Understand Your Options
Special Marriage Act or Hindu Marriage Act?
The right act for your case decides your timeline and paperwork — here's how to tell which one applies to you.
Hindu Marriage Act, 1955
For two Hindus, Sikhs, Jains or Buddhists who have already had a religious ceremony (temple, Arya Samaj, or traditional wedding). This registers a marriage that has already taken place — there is no waiting period, so it moves faster: 15-25 working days.
Learn more about HMA registration →Special Marriage Act, 1954
For any two Indian citizens, regardless of religion — used for inter-caste, inter-religion, and civil marriages, including couples who haven't had a prior religious ceremony. Involves a mandatory 30-day public notice period before solemnisation, so the full process typically takes 45-50 days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions
Quick answers to the questions our team gets asked most often. Can’t find yours? Call us on +91-9718662270 for a free consultation.
What is court marriage in India and who can opt for it?+
Court marriage is the legal registration of a marriage by a Marriage Officer (typically a District Magistrate or SDM) under either the Special Marriage Act, 1954 or the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. Any two adults — Indian citizens or NRIs — who are not within prohibited relationships and are mentally competent can opt for it. The groom must be 21+ and the bride 18+ at the time of registration.
What is the difference between the Special Marriage Act and the Hindu Marriage Act?+
The Special Marriage Act, 1954 is a secular law for any two adults regardless of faith — ideal for inter-faith, inter-caste, and purely civil marriages. It requires a 30-day public notice. The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 applies to Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists who have already had a religious ceremony, and registers that ceremony retrospectively (no 30-day notice).
How long does court marriage take in India?+
Under the Special Marriage Act, the timeline is 45-50 days because of the mandatory 30-day notice period. Under the Hindu Marriage Act (post-ceremony registration), it typically takes 15-25 working days. Anyone promising under 30 days for SMA or under 7 days for HMA is misrepresenting the process — these durations are statutory.
What is the total cost of court marriage including all fees?+
Government statutory fees total ₹500-1,500 (notice, registration, certificate, stamp paper). If you hire a marriage advocate, professional packages range from ₹4,999 (Basic) to ₹14,999 (Premium with NRI/apostille support). Be cautious of anyone quoting under ₹3,000 'all-inclusive same-day' — that is not feasible legally.
What documents are required for court marriage in India?+
Standard documents for each partner: Aadhaar Card (with current address), age proof (birth certificate or 10th board mark sheet or passport), address proof (utility bill, rental agreement, or Aadhaar), 6 passport-size photographs, PAN card, and a joint affidavit on ₹100 stamp paper. Three witnesses bring their own Aadhaar plus 2 photos each.
How many witnesses are required for court marriage?+
Both the Special Marriage Act and the Hindu Marriage Act require three witnesses. Each must be 21+, must personally know the couple, and must carry their original Aadhaar or Voter ID plus two passport-size photographs. All three witnesses must be physically present at the Marriage Officer's office on the registration day.
Is a 30-day waiting period mandatory for court marriage?+
Yes, only under the Special Marriage Act, 1954 — Section 5 mandates a 30-day public notice. No court in India can waive this period. If urgency is genuine (e.g., approaching wedding visa deadline), some couples opt for the Hindu Marriage Act registration after a quick religious ceremony, which has no statutory waiting period.
How do I get a marriage certificate after the registration?+
The marriage certificate is issued by the Marriage Officer on the day of solemnisation under the Special Marriage Act. Under the Hindu Marriage Act, the certificate is typically issued within 7-15 days of application. Additional certified copies cost ₹100 each. Lost certificates can be reissued by applying at the same court's record room.
Do NRIs need any extra documents for court marriage in India?+
Yes. NRIs need a No Impediment Certificate (NIC) from their embassy or consulate, valid passport, current visa stamp, OCI/PIO card if applicable, and apostilled birth certificate. After registration, the marriage certificate must be apostilled at the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) for international validity.
Does Delhi require special documents compared to other states?+
The core requirements are uniform across India under central laws. Delhi-specific practical points: address proof must be from the relevant Delhi district (matching the Marriage Officer's jurisdiction), stamp paper rates are uniform, and Delhi government also runs a marriage incentive scheme for certain inter-caste cases through the Social Welfare Department.
Do I need a lawyer for court marriage?+
Legally, no — court marriage is a documentary process. Practically, an experienced marriage advocate saves you 2-3 weeks, avoids common form-filling mistakes, coordinates the 3 witnesses, drafts the affidavit correctly, and shields you from touts. Most couples save money overall by choosing professional assistance.
How do I prove residence for 30 days under the Special Marriage Act?+
Acceptable residence proofs include Aadhaar with the current district address, rental agreement (registered), utility bills (electricity, water, gas) of the last 3 months, voter ID, or driving license. At least one document must clearly show residence in the relevant district for 30 days before notice filing.
