PHello.
My fiancé is not an Indian, although we are both Muslims. We want to get a court marriage done first. Our nikah date is set later this year. My questions are
1. How do we do a court marriage, preferably in May or June?
2. Under which act?
3. How do we avoid a double registration of the marriage? Because as far as I know, a Muslim nikah is done by a registrar, and a double registration could cause legal troubles.We are both 30 and do not want to involve parents for the court marriage thing.
Please help. TIA.

AFor you , it’s best to marry under the Special Marriage Act, as it allows a civil marriage without religious ceremonies. File a notice of intended marriage at the registrar’s office where either of you has lived for 30 days. After a 30 day notice period, if no objections arise, you both, along with the witnesses, can sign the marriage certificate before the registrar. Since a Muslim marriage under personal law is separately registered, avoid double registration by only registering under the Special Marriage Act.

PHow can I avoid double registration? What documents will be required?
Can I forego the notice and objection for public?
Do I really need to hire a lawyer for this?-
ANo need to hire a lawyer for this.. it’s a simple process. Just let me know the State n I’ll provide you with the complete procedure. As for double registration, there are specific checks in place to prevent it and the same can be done while filing the form. The required documents ould be listed in the checklist that comes with the form which in most cases can be downloaded online. However, notice and publication are mandatory and cannot be avoided.
