Ans.: Please go to the office of the registrar of marriages in your district and get all the guidance about registering your marriage under the special Marriage Act'. You have to give 30 days notice before you register your marriage. If there is no registrar of Marriages in your district, find out the govt. office, which is authorized to register marriages. Consult a local lawyer about the validity of your marriage.
