For inter-religious marriage without changing the religion you can marry by civil 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.

It depends on how traditional her family is. I agree with most people that if you want to live a life together and can handle the differences in religion, then go ahead but some traditional interpretations of Islamic laws say that once you are a Muslim, you can't leave, especially the women. (This seems barbaric to many but think about it historically, the consequences to a tribe if all their women are converting or marrying into other tribes could be the end of the tribe) The fact that her parents don't know is possibly an indication that she fears their reaction. The site I put in the source's text shows a couple views on Islamic law. I say talk to her about her parents and encourage her to bring it up before the wedding. Good luck.

Any boy can marry any girl: but the problem is, the Muslim gurus will not allow any community to marry their boy or girl: first the groom or bride should be converted into muslin and then only they will allow for the marriage
If you both are confident and faithful each other, with the help of the accepted parents register the marriage At register office and lead a happy life.Donot worry for any religion, god and etc: Service to the human is the service to the god: So concentrate on you job/work/business.

Marriage is a really important thing when it comes to a couple. It is when you are committed to become one soul, one person, and one family. You don't need to have kids to think that marriage is important because when you are married, it should be your first priority. People get married for a reason, marriage is not a game, if the two spouses didn't love each other(or if one didn't like the other) then they should have just told the other person that they don't want to get married. When you have kids, the kids starts to mean more to you then the spouse does, for some reason, most couples find it really true. All in all, marriage is really important so I hope that I answered your question. Take care and good luck.

It is perfectly OK as long as the following rules/decrees are abided by:
1. Muslim girl converts to Christianity OR none of the parties convert
2. Children are raised Christian
3. Couple gets married under "Special Marriage Act"
Whatever be the case, the Christian man should not convert to islam. This is against God and against the Church. Have some pride and respect. Do not give in to the wishes of the Girls parents and convert to islam. God will curse you and this unholy marriage.

No it is not against Islamic faith to marry a christian. I am a christian and am marrying a muslim man in September. The only thing you need to think about is finding out if it is still necessary to have the marriage witnessed by two muslim men. Also if you belong to a christian church it is likely the minister will not perform the ceremony because muslims do not believe Christ is the son of God, so you may have to find a non-denominational officiant to perform the ceremony.

Both of you will have a lot of obstacles to overcome due to your religious beliefs and your family members on both sides. True love sticks through thick and thin. Under which religion you are going to raise the children? There are many religions because everyone is at a different level spiritually speaking. Religions are different paths that take you to the same place. Religion in itself is not bad even though is man made. Fanaticism is the cancer of religion. I think that both of you have a lot to talk about in this regard. The answer both of you have it. In my opinion: Yes! It is perfectly right to to marry a girl from a different religion than yours.

My (Muslim) religious teacher told me that Muslims are permitted to marry anyone who believes in God and his prophets (meaning Christians and Jews). But in practice, most Muslim parents would rather see their kids dead and buried than married to a non-Muslim. So I guess your girlfriend's parents will give her a hard time when they find out. Also while marrying a Christian is permitted in Islam, you will need her father's (or guardian's) consent to give her away in marriage.
Are you willing to convert (seriously become a practising Muslim, not just in name)? How will you bring up your kids if you have a inter-religious marriage? How important is religion to your girlfriend and to you?
Think these over before you decide to get married.

The girl's parents are going to freak. You need to be honest with the parents because they are a part of this girl's life. Also it would help if you understood their (muslem) tradition and what you are up against.
I really think you need to consider what marriage means and to realize that you are commiting to another person's whole being including her life, her family and beliefs. I don't understand why you are even asking this online when you should be discussing this with your fiance and let the parents know your intentions. Even if they don't agree at least you were up front with them then hiding and letting them find out later.
