Is notary marriage certificate valid? Can we marry secretly?
My girlfriend’s parents are against our relationship. We want to get married without informing them and start living peacefully. Can we marry within one day? Is a notary marriage certificate valid at a police station?

Court marriage under Special Marriage Act needs 30 days' notice. Notary marriage is not legally valid for police or official records. If urgent, consider Arya Samaj marriage, followed by registration. You don’t need parental consent if you're both 18+ (female) and 21+ (male). Always go for a legally valid route.
