Special marriage act and hindu marriage act

Kalyan Ghosh (Querist) 29 May 2013 This query is : Resolved
Respected Sir,
What is the difference between Special Marriage Act,1954 and Hindu Marriage Act,1955.What I know is
A) Special Marriage Act,1954 is registration/legalisation of marriage and subsequently a social cum religious marriage ceremony will take place according to ritual norms and customs.
In this case Legal Registration of Marriage is the first incident and Social Marriage cum Ceremony is the second (after)incident
B)Whereas registration under Hindu Marriage Act,1955 is done for LEGALISING a marriage that has ALREADY UNDERGONE a social cum religious marriage ceremony according to ritual norms and customs .
In this case Legal Registration of Marriage is the SECOND(after) incident and Social Marriage cum Ceremony is the FIRST incident.
With thanks

Are you really in need of knowing the distinction between both the marriage Acts, as a retired person?
