If you are citizen of India no permission of parents is required for any adult marriage in India. 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). Yes you can even marry in a temple in Trivandrum Kerala & get the marriage registered under section 8 of the Hindu Marriage Act,1955. You can even marry in UAE itself according to Indian matrimonial law under the Foreign Marriage Act,1969 , where the procedure for marriage is similar as provided under the Special marriage Act,1954 only thing is that the marriage officer in that case is the official of the Indian Embassy.These are the brief procedure I have told you here, incase you want any clarification you can ask.

For a court Marriage you could actually register yourself at the UAE's embassy itself under Special Marriage Act even before you land into India and then for your satisfaction come to India and get married in the temple.

this is something you have to discuss with your parents i dont know if you and your family believe in arranged marriages if so you can only try to talk them around to your way of thinking i could say that maybe as you are of indian descendant but are british by birth you can say you no longer believe in the arrangement your parents were brought up in i will say dont run away from home not only will you miss your family you could get into some dangerous situations maybe if you have a man who you find is your ideal partner already a trip to a registry office may stop your parents wishes i do know of some indian girls who have done this

It is better to have the marriage registered, even after solemnising it in a temple. It is perfectly legal and valid to marry another eligible adult, whether the parents like it or not.

If u want to be legally married then u have to register urself after u get married in a temple or church. If u want a blessed life then u have to tell ur parents & convince them. Think can u live with out them?
