Introduction
A special marriage (prevalently known as a common marriage or an enrolled marriage) is a marriage solemnized under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. The Special Marriage Act addresses marriages of inter-caste and inter-religion. India follows the caste system’s rigid structure, and marriage between religions is still considered a taboo in the country. The Special Marriage Act, 1954, was passed by Parliament, which requires the people of India to marry regardless of their religion for a special type of marriage.
