Dear Client, thank you for reaching out to us. Court marriage in India is done under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. Both parties must be of legal age (21-men, 18-women), single, and free from prohibited blood relations. The process involves visiting the Marriage Registrar's Office where either party has lived for 30 days, filing a Notice of Intended Marriage, completing a 30-day public notice period, and then solemnizing the marriage before the Marriage Officer with three witnesses. A Marriage Certificate is issued as conclusive legal proof. Documents required include age proof, residence proof, photographs, and a marital status affidavit. The process typically takes 30 - 60 days. For more details, please feel free to contact Prime Legal.

Court marriage fees in Punjab are around ₹500–₹1,000 depending on the district. The process generally takes 30 days after submitting the notice. You’ll need age proof, address proof, photos, affidavit, and 3 witnesses. A lawyer can help complete it smoothly in one or two visits.
