You both belonging to different religion can marry in the court without changing your individual religion. 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 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, Pan card), proof of residence (Passport, ration card, voters ID 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.

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what country you are in. Every country has different laws about what makes a legal marriage. I know that in the USA, the court procedure for you will be the same as for anyone else. In every state, you have to get a marriage license. The requirements for that are a bit different in each state - some states require blood tests, some require proof of residency - and you can find out the specific requirements by calling the local justice of the peace. Once you get the marriage license, then you can have the wedding - either the judge at the court where you get the marriage license, or other officiant like ordained clergy (meaning properly trained and recognized) of whichever religion you and your fiance decide. I think in most "Western" countries it is something similar. You do not have to change your religion, and you do not have to have a religious wedding ceremony. But I have really no idea about other places.
Best wishes to you both.

I'm muslim and I married a christian man. We just used the legal procedure of the country i.e. New Zealand in my case.
You could use the legal procedure in yours - if it's India - a court marriage - that way, neither of you are involved with religion.
If you're not happy, you could have a hindu ceremony first and then a muslim one. Or a muslim first and then hindu.
Although, you should discuss this with your husband to be - if he wants you to convert or not.
If you love one another - religion should be your last problem!
Good luck and I hope everything works out for you!

beware of marrying muslim guys, you can get in all kinds of trouble after marriage. if you convert to islam, the guy can divorce you at his will and pleasure and there is nothing you can do about it. if you marry under special marriage act, the guy might still have 3 wives before you and you may be his 4th wife better you get a private detective to check out his charecter and how many wives he has first. why do you care about his MNC status and salary are there not any hindu guys working in MNC's ?

u must be over 18 and he must be over 20. you might need a photographer and 2 or 5 people both over 20 to sign as an withess to your marrige. your marriage would be soleminized in the magistrte office.
or you can consult any lawyer to get an complete information.
