Court Marriage Under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955
The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 applies to:
- All forms of Hinduism, including Sikhs, Jains, and Buddhists
- Anyone who is a permanent resident of India and is not a Muslim, Jew, Christian, or Parsi by religion
Points:
- Both parties must be Hindus (or covered under the Act)
- Marriage is solemnized according to Hindu customs and rituals
- Registration can be done in the court to make it legally valid
Court Marriage Under the Special Marriage Act, 1954
The Special Marriage Act, 1954 is designed for:
- Inter‑caste and inter‑religion marriages
- Marriages between Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Jains, and Buddhists
- Indian citizens belonging to different religions or castes
- Indian nationals living abroad who wish to marry in India
Points:
