Special Marriage Act, 1954 — overview
Special Marriage Act ek central law hai jo do baaligh logon ko unke caste, religion ya nationality se pare legally shaadi karne ki suvidha deta hai. Iska sabse bada faayda — kisi ko apna dharm badalne ki zaroorat nahi. Isiliye ye inter-caste aur inter-religion (love) marriages ke liye sabse sahi aur secure legal route maana jaata hai.
