The Madhya Pradesh High Court has deemed marriages between Muslim men and Hindu women under the Special Marriage Act "irregular" under Muslim personal law. The court dismissed a plea for police protection for registration, emphasizing that such marriages are not valid according to Muslim law, even if registered under the Special Marriage Act. The ruling came during a case where a Hindu-Muslim couple sought protection to marry without converting religions. The court upheld the legality of marriages under the Special Marriage Act while highlighting their lack of validity under personal religious laws.
