How can we register our marriage under SMA?

My girlfriend and I want to register our marriage in India. Since my girlfriend is not Indian, we need to register our marriage under the Special Marriage Act. However, I saw on your YouTube channel that it takes 15 to 30 days. Is it possible to get an appointment and register our marriage in 2 to 3 days?

Under the Special Marriage Act (SMA) in India, you must give a 30-day notice at the marriage registrar's office, where at least one of you has lived for 30 days. After this period, if no objections are raised, the marriage can be registered. It is not possible to complete the process in 2-3 days, as the notice period is mandatory. You can check with the local registrar for any fast-track options, but exceptions are rare.
