The Dr. Ambedkar Special Marriage Scheme is generally aimed at supporting socially disadvantaged couples, especially from Scheduled Castes or Dalit communities. If one or both partners belong to such categories, they may be eligible for benefits under this scheme. So, if the Hindu Dalit man qualifies, the couple can apply but eligibility depends on specific criteria like caste and income. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
