How to register interfaith marriage under Special Marriage Act?
I want to marry my foreign partner under the Special Marriage Act since we follow different religions. My permanent address is in another city, but I’m currently living elsewhere. When I visited the local registrar’s office, they said I can’t complete the Special Marriage Act procedure here and must do it in Delhi. Could you please guide me on how I can register my marriage in Delhi under the Special Marriage Act in this situation?
Dear Client, You can get married under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. It is a secular process, regardless of caste or religion. The couple must give a written Notice of Intended Marriage in the prescribed form to the Marriage Officer of the district where at least one of them has resided for a period of not less than thirty days immediately preceding the date on which the notice is given. Documents like proof of age, residence, and a copy of the divorce decree will be required. After filing the form, you will have to wait for 30 days to see if there is any objection to the marriage. If there is none, marriage can take place within three months from the date of the notice of marriage. I hope this answer helps. For any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you.
You can marry in Delhi under the Special Marriage Act if either you or your partner has stayed in Delhi for at least 30 days. You will need valid address proof, passports, and a notice of intended marriage filed with the Delhi Marriage Registrar. After 30 days’ notice, the marriage can be solemnized legally.
