'Idiots, lunatics' can’t register their marriages': Form

A clause in Form III to register marriages under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, meant for those seeking to wed beyond the ambit of personal laws and sectarian divides like caste and faith, asks applicants to declare that "neither of us, is an idiot or lunatic". While this may be part of a valid legal document, many feel the terms are frivolous and insensitive.
