• Regarding love marriage

My boyfrnd's age is 25 years. His parents had done his roka without his knowledge bcz they didnt wnt us to get married. He got to knw abt the roka frm the neighbours. Evn girl family didnt meet him or show the girl to him. When he protested,his family emotionaly blackmailed him and his father got himself hospitalised. He forcefuly had to do the ring ceremony.Till then he didnt even knw whom he getting engaged with or any of her whereabouts as his father knew that if he get to know her he will tell her family the whole truth. After the ring ceremony he got tht girl's number and aftr some tym he told her family abt the situation in which this engagement had happned. Now even the girl family are forcing him to get married wth the girl even after knowing he lov smone else. His father even threaten him. Now we are planning to get married in court. Now i want to know if we get married then will there be any law against my boyfriend? Bcz all fault was his father's as he didnt tell girl family anything before. His father oftenly beats him as he always denies to marry that girl, so I want to know if he should/can file a complaint against his family and the girl's family for harrassing him? Also he is doing the business in which his father has given the investment, so can he continue that business legally or can he start his own business with his savings or taking loan? What is the procedure to take police protection?

You can get married under provisions of special marriage act wherein 30 days notice is required to be given to marriage registrar

2) there is no marriage procedure wherein marriage is solemnised in front of judge

1. If you too have attained the age of marriage i.e 18 years then you are free to marry him.

2. Both of you can marry under Special Marriage Act which will take around a month. You need two witnesses on either side and execute few affidavits each. However, the notice will be sent to your address that you mention in the application form.

3. Instead of marrying under SMA you may marry according to vedic rituals and then apply for registration of your marriage.

4. It is possible that his parents may file false cases against both of you, to preempt which you may file a protection petition in the High Court.

- He will violate no law if he marries you against the wishes of his father.

- Both of you may get legally married without seeking anyone else's consent.

- Since, he has just performed roka and engagement, your bf's marriage with this girl can still be called off at this stage; things would have been different had the two of them got married, which isn't the case.

- Approach the Registrar of Marriage for your court marriage. Fill up the requisite forms, whereafter a public notice will be published in the newspaper, inviting objections from public. After elapse of about 21 days from this notice, the marriage will be solemnised before the Registrar in presence of 2 witnesses. Whole process of Curt Marriage takes about a month.

-After getting married in Court, approach the High Court seeking protection.

Father of your boyfriend-cannot force him to get married agaisnt his wishes.

He can very well marry you agaisnt his father's wishes or all the obstruction for your marriage.

The police also cannot take any action if you both are adults and of marriageable age.

As per my above question I want to know the procedure of getting married in front of judge. As someone has told me that there is a process in which we can get married in front of judge so that he can warn the parents to let us live accordingly

A court marriage is not exactly a marriage taking place in court or before a judge.

The registered marriage is known as court marriage.

They both have to present themselves before a marriage registrar along with witnesses and get married before the marriage registrar.

Hello,

I will tell you an easier way. Get married in an Arya Samaj Mandir and then get it registered with the registrar of marriages because doing a court marriage is a lengthy process and there is noting like the judge giving warning to parents.

After getting married you can prefer a petition in the HC for getting an order to the extent that you two are major and have married willfully and no one shall disturb the peaceful existence of yours.

Business sharing and investment is a family issue and it is upto thr family of the boy whether they want to continue or not.
