30 days before applying. After filing notice and waiting 30 days, the marriage will be registered in presence of three witnesses, and you will get a valid marriage certificate. It is advised to consult an expert matrimonial lawyer who will assist you with the smooth procedure of court marriage. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
