If both boy and girl are majors and marrying by free consent, the usual legal route is under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. First, file a notice of intended marriage before the Marriage Officer. The notice is published and there is generally a 30-day waiting period for objections. If no valid objection is raised, the marriage can be solemnized and registered in the presence of required witnesses with ID/address/age proofs.
