The notice board for special marriage will be published at the registry office where you have applied. Under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, couples intending to marry must submit a notice to the marriage officer in their district. This notice is then published on the notice board at that specific registry office for 30 days, allowing anyone to raise objections. Sections 5 and 6 of the Act outline this process, ensuring transparency and giving the public an opportunity to contest the marriage based on valid grounds. However, this requirement has been challenged as a potential violation of privacy rights under Article 21 of the Constitution, raising concerns about personal safety and societal interference in private matters.

The notice board for a special marriage will be published at the registry office where you have applied for the marriage, not at your hometown's registry office. According to the Special Marriage Act, once you submit your application, the marriage officer in the jurisdiction of the office where you applied will display the notice on their notice board. This allows for any objections to be raised within a specified period. Therefore, ensure you check with the specific registry office where your application was submitted for further details regarding the notice and any subsequent steps in the marriage registration process.
