Dear client, as both of you are adults, parents' consent is not a legally required factor for the marriage under the Special Marriage Act of 1954. However, same day court marriage is usually not possible under this act because a 30 day notice period is required before the registration of a court marriage. I hope this answer your question and for further queries contact us.

If both parties are adults, parents’ consent is not legally required for marriage. However, under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, same-day court marriage is generally not possible because a mandatory 30-day public notice period applies. You can legally marry after completing notice and document verification process. If there is threat or pressure from family, you may seek police protection or approach the High Court for safety.
