The girl wants to join as a member of another Church. the church where she intends join asks her to get a certificate from the church where she was a member before her marriage. cam that church deny her the certificate just because she got married to a Hindu boy without notice to the church or without their consent.

Marriage according to Civil form under the Special Marriage Act has nothing to do with parties religion. A Christian woman who married Hindu man remains Christian by all means even after her marriage and no Church can deny her right to worship as a Christian and enjoy her membership to any particular Church which she wants to have. No prior notice or permission required from the Church for Civil Marriage by a Christian.
