The Special Marriage Act allows them this freedom. The following list shows the most common reasons why couples choose this option.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Couples from different religions or castes who want to marry without converting to each other\u2019s religion choose this act.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many couples do not want a religious ceremony and prefer a simple civil marriage. This act gives them freedom for that.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Couples who do not follow any religion or are atheists can marry under the Special Marriage Act.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many NRI couples or couples settled abroad prefer court marriage under this act as it is internationally recognized and easier to validate in foreign countries.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compared to big-fat Indian weddings, court marriage is simpler, faster, and significantly more affordable. That\u2019s why many couples choose that.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many educated urban couples choose this act simply as a statement of personal freedom, marrying on their own terms without family or religious pressure.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The act provides equal legal rights to both husband and wife, making it an attractive option for couples who want a marriage based on equality.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Key Disadvantages of the Special Marriage Act in India<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Special Marriage Act sounds simple, but it contains multiple hidden difficulties. Couples start to experience problems after they begin the process. The following list shows the key disadvantages that couples need to understand before they proceed.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Mandatory 30-Day Public Notice Period- <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Couples have to give a 30-day public notice before marriage. This notice is displayed publicly at the registrar&#8217;s office. Anyone can read it during this period. This waiting period does not exist in most religious marriages.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Privacy Concerns and Social Pressure-<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The public notice contains personal details like name, age, and address of both partners. Anyone can access this information. This kills the privacy of the couple completely. Many couples face unwanted social pressure, family interference, and community opposition during this period.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Risk of Honour Crimes During Notice Period-<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The 30-day notice makes the couple&#8217;s details public. This can reach their family or community without their permission. Some families react violently when they find out. This puts the couple&#8217;s safety at serious risk during this period.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Limited Acceptance in Rural Areas-<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> People in rural areas who have small towns and village communities believe that this act goes against their traditional values. The couples who decide to follow this route will experience both family rejection and social isolation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Documentation Formalities-<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The Special Marriage Act needs three specific documents, which include birth certificates, address proof, and identity proof. Missing these certificates will delay the whole process.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>No Religious Ceremonies or Customs Recognised-<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This act does not allow any religious rituals or customs during the marriage ceremony. For many families, this is emotionally difficult to accept. The absence of religious customs makes the marriage feel incomplete to some couples and their families.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Inheritance Rights Issues Under the Special Marriage Act-<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> After marrying under this act, couples lose their share in ancestral or family property. This is something most couples do not know beforehand. It can create serious financial problems later in life.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Challenges Faced by NRI Couples- <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting documents verified from abroad involves multiple government offices and long delays. The couple needs to verify all the documents with the officials, and managing this in different time zones becomes a headache for them.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Recent Controversies Around the Special Marriage Act<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>Supreme Court Same-Sex Marriage Verdict- <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As per the Supreme Court Observer, on 17 October 2023, the Supreme Court rejected the request for queer persons\u2019 right to marry in India. It states that marriages between queer persons cannot be read into the Special Marriage Act, 1954. The first petition was filed by Supriyo Chakraborty and Abhay Dang in this case.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Notice and Objection Provisions Challenged-\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Wikipedia, the petitioners in Supriyo v. The Union of India case asked the Supreme Court to eliminate the notice and objection provisions of the Special Marriage Act. The applicants claimed that the Constitution of India grants them fundamental rights which the provisions violate.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Supriyo_v._Union_of_India)<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Who Should and Should Not Opt for a Special Marriage Act?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Special Marriage Act provides interfaith and inter-caste couples with an option to marry legally without the need to convert to another faith. Couples should carefully consider their options because public notice requirements and social risks create difficulties. The public notice period and social risks make it a difficult choice for many.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many couples face unexpected challenges when they learn about the Special Marriage Act&#8217;s disadvantages. If you learn about these challenges in advance, you will be able to handle them without experiencing any extra pressure. The Gupta Document Centre provides assistance for marriage registration paperwork, which enables you to complete the process without difficulties.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disadvantages of the Special Marriage Act- Did you know your marriage notice can be seen by anyone, including your family?
