Need information

I would like to know if it is true that as a result of a recent amendment in the existing Special marriage Act and the Hindu Marriage Act, marriages can now be legalised/solemnised without the concerned parties having to give a month's notice as was mandatory till now. Has the conrelevant amendment come into force?

Thanks in advance..

do I understand that if two consenting adults who are currently residents of Delhi can marry immediately under the SM , i.e., without having to wait for a month? Alternatively, if these two persons are staying outside Delhi, can they come to Delhi and get married immediately?

Thanks...
