no such marriage as "court marriage"..

what you mean for it sir?

Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Expert) 23 January 2016
There is nothing called "citizen of Bihar"

India does not have state citizenship

You and the girl are citizens of India. Why you want court marriage?

Rajendra K Goyal (Expert) 23 January 2016
Consult local lawyer at Surat.

Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Expert) 23 January 2016
as long as your marriage is not forbidden as per the law application applicable to religion of either of you you can get married at any place on earth.

In case your religion is not the same the marriage can only be court marriage under Special Marriage Act.

Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Expert) 23 January 2016
In case

(i) the religion of both is same
(ii) None having a living spouse.
(ii) None underage.
(iii)Not related to each other in prohibited degree of relationship as per customary law applicable to anyone.

then marriage performed by any priest is final and binding unless otherwise illegal in any other way

Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Expert) 23 January 2016
Beware if you are runaway couple.

In courts there are many touts and at times even advocates are unethical.

These persons perform a fraud marriage which is illegal and not binding and this lands the boy in rape charge when caught by police. In such case while brought to home town thana the girl parrots the same language which her parent's lawyer want.

Then on earth there is hardly any saviour for the boy.
