Marriages can be held in faith in SMAct.

All inter-religious marriages, except those within the Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh and Jain communities, be required to be held only under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. According to a report submitted by the Law Commission of India for the purpose of matrimonial causes and remedies, the Special Marriage Act, 1954 provisions can be made applicable to them even if such a marriage has been solemnised under any other law. These are among the recommendations made by the Law Commission of India in its report, ‘Laws of Civil Marriages in India - A Proposal to Resolve Certain Conflicts’ for marriages that fall outside the range of the general and common law of civil marriages in the country.
