Special Marriage Application List | Eligibility for Marriage Registration Certificate

Special marriage application list refers to the list of documents and information required when applying for a special marriage under the Special Marriage Act of 1954 in India.

Special Marriage Application List

A special marriage application list refers to a registry or roster of individuals who have applied for a special marriage license. This license is typically required when the couple belongs to different religions, casts, or communities. The application list is usually maintained by the local government authority responsible for issuing marriage licenses.

The special marriage application list contains important details about the couple, including their names, ages, addresses, and other pertinent information. This list is often used to ensure that the special marriage license application process is fair and transparent. It is important for couples to understand the requirements and procedures involved in obtaining a special marriage license in their jurisdiction.

Special Marriage Application List

The registration of a previously solemnised marriage can be carried out under either the Hindu Marriage Act of 1955 or the Special Marriage Act of 1954. The Hindu Marriage Act is applicable if both the husband and wife are Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, or Sikhs, or if they have converted to any of these religions. On the other hand, if one or both partners do not belong to any of these religions, the Special Marriage Act of 1954 is applicable for registering the marriage.
