Can a Catholic priest perform a marriage without a registrar present?
No, a Catholic priest cannot perform a marriage without a registrar present. In most countries, the presence of a registrar or marriage officer is required by law to legally register the marriage. The priest can perform the religious ceremony, but the marriage also needs to be registered with the appropriate authorities.
Can anyone besides a priest perform a wedding ceremony?
(Since the questioner placed the question in the Catholiccategory, I will limit the scope of my answer to Catholic wedding ceremonies.) In many dioceses, permanent deacons regularly conduct Catholic marriage ceremonies, without, of course, the Nuptial Mass, which only a priest may celebrate. In dioceses with few priests the local bishop has delegated members of religious communites to conduct Catholic weddings.
Is court marriage is possible in Hindu girl and Muslim boy?
No it would not be allowed by their family cause their two different religions. If by "court marriage" the question is asking about civil marriage (i.e. being married by a judge without religious affiliation), then yes. In any country where civil marriage is performed, as not all countries perform civil marriage, a Hindu girl and a Muslim boy can be married. However, no religious authority (from either Hinduism or Islam) will sanctify the union as a religious marriage.

Can a divorced Catholic man who's first marriage was outside the church marry a non-Catholic woman in a Catholic church without an annulment?
Roman Catholic AnswerNo, anytime there is an attempt at marriage on record, that attempt must first be declared void before the Church can perform a marriage. So if there was a first marriage - regardless of the circumstances, it must still be declared null and void before permission can be granted for a marriage. Speak to your parish priest about this as soon as possible as annulment is long and involved. The Church normally assumes the attempted marriage was valid when beginning an investigation, and all judgments must be appealed to Rome. However, if you were a Catholic when you attempted a marriage outside the Church, in this instance, they will probably assume that there was not a valid marriage and the annulment might not take as long.

Can a divorced non-catholic man marry a catholic woman if his previous marriage was a civil ceremony performed at home without the declaration of nullity?
If the man was baptized Catholic, married in a civil ceremony and then divorced, yes, he can marry a Catholic woman in a Church ceremony in the presence of the priest or deacon with proper paper work completed. He could also marry again in a civil ceremony. You need to talk to a priest and apply for an annulment which is a ruling from the Church that no sacramental marriage is present from the civil marriage.
