Chandran J directed the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> respondent (Marriage Officer) to accept the application of the petitioner and permit her to contract the marriage as intended by her, as the Special Marriage Act, 1954 does not bar the solemnization of marriage between an Indian and a foreigner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p ><span lang=\"EN-US\">The Court read Section 4 of the Special Marriage Act and observed that solemnization of the marriage between \u201cany two persons\u201d could not be prohibited in the present case as the petitioner satisfies the conditions stated in sub-clauses (a) to (d) of the said provision. The Court noted that the word \u201cperson\u201d used in Section 4 of the Act does not indicate that either one of the parties or both the parties should be citizens of <st1:country-region w:st=\"on\"><st1:place w:st=\"on\">India<\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region>. The Court further noted that there is no requirement of informing about the said marriage to a Marriage Officer appointed by the Government of India in its embassy at <st1:country-region w:st=\"on\"><st1:place w:st=\"on\">Canada<\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region> as Section 6(3) is not applicable in the instant case, because one of the parties is a foreigner and does not have permanent resident in <st1:country-region w:st=\"on\"><st1:place w:st=\"on\">India<\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region>. Accordingly, the Court permitted the petitioner to contract the marriage as intended by her and directed the Marriage Officer to register the marriage under the Act. <i>Devika Raj v.
