XYZ.....Khan (Associate Scientist)     06 March 2012

Nikah registration under sma

Hi everybody.I am a hindu girl married to a muslim boy.Although my husband didnot ask me to convert but circumstances were such that I got converted to islam and nikah was performed.My questions are as follows:

1. Can we register our marriage under Special Marriage Act?We have been married for 3 years now and also have a baby.

2. I donot want to change my first name in my official documents, although I have adopted my husbands surname.All my earlier official documents have "XYZ" since I had not used my surname earlier. Now I am using "XYZ Khan" and want to keep it this way only.I want to know the procedure for the same.

3. If keeping the old name is a probelm can we register our marriage as fresh (told by registerar)? But we have a child will it affect her status?

Want to mention that my husband is in full support of my choices and decisions and we respect each other's religion.

Thanks.

Mrs.Khan,

There are no impediments to you registering the marriage under Special Marriage Act.
