Common misconception: Marriage by Special Marriage Act only requires notice to the District Magistrate
family clat_pg beginner myth_bustMaine yeh sawal kabhi-kabhi padha aur suna hai, 'jo Marriage by Special Marriage Act ka application karta hai, usko notice district magistrate ko dene ki zaroorat hai.' Lekin yeh sach nahin hai! Section 5(1) Special Marriage Act, 1954 ke according, notice ko kisi bhi registered marriage registrar (not district magistrate) ko dena hota hai. Aur yeh notice pata karne vali shakha hoti hai jahaan dono parties registered hote hain ya hain. Toh coaching classes aur notes ka yeh point galat hai.
Abhi toh main samajh nahin aaya, phir bhi yeh sawal padha raha hai.

Arey yeh to galat hai! (Oh this is wrong!) You think kuch bhi (anything) is required from the District Magistrate side? Actually, a minimum of 30 days' notice is required to be given to the District Magistrate, and if he doesn't object, then sab theek hai (everything is fine). But if he raises an objection, then the couple needs to give another 30 days' notice and even that may not be the end of it.
