Now i want to register the said our marriage under the "Special Marriage Act 1954". I have few doubts to be clarified.My doubts are as follows
1) Can the musilm married couple register their marriage under Special Marriage act 1954?
2) After registration under this special marriage act 1954, can the Muslim personal law (Shariath law) prevail over the Indian penal code provisions regarding second marriage?
3)After registration under this special marriage act 1954,whether special marraige act is applicable to our marriage or Muslim personal law will dominate?
3)After registration under this special marriage act 1954,Can a muslim husband perform a second marriage by applying muslim personal law?
4)What are all the procedures and documents required to register the marriage which was already registered under the shariath law and Tamilnadu registration of marriage act 2009?
5) Currenly we are living in bangalore and can we register our marriage under this 1954 act in bangalore city itself?
