This query is : Resolved

Hindu Marriage Act,1955.
So as per clause (c) of section 2 says
to any other person domiciled in the territories to which this Act extends who is not a Muslim, Christian, Parsi or Jew by religion, unless it is proved that any such person would not have been governed by the Hindu law or by any custom or usage as part of that law in respect of any of the matters dealt with herein if this Act had not been passed.

2) What is the difference between The RCR is filed under the Section 22 of Special Marriage Act,1954 & If you are an Hindu than under Section 9 of Hindu Marriage Act,1955. If possible with the help of a example(S).
