Parnika Singh, B.A.LL.B (Hons.), Law College Dehradun, Uttaranchal University

ABSTRACT

Inter-religious or inter-faith marriages lie in the heart of legal disputes in India. Forget about other issues, the foremost question arises as to under which enactment such marriages should be covered. In India, such an enactment exists in the form of The Special Marriage Act, 1954, but it suffers from certain deformities which prevent the parties from opting for civil marriage under this particular Act. The Act is discriminatory on some issues, which the Law Commission seeks to rectify in its 212 Report.

Keywords: marriage, succession, uniform civil code, law commission, religion, inter–religious, personal law
