Two young people, one Hindu and one Muslim, are in love and wish to get married. What are the steps they need to take to get married? If their families object, what options do they have?

Under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, they can register their marriage. They must give notice to the Marriage Registrar and fulfill legal requirements like age, consent, and absence of pre-existing marriages. If families object, they can proceed with the registration despite opposition, though family pressure can be a challenge.
