Court marriage kaise karein? Kya parents ki permission zaroori hai?
Simple answer
Nahi, adults ko parents ki permission nahi chahiye. Special Marriage Act mein 21+ saal ka ladka aur 18+ saal ki ladki, kisi bhi dharm ke hon, bina dharm badle shaadi kar sakte hain. Marriage Officer ko notice do, objection ke liye 30 din ruko, phir 3 gawahon ke saamne shaadi karo.
Real-life examples
Arjun Hindu hai aur Sara Christian; dono bina dharm badle shaadi karna chahte hain. Sara 2 mahine se Pune mein reh rahi hai, toh woh Pune ke Marriage Officer ko notice dete hain. 30 din mein koi valid objection nahi aata, toh 3 gawahon ke saath shaadi karke certificate lete hain.
Simran aur Rizwan ki shaadi ke baad Simran ke ghar wale unhe dhamkaate hain. Adults hone ke naate unhe ek-doosre ko choose karne ka haq hai. Woh police se protection maang sakte hain ya High Court ja sakte hain.
Rahul 20 saal ka hai aur Divya 19 ki. Special Marriage Act mein ladke ki umar kam se kam 21 honi chahiye, isliye Rahul ke 21 hone tak Marriage Officer unki shaadi nahi karayega.
Aapko kya karna chahiye?
- 1Check karo ki dono eligible ho: ladka 21+, ladki 18+, koi living spouse nahi (pehle shaadi hui ho toh divorce decree), aur close relatives nahi.
- 2Jis district mein aap mein se koi ek pichhle 30 din se reh raha ho, wahan ke Marriage Officer ko shaadi ka notice do. Kai states mein yeh online bhi hota hai.
- 3Age proof, address proof, passport photos aur age, marital status aur nationality ka affidavit saath rakho.
- 4Notice lagne ke baad 30 din wait karo. Koi objection kare toh officer ko 30 din mein decide karna hota hai; mana ho toh district court mein appeal kar sakte ho.
- 5Notice ke 3 mahine ke andar 3 gawahon (ID ke saath) ko le kar jao, declaration sign karo aur marriage certificate lo.
- 6Ghar wale dhamkaayein toh 112 call karo aur police ya High Court se protection maango.
Exceptions aur zaroori baatein
- Agar dono Hindu, Sikh, Jain ya Buddhist ho, toh Hindu Marriage Act ke under dharmik reeti se shaadi karke register kara sakte ho. Ismein 30 din ka notice nahi hota.
- Agar notice ke 3 mahine mein shaadi nahi hoti, toh notice khatam ho jaata hai aur naya notice dena padega.
