The only possible way known to me is to solemnize and register it under Special Marriage Act.

To avoid confusions its best to solemnize the marriage under Special Marriage Act but i dint find any law which says the Religion will be changed by virtue of marriage.

I do not agree with
"law which says the Religion will be changed by virtue of marriage."
Marriage between persons of different religions is valid in some countries. In India the shelter is in Special Marriage Act.

I request Mr.Sudhir to quote any ruling/law which says Religion will be changed by virtue of marriage...

I never said religion will be changed by cross marraige.
I said marriage between persons of different religion is possible only under Special Marriage Act.
Or else one of them has to change religion.

It is no more an issue. You can very well marry as per Special Marriage Act and lead a happily married life without changing any of your religion.

If both do not wish to change their religions, in India the marriage under Special Marriage Act is only the way. For this you have to consult the concerned Registrar or Marriages who will guide you with the procedure for solemnizing the marriage under SM Act.

I respectfully slighly disagree with Mr. Malipeddi Jaggarao, since law is amply clear, no need to ask/consult the Registrar of Marriages who is duty bound to register the marraige under the provisions of Special Marriage Act.

Thanks Dr.Vashista - my advice to consult the concerned Registrar is only to get guidance if the author has any doubts about the procedure and requirements to get the marriage registered under SM Act.
