Answer 1

Find below mentioned file If they are not already exist within your theme copy the following files from the base/default theme to your theme:

template/customer/address/edit.phtml
template/checkout/onepage/shipping.phtml
template/checkout/onepage/billing.phtml

For example remove validation on city field :

In each of these files, look for the <input> that defines the city field and remove the required class from the label, remove the required-attribute class from the input and make sure to remove the *.

In the same way you can remove others field validation or comment <input> for completely disable this fields.

I hope you will get some idea from this.

        }

If you're working with a Community Edition, you'll have to manually change this value with SQL. It's in eav_attribute table, the attribute_code is email and you just need to set is_required to 0.

or using Query SQL UPDATE eav_attribute SET is_required = 0 WHERE attribute_code = 'email';
