1. Therre is no way in special marriage act to perform marriage without the kowledge to the family of the person desiring to register their marriage.

2. The verification of their address is compulsory.

Ideally yes, but there is some HC judgement which states that the notice should not be send to the address. I'll see and get hold of that judgement. If you give that judgement, then the notice may not be send to the address.

If the documents are proper, like passport or ration card, then the verification of the address does not take place.

I am grateful to you. your reply is really relieving to my friends. I will really appreciate, if you attach the copy of those HC judgements. my friends have the passport that show the address where they are staying not of thier permanent paternal home.

in such case , they might prevent problem from thier family members.

if you cant give us copy of those HC judgements then please give us the reference

warm regards

I have studied the link given by you. the Delhi HC decision is remarkable. but I am failed to get the copy of that decision.

secondely some people says that Decision of Delhi HC is applicable only in Delhi.

please give your comment on it.

thirdly is there any supreme court decision on non-involvement of parents in court marriage under special marriage act?

my friends have the passport and voter ID that doesn't mention the address of their permanent address. if they attach the copy of thier passport and voter id , then thier problem may solve?

please reply

Thanks
