How does the Allahabad Court allow couples to avoid publishing a marriage notice?
In January 2021, the Allahabad Court published a clause. You can also look up the same case on the official court website. According to that clause, if a couple does not want their marriage notice to be published, they can submit a written notice to the SDM office and directly solemnize their marriage as per the Special Marriage Act of 1954. Please refer to the page above and review the 46th clause at the bottom.
In January 2021, the Allahabad Court made a significant provision Clause 46 that presents the couple with an option other than the general procedure for advertising their marriage notice. Basically, if the couple does not want their marriage information made public, they can just file a written application with the Sub-Divisional Magistrate's (SDM) office. As soon as that notice is accepted, the couple is free to solemnize their marriage according to the Special Marriage Act of 1954 without the need for publishing their notice. This step is meant to preserve privacy for couples who might have good personal or social reasons to have their union remain secret.
The Allahabad High Court ruling allows couples marrying under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, to avoid public notice publication. If a couple wishes to keep their marriage private, they can submit a written request to the SDM office. This enables them to solemnize their marriage without the notice being made public, ensuring privacy. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number
