There are several misconceptions about the court marriage procedure in society, one of which being that only couples who want to get married outside of their caste or religion would apply for a court marriage. These misconceptions are not only unfounded, but they also prevent people from thinking about the many benefits of being married in court. This article will explain the idea of a court marriage and whether or not it is exclusively for couples from different castes and religions.

Marriage in Court

Any couple from any caste, religion, race, etc., might get married in front of the marriage officer under the Special Marriage Act of 1954.
In India, religious beliefs and customs have an impact on personal law issues like marriage and inheritance. For instance, Muslims marry according to Islamic teachings, whereas Hindus marry according to Sanatan customs.

On the other hand, the Special Marriage Act of 1954 allows two people to get married regardless of their caste, religion, ethnicity, etc. The terms of the Act would govern such a marriage. For Court Marriage, no customs or rituals are necessary except for the procedure provided by the law.

Busting the Myth

It is possible that the misconception that court marriages are mostly for couples from different castes or religions originated from the idea that these unions could be a way to get around social or familial objections because of caste or religious issues. On the one hand, it is true that couples from different castes, religions, or with different beliefs could choose to get married in court, avoiding any confusion about the type of ceremony they should choose, etc., but this should not be assumed to be the only reason for applying for a court marriage. One could get married through the judicial system for a variety of other reasons.

1. Easy and Practical
   Court marriage is a straightforward process that can be completed quickly, so couples from any social background can get married through it. Traditional marriages include numerous rituals, elaborate customs, taking longer period of time, are tedious in nature. On the other hand, court marriages could be completed within no time and are hassle-free.
   
   Court marriages could be appealing to such couples who wish to get married in a private and intimate setting without any unnecessary social pressure or financial burden.
    
2. Legal Recognition and Protection for the Couple
   A court marriage guarantees the legality of the union, giving the couple specific rights and legal protections. Additionally, it guarantees that the marriage is legally valid by requiring a number of laws and affidavits to be submitted when applying for a court marriage.
   
   Additionally, because marriage is governed by religious rules, couples from different castes or religions would be protected by the Special Marriage Act of 1954, which would grant them a number of legal advantages in the event of a dispute, including inheritance, property rights, maintenance, and more. It is recommended that you obtain legal advice from knowledgeable court marriage attorneys at Sharks of Law in order to better comprehend the procedures and the documentation needed for the court marriage process.
    
3. Non-discriminatory and Secular in Character

5. Steer Clear of Needless Delays
   Court weddings could be consummated in a single day in front of the marriage officer and within a predetermined time range. Conventional marriages, on the other hand, require a significant time and financial investment and a variety of procedures involving multiple parties. For these couples who lack time for various reasons, court marriages are beneficial.

In conclusion
