My wife and I got married under the Special Marriages Act in 1974. We belonged to the same religion and our parents were witnesses. I would have expected the process to be more user friendly given all the changes over five decades. Unfortunately, the bureaucracy still makes it so challenging. The bureaucrats should be trained to be more courteous and encouraging of couples who are idealistic in that they are willing to think and act beyond their narrow walls of religion and ostentatious weddings. We do not want zealots and busybodies interfering with most personal of life's decisions. We have a long way to go.

My husband and I got married in Special Marriage Act. We are both hindus but since we didn't plan on having any hindu ritual marriage, just a simple court marriage and a reception we had to opt for Special Marriage Act. We actually didnt have to go through all this hassle. We just went to a marriage registrar office one day and submitted everything and she took care of the rest. Then just one day we did the actual signing of the documents and its done. Received our marriage certificate within 1week via post.😀

[@dishaahluwalia8957]

[@lisanyugenhascancer6332]

Hello how can I do this?

[@hansiparam7960]

Our marriage was solemnized by both hindu n christian rituals. We registered under this act. But it was in rural Tamilnadu as my husband's relatives arranged for everything. But when I went to sign, the registrar started making fuss that my parents also had to be there. They even took me separately to advice that love marriage doesn't work and i should go back to parents. My parents had taken a lot of leaves for both ceremonies and pre wedding, post wedding rituals and couldn't be there for registration. I had to show wedding pics, videos of my husband with my parents cutting cake and finally show my dad's passport proof and a call to get the registrar sign. Whew! It's difficult even if both sides are willing. That was 11 years ago!

[@SatshyaTharien]

But guess what, I am Maharashtrian and even with the wedding card, photos and temple receipt were we got married the registrar was not satisfied. Registrar asked for both my parents to be there. Only my mom had come with me as my dad is no more, after which he asked for my dads death certificate to prove that no one objecting our marriage. This was all despite my in laws and my mother being present. 😓. But we could finally get it registered.

[@user-nn8jp4zg3g]

Being an advocate I can confirm you explained it very well. Also the starting part where you mentioned how different religions have different marriage laws. Yes, in India there are few fields where religious personal laws are into force like the marriage, property inheritance and some land reforms and that's why the current govt is focusing on implementing uniform civil code i.e. one law across country that will cater all religions and sectors of people to ensure uniformity in process and low red tapism and remove the requirement of personal laws wherever possible under article 44 of the constitution. A nice way to educate your audience and promote court marriages as it is the most sensible thing. Just do a court marriage and maybe if you want throw a reception for all the fams and frnds. Also congratulations :)

The religious demographics of our country mean that the majority community in different states is different. Any socio political Majoritarian radical group can use this notice board and the private information of inter religious couples to harrass them and this is happening irrespective of the identity of the Majoritarian group in question. I have seen people circulating pictures of these notices on Twitter, Facebook tagging extremist organizations and calling for stopping the wedding.Therefore we need to be more nuanced and make the system easier for all inter religious couples by weeding out such steps which expose consenting adults in front of radical extremist groups. Also the reason she didn't face any such harassment was because the socio political community in majority in Delhi didn't have any issue with the fact that a women of other faith was marrying into a favorable faith. All right wingers view women as transactional entity in such matters.

[@MK-lh3xd]

Even in traditional weddings invites are sent to people with the details. Wedding is not just a deal between two people, it is a social institution. Your family, relatives, friends need to know about your marriage.

@@MK-lh3xd wedding is a deal between two people in case of special marriage act marriage. In the document only the signature of the couple and two witness are present. Indian laws don't need consent of family members for wedding. Also parents don't own the individual liberty and autonomy of their adult children. Just like all adults decide the future of the nation by voting, similarly adults decide their own future by chosing whom to marry. This right isn't owned by parents or relatives.

Hi hi! From what I remember we went to the SDM office for the 1st time 1-2 days after submitting the application online. I don’t think you need a slot to go apply for the marriage registration but best to go within 3-4 days of submitting online application

[@sudhanshukandpal]

Hi Satshya, thanks for the information. The website allows to choose the slot of any day within 10 days of submission of application.

[@ps-gh3hu]

Easyyyyy 💁🏻‍♀️

Thank you for sharing.

❤️🤌 I love the way you just shared the whole experience like a true bestie in such a great manner ❤️

[@SatshyaTharien]

Thank you 🤗🤗

[@doobydoba]

Thank you for explaning it so well. And I agree with you, your details being disclosed on a board publically seems very unsettling. I understand the reasoning for it but to me, it seems scary.

[@SatshyaTharien]

Yes, same!!

[@akshathk3241]

I just wish you both a happy and a peaceful married life

You are Married😢. My heart almost stopped

[@sonalisingh3590]

Hello Satshya, Is there any waiting time for the appointment at SDM office after you fill the application online or we can just directly show up there after filling application?

[@SatshyaTharien]

Hi, after filing the application online I think you can directly show up the next day or even the same day. I'm not sure if we got an appointment date (it will usually show up when you file the application) - but we went for the first SDM visit the very next day

[@butterchickenisback]

Your voice sounds so much like Deepika Padukone!

[@supriyakumari7507]

During document submission, both partners should be available and after the procedure, does the candidate receive a marriage certificate on the same day?

[@SatshyaTharien]

They upload it to the govt website in 2-3 days and you can download it from there :)

[@kutty35]

I wish every Indian parent would be as positive as yours for court marriages. It would save a lot of hassle, money and pressure. ❤ thanks for the video about your experience

[@SatshyaTharien]

Thank you 😊

As a law student and you being a person married under special marriage act. I genuinely wanted to know about the caste of child.... If we are married under the sepcial marriage act.... And a child is born out of it... They are called as a legitimate child but how is it decided that which caste the child will be inheriting ? And will they have a right to claim reservations in a case where the mother is ST and father is general ?

[@progressivelife7517]

I want to know too ?

[@CometFire2010]

Not a lawyer but I've heard that child usually inherits from Father's category by default.

Guys I need help.. can anyone help? I’d like to do the court marriage now, same religion and after few months we’ll be doing our normal wedding. I want to know that during the normal wedding, in the Nikahnama will it be known about the court marriage?

[@akhileshmachiraju1521]

Love is sacred according to Puranas, Abhimanyu's story and many of Lord Krishna's deeds are good examples of this. However, our last few previous generations considered it as sacrilegious. My only advice for Loving couples is to value their promises and don't ruin other bonds in the process. We are lucky to be born in India where family takes care of us while sacrificing their happiness. Remember that both our life partner and our parents are our responsibility and no reason can be given to escape from it.

Hey Satshya..really felt happy after watching this video of yours. Really got a ray of hope to marry the man I love. I am a christian and my bf is south indian hindu. I saw u had 3 types of marriage- court marriage hindu wedding and christian wedding. Can u please share ur experience on how u convinced ur parents and church for Interfaith marriage as my parents are completely against our relationship. And how do you manage mixing both the religion and culture to avoid any conflicts☺☺

[@KoreanBahu]

Hey your video is very informative, my partner is a foreigner however he will be coming to India for 10 days only (not more than 10days due to work) to get married but for the first registration phase can I go alone to the office and on the 2nd appearance we both will come. Is that possible?

@@gmaxi360 you are right Nagaraju of hydrabad lost his life because of that

[@gmaxi360]

@@mathsreasoninglove3336 you are right, and he wasn't the only one who lsot his life to the patriarchy of society which perceives its honor to be limited to the womb of women of that particular society. And when i say society I mean caste based society or religion based society. Whether it was nagaraju, or it was arbaz mulla of belagavi, karnataka who was beheaded on railway tracks. They were victims of honor killings, just like thousands of such caste based killings that happen every year in cases of inter caste marriages. Ultimately it is the role of the society to read Indian laws and come out of caveman era mentality

I would like to get married to my bf who is from a different religion. His side family is supportive but my parents are totally against it. I was thinking of marrying under SMA but the only thing I'm worried about is the notice that is sent to our address which can cause issues from my parent's side. Is there any suggestions to avoid it?

[@SatshyaTharien]

The notice won’t be sent to your home address, it will be sent to your district magistrate’s office where they will display it on the notice board for 30 days.

[@preetamsingh8575]

What's the difference in paperback and bureaucracy between a court marriage under the special marriage act, and a traditional marriage under the relevant religious act?

[@SatshyaTharien]

For the traditional marriages you still have to go register it , but the difference is since under the SMA the court is also solemnising the marriage, they want the documents to make sure that no one is married before etc (the court basically plays the role of relatives who do the investigation of other party) - so therefore there’s more paperwork etc

[@user-bd8gc4br6q]

I am Indian planning to get marry to Filipino, Is it necessary for the girl to be physically present to give notice of marriage and then stay for 30 days here before marriage. I m confused because delhi govt website says, only 1 party is required for 30 days which can be me, so is my gf also require to be here for notice of marriage? plss help thanks
