In Kerala, we registered our marriage under the Special Marriage Act, which is the common legal path for interfaith couples, to avoid converting. It felt very straightforward here, though I know in other states families can make it a social battle. For us, the real issue wasn't the law or society, but getting both sets of parents to truly bless our "Christian-Sikh" union—that took more patience than any paperwork. Now, our neighbors just joke about whose festival means more sweets for the kids.
