Procedure for converting christian act to special act

Hi,

I need your expertise advice to help my friend.

my friend is hindu and her husband is christian, they just got married last month. Since its an intercaste wedding she never want to convert to be christian just for wedding to take place. Thus inorder to make the wedding take place  they somehow managed to get married in church &  register their wedding under christian act without she getting converted.

 we all were not aware of special act until we spoke with common friend who got married under special act.

could you please help me to understand if there will be any complication or problems that she/her husband will be facing in future if her name is mentioned as christian name in wedding certificate . she want to continue to be hindu through out her life and to be displayed as hindu in all her government/legal documents like passwort/visa/citizen card etc..

IS it ok to maintain their marriage under christian marriage act or is it advisable to register it under special act, if so what is the procedure to do so in chennai as we are from chennai.

If there will be any problem coming in future then what kind of issue they will need to face under both the acts.

 

Thanks in advance

1. Your friend being a hindu and even if her husband is a christian there is no complusion from the church to convert  and they can get marrried in the church and can follow their respective religions .

2. But i presume the church would take it in writing that the children born out of their wedlock would have to follow the christian religion . These problems may arise when the couple would have a clash against this matter . Marriage is a matter of compromises even if the children  follow the hindu religion and the couple have no issues i dont forsee anything going wrong with their relationship .

3. So everything depends on the couple as long as the marriage is going smooth it does not matter but when it goes sour than the problem starts .
