- The Supreme Court observed that there is no blanket ban on advocates solemnising “self-respect” marriages under Section 7(A) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955.
- On January 17, 1968, the Hindu Marriage (Tamil Nadu Amendment) Act, 1967, received the President’s approval and became the law.
- This amendment modified the Hindu Marriage Act of 1955, by inserting Section 7-A into it.
- However, it was extended only to the state of Tamil Nadu.
- Section 7-A deals with the special provision on “self-respect and secular marriages”.
- It legally recognises “any marriage between any two Hindus”.
- It can be referred to as “suyamariyathai” or “seerthiruththa marriage” or by any other name.
