Do you need a lawyer for court marriage?
The law does not require one. Many couples still use an advocate to avoid rejected applications, missed deadlines and mistakes in affidavits. An advocate is especially useful if one of you was previously married, is a foreign national, has mismatched documents, or faces family opposition.

What no lawyer can honestly promise
No advocate can skip the statutory 30-day notice under the Special Marriage Act, guarantee a same-day marriage, or guarantee that an authority will issue a certificate on a particular date. Be careful of anyone who does.
Lawyer or advocate?
In India, an advocate is a lawyer enrolled with a State Bar Council and entitled to practise. In everyday use the two words mean the same thing. We use one page for both rather than repeating content.
Fees
Our professional fee depends on the route and complexity and is confirmed before work begins. Government fees are separate. See fees.
