**Step-by-Step Registration Process

1. Submit Notice of Intended Marriage
   Your journey begins with filing a formal notice at the marriage registrar's office in your district. At least one applicant must have resided in the district for 30 days before submission.
2. Public Notice Period
   The registrar's office places your notice on their public board for 30 days. This period allows for any valid legal objections to be raised and investigated.
3. Document Verification and Objection Handling
   Registrar officials carefully verify the documents and eligibility. If there are objections, the couple may be called for a hearing.
4. Legal Solemnization of Marriage
   After successful verification and completion of the notice period, your marriage will be solemnized in the presence of a Marriage Officer and three adult witnesses. The ceremony is simple and civil, focusing on legal affirmation over ritual.
5. Marriage Certificate Issued
   The final step is signing the official marriage register. Your legally valid Special Marriage Certificate is issued and can be collected, often usable for all government, financial, visa, and immigration purposes.
