The objections are limited to technical aspects like soundness of mind, age and existence of any spouse of the parties intending to register the marriage but the notice at times becomes a reason for life threats for couples fleeing their homes and wanting to marry as per their own choice.

NIDA Rahman and Mohan Lal met in 2011 in a Delhi college and fell in love. Their religious identities never crossed their mind, but years later, it has become a central question in their lives.

Having decided to get married after a relationship of nearly nine years, the couple earlier this month approached the Delhi High Court with a petition seeking to do away with a legal procedure which many interfaith couples see as hindrance in getting their marriages registered.

The Special Marriage Act, 1954, is a law which allows registration of such marriages which may not meet conditions of customary laws. It allows any couple, irrespective of their religious/caste identities, to get married. However, registration of such a marriage under the law requires the marriage officer to first issue a 30-day public notice — with details like name, occupation, age and address — about the intended marriage for invitation of objections from public.
