The Validity of Marriages under Special Marriage Act

Hi, A friend of mine ( Hindu ) is planning to get married to his girlfriend who is a (Muslim) in the court. If the girl decides to change her religion post marriage, Would it be problematic in the eyes of law, Can a claim of forced conversion be made out against him by the parent of the girl, What would be the religion of the child for all purposes, And also could anyone explain the process of Court Marriages in India.. ?

Unlike a regularly solemnized marriage, Court Marriage is an economical and hassle-free alternative that lets couples from a different nationality, religion, and caste to solemnize and register their union through a simple procedure which is carried out in the presence of a marriage registrar and 3 witnesses.

The query is too hypothetical. How is that the querist could be sure of what his friend and/or his spouse do in future. It is true friendship if they are left free to live their married life blissfully!
