A notice has to be given in writing in the form given to the Marriage Officer of the District in which at least one of the parties to the marriage has resided for a period of not less than 30 days immediately proceeding the date on which such notice was given.
The notice given is then published by affixing it in some conspicuous place in the office of the Marriage Officer, and before the expiration of thirty days from the date on which the notice was published any person can object to the marriage that it would contravene any of the conditions necessary for the marriage.
After the expiry of thirty days from the date on which the notice was published the marriage may be solemnized.
Before the marriage is solemnized the parties and three witnesses shall sign a declaration in the form and the declaration shall be counter signed by the Marriage Officer.
The marriage may be solemnized at the office of the Marriage Officer, or at such place within reasonable distance, as the parties may desire, upon payment of such additional fees as may be prescribed.
The marriage may be solemnized in a form, which the parties may choose to adopt.
Thanks for the information, Sir.
Marriages so performed will be governed by Special Marriage Act & the same procedure will be adopted for the registration of marriages under Special Marriage Act.
