Yes, you can perform a court marriage in Kochi under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, without informing your parents if both partners are legally adults (male 21+, female 18+). A rent agreement is not mandatory, but you need valid address proof, identity proof, and three witnesses. After giving a 30-day notice at the Marriage Registrar’s office, objections (if any) will be considered. If no valid objections arise, the marriage can be solemnized legally.

Yes, if both partners are legally adults (male 21+, female 18+), you can marry under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, without informing parents. A rent agreement is not mandatory, but you need valid address and identity proofs like Aadhaar, passport, or voter ID. You must submit a marriage notice at the local sub-registrar office in Kochi, which is publicly displayed for 30 days. If no objections arise, you can legally marry with three witnesses, and parents’ consent is not required.
