A.Hi,
Couples practicing different religions can solemnize their marriage under Special Marriage Act, 1954. The procedure for marriage is different here, and parties above the age of majority, can get married without their parents' consent after duly following the prescribed procedure. Even if you parents do not consent to your marriage you can get married by getting witnesses since you will be required to get three witnesses at the time of solemnization of marriage as per Section 17. Section 6 of the act mandates you to publish the news and allows people to provide their objections for intended marriage, if after thirty days period nobody objects you can get married. For the issue of your partner being available through phone call or even video call, it is not possible to get married in this manner under this act. Since Section 11 specifies that both parties should be present along with the witness so it is evident that the couple should be present in the Marriage Officer's office while getting married.

A.Hi,
Interfaith couples can get married under Special Marriage Act, 1954. You can get married without your parents' consent however, as per Section 17 you will need to have three witnesses at the time of solemnization of marriage. Also, Section 6 of the act mandates you to publish the news and after thirty days period if nobody objects to your impending marriage you can get married. Also, Section 11 specifies that both parties should be present along with the witness. Thus, it is clear that your partner will have to there in physical form before the marriage Officer and can not be married virtually, or through a phone call.
