Yes it is possible for any person in India to marry another person of same religion or different religion without converting, legally by way of court marriage. Court marriage as you call it is solemnized under the Special Marriage Act, 1954 all such marriages can take place between any two Indian citizens as well one Indian citizen with a foreigner irrespective of their religion, caste or creed, and you can say this is the secular form of marriage available in our country. Such a marriage is solemnized before the marriage officer/registrar usually D.C. deputy commissioner of the area (Sub registrar/SDM is the marriage officer/registrar only in case the already solemnized marriage under any other Act has to be registered) where both or any of the parties to such a marriage reside permanently or for at least one month. Cost of such a marriage is merely Rs90/- or as the rate prevalent in your area. Now how you proceed? Both the parties to the marriage file a joint application before the marriage officer along with individual affidavit attested by notary public specifying the age(boy 21yrs &girl 18yrs), place of residence, marital status(unmarried or divorcee as the case maybe), mental status(not idiot or not with unfit mind), not related to each other. Along with this you have to give proof of age( School certificate, Passport,) , proof of residence(Passport, ration card, voters id card, PAN card, rent agreement) , & the application of such a marriage should be witnessed by 3 independent adult persons, affix one photograph of each of the parties & all the 3 witnesses. You have made such an application/notice to the marriage officer in person along with all the 3 witnesses. On receiving such an application the marriage officer issues a month notice regarding the intended marriage & get such a notice affixed on the notice board out side his office, a copy of such notice is sent to the marriage officer under whose jurisdiction the other party lives, also a copy is to the individual parties address. After expiry of the period of notice a date is fixed on which all the persons parties to the marriage & 3 witnesses appear again before the marriage officer who declare them married & issue a certificate to this regard. Incase of any objections raised the marriage officer will settle these objections. Now what can be objections that can be raised? These can ONLY BE REGARDING THE CONDITIONS NECESSARY FOR SUCH MARIAGE & NOTHING ELSE. What are the conditions? As I stated above i.e. Age, martial status, mental status, prohibited relationship (related to each other by blood). This is the brief procedure I have told you here, incase you want any clarification you can ask.

If both the bride and the groom are Muslims,then as per Islamic law a parent or guardian of the child can give away the girl in marriage to the guy if they consent to do so in the presence of two witnesses from the girl's side and two witnesses from the guy's side.The groom must give away the 'Mahar' in the form of money or gold to the bride and the same must be mentioned in Marriage contract signed by the bride and groom and the witnesses.If any one of you is not a Muslim then you can not opt for a Islamic marriage.That implies that if you join hands through any other means your marriage will not be legal in the light of Islamic law.Then your life together and children will be illegitimate.

Yes Legally it is possibly not only in India but in abroad too.
First of all you have to get married. Since you are muslim and the girl is hindu then you have to do Nikah. After getting the Nikah Nama you go to the Marriage Court and register your marriage. Since you want to play safe after that registration directly go to the Police station and register a FIR against your and girls parents and other family members. This is done because they can put up the case of missing and kidnapping if you dont do the FIR first. After the FIR number nobody can touch you because you are legally married and second you have the FIR with your side.
BEST OF LUCK AND GOD BLESS YOU

Nope. A Muslim girl cannot marry a Muslim guy without conversion. I am telling you the flat out truth. If its really serious then You can ask some scholar. But according to all scholars you cannot marry a Hindu guy without him being converted. I am so sorry

If I were you, even if I had to change I would have done that for the love of my life, since all religion teaches nothing but Love.
I am not aware about the legalities, which a Lawyer will be in a better position to tell.
All said and done wish you good luck.

Are you talking about muslim guy and (other religion) girl??
If I am right in guessing ....there is nothing illegal in inter religion marriage. Best is consult a attorney to get a clear idea. But your concern should not be legal but social, if thats ok, there is no barrier I believe.

There is no legal hassle or need to convert, if you go for a civil marriage before a registrar of marriages. And that way, you can follow your own religious beliefs too.
