Marriage certificate is legal and a valid document as it establishes the marital status of a couple. This document is very much useful especially sudden demise of a husband or wife and when you need to prove about your marriage. Hence, Supreme Court made it mandatory for a couple to register irrespective of the religion they belong to.

Why you need to register marriage?
- It is a valuable evidence of marriage under the law of the land.
- It provides social security and confidence among women.
- It is helpful in getting Passport/Visa.
- It will be helpful in claiming Bank Deposits, Life Insurance or any other investments or property when the depositee, life insured person or investor dies without opting nomination.
So you noticed that it is very much important for married couple to register it immediately after marriage. Currently Hindu’s (Hindu, Buddhist, Brahma, Parthana and Arya samaj) can register marriage certificate under the law of Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. Parsi’s (Parsies and Zoroastrians) can register under the act of Parsi Marriage and Divorce Act, 1936. Rest can register their marriages under the act of Special Marriage Act, 1954.
Where you need to register marriage?
- Marriages under Hindu Marriage Act can be registered in the office of the Registrar of Marriage within the jurisdiction under which the marriage taken place or in the office of Marriage Officer in whose jurisdiction the bride or bridegroom resides.
- Marriage under Special Marriage Act can be registered in the office of the Marriage Officer under whose jurisdiction bride or bridegroom resides.
- Marriage under Parsi Marriage Act can be registered in the Office of the District Registrar under whose jurisdiction the marriage takes place.
Sub Registrar Officer who register documents related property or immovable property transaction is usually called Marriage Officer. So you need to register your marriage by visiting the Marriage Officer office which usually situated in Taluk Head Quarters/District Head Quarters/or in few places of Hobli Head Quarters. Age of the Bridegroom must have completed 21 years and bride 18 years completed.
What is the procedure for registering?

2) Fill the details like name and address of bride and bridegroom.

4) Paste the Joint Photo of bride and bridegroom in the space provided on application form and sign across it.

2) If no objections were received with the prescribed 30 days then they can appear before marriage officer within the next 60 days after 30 days notice period completion. They must bring in 3 witnesses for solemnization of marriage. After this marriage officer according to rule will solemnize the marriage. Within 90 days from this marriage officer’s solemnize if couple not get married then again they need to start a fresh procedure as said above.
3) Marriage officer will administer oath and solemnize the marriage by issuing the certificate of marriage.
4) Both couple along with 3 witnesses must sign the declaration and on certificate of marriage.
- Under Parsi Marriage and Divorce Act, 1936
1) Parsi priest solemnize the marriage.
2) He will obtain the signatures of bride, bridegroom and 2 witnesses in the prescribed form and issue a certificate of marriage.
3) Certificate need to send to Marriage Officer for registration along with prescribed fee.
4) Registrar will record it in the prescribed register.
Time limit for registration–
Marriages under Hindu or Parsi Marriage Act may be registered any time after marriage. But if marriage held already and you are registering the marriage under Special Marriage Act then follow the below procedure.

- They must be married and living together since then.

- Any of them should not be idiot or lunatic at the time of marriage.
- Both husband and wife must complete 21 years of age.
- Both husband and wife should have lived more than 30 days within the jurisdiction of marriage officer.
Restrictions for registration of marriages–
Under Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 and Special Marriage Act, 1954
- If Bridegroom or Bride are married husband or wife.
- If Bridegroom or Bride are suffering from any mental illness or unsound mind.

Under Parsi Marriage Act 1936
- If both Bridegroom or Bride are relative according to said law and comes under prohibited relationship then they can’t register the marriage.

Dear Sir,
I am a Hindu and I got married to a Christian Girl in 2002 in Catholic church as per the Catholic Christian Church Law. Since Catholic church allows a Catholic and Hindu marriage without conversion of Hindu to Christian. so I follow my religion and my wife and kids follow christian religion.
I have marriage certificate issued on May 2002, from Catholic Church, Indore MP, signed by Bishop and Church Authority. Also this is registered in their books and notarized by local notary.
We have applied in March 2016 to register our marriage in marriage court (Collector Office). The marriage officer has asked various questions like
Which religion I follow,
Why I have not converted,
Who has given rights to Bishop to register a marriage between Hindu and Christian without conversion etc.
Then he asked to get it written from church that they allow Hindu (non Christian) and christian marriage on their letter head. After lots of struggle we got that letter from Church and also signed by Bishop.
Still that Marriage officer Mr. Deepak Singh (ADM) was not convinced and said I am not comfortable to register this marriage, you do one thing apply for re-marriage under Hindu Marriage Act.
For which my lawyer and I all refused because in that case what is the legality of my 13 years old daughter and 10 year old son. Also since we are married and my wife is still an christian so cannot register in Hindu marriage act. Also my passport, her passport, kids passport, kids birth certificate all have my wife’s and my name as parents.
Since then we are following them and neither this officer is deciding to reject nor approve, now it is become 4 month since we appear in front of this officer along with witness. We are keep on following by visiting collector office but no response from their office.
We are not sure what should we do, at least some decision will come then we may go to court to appeal against it but this officer is not providing any decision.
Now my question is what can we do now and how long should we wait more ?
Rohit-Sit in front of him apply for marriage registration in written. Let he either reject or accept. If he want to reject, then let him give that in writing. He is not officer, a simple second division clerk who is appointed to serve you. So don’t give that much of importance to such labours. Take some hard class.
Hi Sir,
Me and my gf got married in a vinayaka temple in bangalore without the consent of of our parents and now we want our marriage to be registered.Will there be any problem in that?.We have the letter of the temple with 3 witness signature on it,who will be accompanying to the registrar office as well.So will there be any problem since the temple marriage is done without parents ?.Also will any notice or something from registrar office be sent to my or the girls house?
Deepak-There will not be any problem. You can register it. No, they will not send any papers to your home.

Hi Mr. Tonagatti,
Firstly thanks for the above information as these would definitely help majority of us who plan to take a step ahead in this manner with our partner. Now coming to my point, do we need to give a prior notice in the local registrar office before we go for the actual registration? Asking only because we live in different cities and planning to get married in December’2016. If required to give notice before I would ask my partner to come down here and do the formalities otherwise we’ll take this forward when we decide to move. Request you to have a clarity given on this aspect. Also would like to know if parents would have to be involved in the entire process or is there any way that they can get to know about it. I mean like a phone call to them from the registrar office or address verification or any sort of stuff. Would be waiting for your response. Thanks in advance!!! Cheers
Regards,
Ashish
Ashish-Yes, prior notice is required. Parents involvement not required.

Hello Basavaraj,
I am muslim and He is Hindu. My family agreed to our marriage and his parents are against this. We are planning to get register married. We both are from Hyderabad, but both are working in Bangalore since 2010. Where should we register for our marriage? Our permanent proofs are from Hyderabad.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nabeena
Nabeena-Better in Hyderabad.
Hi Basavraj
I was going through your post and found it quite useful.
My fiancé has met a lawyer who has advised us that he would send the intended marriage notice and after two days he will get the marriage registered. I’ve been reading around and find that the 30 day notice for intended marriage is a requirement, hence not able to understand how he is planning to get us married.
Please note there is no objection from any family and the family would be the witnesses in the court.
My question is –
Can a marriage be solemnized inside the 30 days marriage intended notice period or you need to wait for the 30 days to be over?
Your quick reply will be appreciated.
Many Thanks
Hetal.
Hetal-Anything can happen in Govt officials as these lawyers act as an agents to grab bribe. Rest is left with you to decide.
Hi Basavraj,
Thank you for the quick response.
The lawyer has not asked for any bribe as such from us, thou I agree that could be the case.
My concern lies on the point that if we get married inside 30 days of the notice period, hope it is considered valid. Also since me and my fiancé are from different states, it should not cause us a problem in future.
Regards
Hetal.
Hetal-No issues at all.
Me from Patna and my wife is from Pune we got married in Patna recently.Can i get my marriage certificate from Pune and procedure?
Prabhat-YES.
Hi Pravhat, I am also in same situation , could please guide me if you had already complected processes
Hi Sir,
3 years back I did a registered marriage and we filed for divorce with in a month. We got divorced also.
I am getting married in 2 months. My fiance knows there was someone in my life before. But I don’t feel comfortable in telling about this earlier register marriage as it was just a sign on a paper and I never lived with that man as a family.
Is it possible to register this marriage without any problem?? I mean I do not want to reveal about this earlier marriage now in the time of registering my marriage.
I am confused because. in tnreginet.net, if I give the details of the earlier place of registration and my name/dob the database shows me the result of the earlier marriage.
So, If in my registration now if I do not mention as divorcee, will that lead to any conflict at the time of registration now. Also marriage is now happening in a different place and the eariler registration was in a different district.
Please let me knwo your opinion.
Deepa-In my view it is better to disclose your second hubby about the past. It clears your mind and gives you peace.
Deepa-If you already got a divorce from your earlier marriage, then why you have to worry? You can go ahead and register with your new friend.
Hi Sir, thank you for ur prompt reply
I am just worried about the legal formalities. Is it a big problem to mention as a divorcee?
Sorry, there was a typo in my reply. Is it ok to not mention as a divorcee?
Deepa-Yes, what legal hurdles you face? In fact it will give you a peace of mind. But mention if it is necessary. Otherwise, it is not required.
Hello Sir, I really need your help here. Due to my family situation and because of my grant parents compulsury I had to marry my relative who was not completed 18 years at that time ( It was three years back). Now we have a child. But in order to get the visa and other medical beneficiary marriage cert is very much important. Is there anyway I can get the marriage certificate.
URD-You can register now under special marriage act.
Thanks for your reply Mr. Basavaraj, special marriage act mean ? could you please give me little more details like whom do I need to approach ? what is the procedure ?
URD-It is explained above. The process is same. You have to contact the sub-register office.
Thank you..
Hi Basavaraj,
My friend was married in 2013 under Special Marriage Act but both bride and groom were Hindus. But after the marriage he wasnt happy with his wife and they were living separately for an year. Recently he has fallen in love with a divorcy lady and he has married her in Temple and Registered that marriage at the same jurisdiction under Hindu Marriage Act. But He did not even applied for the divorce from the first marriage. I know it is illegal to remarry without getting divorce from the first marriage. However, the how can a person can get married twice without disclosing the previous marriage and how our marriage registration process is ? where there is no checking happens and anybody can hide truth.
His first marriage was under Special marriage Act and 2nd marriage is under Hindu marriage act but both registration is done within the same jurisdiction. So, just wanted to know why there is no process and verification takes place..
Also, please let me know if his 2nd marriage is known to his first wife, which kind of legal problems he can face? also, is it not the best thing now for him to get the divorce from his first wife without telling her about his 2nd marriage? What you say?
Arnab-Because the process is still manual. So they can’t dig deep and cross verify. I am not sure the effect on him or his two wives. But his first wife can go court and ask for punishment and compensation.
Hello I need one help , My name is sujith . Me and my girl friend both register for a marriage, notice period not yet completed

Sujith-Only boy or girl who willing to marry can submit the intent to marriage request. But no their parents.
Hi All,
I also got stuck with marriage certificate process in bangalore due to lack of proof of address as I am from Kerala and My Wife from Haryana.
Here is a simple process to get so.
Aadhar card is accepted as a Proof of address. You can update your Aadhar card address any where in India with your current residence address ( in my case Bangalore ) by simply sumitting the rental agreement. It takes 7 days to update the aadhar card address with the current address. It can be done online through post. However, I did it via aadhar card office in my locality and updated the mobile number as well as it was outdated.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Vijesh
Vijesh-Thanks for sharing this wonderful experience. Best of luck to both of you.

Hi Basu,
Thank you for this informative article!
I got married in 2014. I am from Navi Mumbai, My husband from Borivali and the marriage ceremony took place in Bhandup. Since the Pandit is from Mulund, my relative got the form from the Mulund office and got the Pandit’s signature on it. When we went to get the registration done with the filled form they asked us to get it registered from the place where either the bride or the bridegroom reside.
Our Marriage registration is pending ever since.
I wanted to confirm whether I now should be approaching the ward office or the Sub registrar office?
And I was told that I have to submit all the documents and once my file is cleared I will get an appointment.
Do you know how long this takes?
Anita-You can still register your marriage by approaching the register office of your limit. The process hardly takes more than 1 month.
Thank you for the reply Basu!
I called up at the ward office after your reply and they told me that the registration process is now conducted online only.
I informed her that I tried a couple of times online, but as soon as I reach the payment gateway, Rs.16 gets deducted but the next page does not open.
She says keep trying then! They mentioned that there is no manual process of getting it registered since Feb 2016.
Are you aware of any solution to this problem?
Anita-Finally they launched online but sadly act like typical Government portal. I too suggest the same, keep trying your luck 🙂

Hello Sir,
We have been married (socially) since 26th November 2016 but our married have not been registered yet. We both are hindu and from West Bengal. We both are working. Since we dont have marriage certificate at this point we have some queries as follows-
1. When we register our marriage in future, what will be the official (legal/actual) marriage date, the date on which we got married socially or the date when we register our marriage?
2. She have her voter id card with her native home address. Do I need to change her voter card & address?
3. For any investment/insurance related matter it is asked to write her present & permananet address (address with proof) which address to be written, her’s or mine? How do we change the address later?
3. At present can we buy a family floater health insurance as a couple/husband-wife?
4. Can she buy a term insurance as a married and put my name as husband & nominee. Is there any legal constriants in future?
Jitendra-1) Date of social marriage. 2) Better to change. 3) Let her show the records as usual and along with that if she submit the marriage certificate, then all names will be with you attached. 4) Yes, she can buy it. There is no issues in that.

Hi Sir,
Me (Christian)and my Would be(Hindu) are planning to get registered under special marriage act on the day of our engagement as he is travelling abroad in April.
Planning to get married in hindu style during the month of Sep without registration
Will the registration be valid if wedding is happening in Sep after the registration in April.
Jujy-Your legality of marriage with registration is enough. Whether you marry according to your custom in September or not, is not change your marriage status. Don’t worry on this and go ahead.
Dear Sir, I got married in 2008 but didn’t got registered our marriage… Now we want to register but I want to know if we can register in that jurisdiction where we are currently residing or it has to be one from where I or my husband belong or where our marriage took place… and do we have to apply under special marriage act when we are applying after so long….
Thanks in advance
Meenu-You can register where you currently reside.
sir i am 22yrs and my girl friend is 19yrs old..we have registered our marriage this year..but we have not done any formal marriage as she still lives with her family..but my problem is that i have filled up marital status in all of my job related forms as unmarried..so when i join my job and then after few months if i marries with her formally then can i again apply for marriage regsitration to show that recent marriage certfcate to my working company???
And since i have registered my marriage before actual marriage so filling up my my marital status as unmarried in job related forms is legaly correct or not??
Sunny-Why you are filling your status as unmarried? The old and first registration is valid one.
Sir since we have registered our marriage by hiding it from our families,thats why i cant show my marital status as married as it will create a lot of problem if my family comes to know about it by any means through job application forms..
I have the main confusion about the matter that when i will marry her in the conventional way and then i will need to report my marriage in my working company and then i have to present my marriage certificate in front of my company,and since my marriage certificate will have date of year 2015,then will the company show any objection since i have previosly shown my marital status as unmarried in year 2015???
And another question is that i want to make passport as unmarried now,but at the end of year 2016 i will make the passport of both of us as married then the marriage certficate showing the date of year 2015 will create any problem or not??as my current passport will be as unmarried so at the time of making the passport of both of us,the date of marriage certificate will create any problem or not???
Please sir..answer this problem..
Sunny-Whether your marriage is a BIG issue to your employer? No need to worry. You just inform them the situation. That’s it.
Dear sir,

Hi Sir,
I have read almost all your comments and suggestions from April 2014, And finally found you much convincing to discuss this, please help me out respected Sir.
I have Completed my marriage registration on 28 Jan 2016 this yr, My wife is still in her parents home and her family is totally against, when we disclosed this to them on 30th January 2016. Her parents are trying to marry her somewhere else.
We both are working, I am an Architect by profession, and she is a teacher by profession.
I belong to a middle class family, and she belongs to a higher/elite class you can say.
Also there were no caste barriers(We both belong to same caste not related to each other family by relation)
We both were in love for 5 years till date. Her family decided to marry her this year they are searching grooms so, We decided to do marriage registration.
We did it by usual 30 day process before Marriage Registrar, under section 11 and got the certificate from there in January.
This week we made these things clear to her family that we have married and they don’t need to search grooms.
So I wanted her to take away with me, but they are showing power of money and approach that, they don’t agree on this and will not allow her to go with me, and re-marry her with person of their own choice.
Simply you can say, they are not liking my status (main issue)
And threatening me and my family to get away from this.
Kindly Suggest me some remedy please.
Thanks!!
Rocky-Register a policy complaint. You have legal ways but they don’t. So take charge of it legally.

Hi Sir
Me and my husband got married a year and half ago. We are both different religion and we did not convert. But we did have both religious ceremonies. We went and registered our marriage same day at local registrears office and they gave us marriage certificate. Only now we came to know it was under hindu act. But since i didnt convert, will this certificate be invalid? can my spouse present the hindu act certificate and register it under special act? I am currently travelling on a project but need to get this done quickly. Can you please advice us
Aisha-I think the registration is valid.
Sir,
I am from Bihar. My wife is from CG. We were married in Patna while I was working there. We stayed there from 1 year and moved to Bangalore. Now I need a marriage certificate. I enquired in Patna, they demanded huge bribe of about Rs 20000, and tried various other ways of harassing. Else they asked me to submit the document now and come after 30-90 days period for certificate IN PERSON. This is not possible as I stay pretty far here in Bangalore and cant afford long leave.
1. My bride does not require to change name
2. I have a Karnataka Driving License with address where I reside currently.
3. I have a valid Police Verification. In the valid Police Address Verification Document (as required in job formalities) issued from Office of Commissioner, the police has mentioned that I am residing in this place for about 3 years (due to their typo error, but to my advantage). Actually its one year only in Bangalore and 2 years in Patna.
4. I have my marriage invitation card, photographs, but no certificate from priest. The actual witness also are my friends residing in Bangalore.
Hence according to Police verification document, I am residing in Bangalore since 2013, I got married in Patna in 2014.
With the given set of documents and conditions, can I get my marriage registered in Bangalore local Sub Registrar Office?
Amit-Yes, under special marriage act.
Thank you Sir.
dear sir

CAN I GET MARRIAGE AGAIN WITHOUT GETTING DIVORCED????
PLS REPLY
Swarup-Marrying without having a divorce from first marriage is illegal.
Hi. I have a query that needs clarification please. in Dec 2015, I had filed a notice under the special marriage act. My partner and I intended to get registered married in Jan 2016(after the 30 day notice period). However, now there has been a change of plans.We have finally decided to have an actual marriage ceremony in April(the big fat Indian wedding)
Therefore, Can someone please tell me what I should do? Should I cancel this notice period asap? Does it matter?
Will I have any legal issues when we marry in April – because of this notice ?
Someone please advice in detail.
Thanks

I paid Rs.1000 in Coimbatore Periyanayakanpalayam sub registrar office for marriage registration. Since they asked that amount as fees . But now only came to know that is BRIBE amount and only Rs.20 is actual fees 🙁 Without knowing i gave BRIBE myself even though i submitted all the documents correctly. When i realized that they didn’t give fees receipt , i asked why they are not giving receipt. i got answer like “No receipt” will be given for the actual amount given in this office. As i read in news papers , i thought it is compulsory to register the marriage. But if they get this much amount who will come & register ? Feeling very ashamed of myself to be in this situation of giving my own money without knowing
Saratha-You have to cross check the reality by asking the receipt fo the same (wherever you go). But sad part is, there are such officials and agents who harp on unknown.
greetings Sir,

sir, my brother 19, is deeply in love with his classmate who is also 19. her parents are pushing her to marry another man. She wants to live with my brother at any cost. Since my brother is not 21, we know they can’t marry right now. To avoid any future forceful marriage proposals to the girl until she’s 21, what all can be done from her side??
I mean her parents are so rude and cruel that they don’t even care the emotions of their daughter.
Can you guide us on this?

Hello Sir,
I got married 3 years back and we both belong to different states. We couldn’t register our marriage as I had to travel abroad immediately after my marriage.

I have Marriage hall certificate which is outside of Bangalore, Could you please suggest, How can I get my marriage registered in Bangalore.

Hi Sir,
I was cheated by a girl in the name of fake matrimony profile. I didn’t investigate whether the details of the girl is genuine are not. But I was trapped in the girls hand. The girl said she want to marry only in temple without her parents existence in the temple. And I blindly believed that girl and I decided to get married in the temple. The girl arranged few photographers and one temple priest there was no other person as witness during my marriage. After I got married within the next day I realized that the girl provided all fake information in the matrimony profile. Her plan was to get marry with a guy who is working and well settled. So I was trapped in her plan. I left that girl the next day after marriage. Now she went to police station and submitted all the photos that were taken during our marriage. In all the photos only myself and the girl were visible there is no temple priest or other person in all the photos. The police were asking me that I got married with that girl and they have the photos as proof. As per my belief is that the marriage will be declared as legal respective to Hindu Marriage only when both bride and groom sign on the registration papers with all witnesses.
So my question to you Sir, that whether my marriage is legal or not. Because I and the girl didn’t sign any papers during marriage its only photos we took in the temple. Some photos included as myself tying the mangalsutra to girl. Apart from photos there is nothing that proves my marriage as legal. So could you tell me whether this marriage is legal.
Sarvan-It is bit complicated and I don’t want to suggest any wrong information. Hence, suggest you to go with lawyer and discuss the matter.
Thanks very much for rendering a great help and advice to the people those who are in need. Sir, I have certain doubts about the legality of the marriage registration of my Niece. The Girl and the boy both are Christians. She was asked by the boy’s family to do a register marriage without the consent of her parents in the year of 2013 that too outside the jurisdiction of (both the Bride & Groom) their residential locations. They got a certificate after 3 weeks by spending Rs.30,000/= which was registered under Tamil Nadu Marriage Registration Act 2009. She told me that She did not sign any form or documents except inserting only one signature in a register at 4pm on that day in the sub registrar office . That why I have serious doubt about the signature of bride in the application form which had to be submitted along with other documents viz residential proof.age proof etc . As she also said to me that without producing /providing any proof of solemnisation of marriage before the registration how the sub registrar had accepted the application forms . Please suggest me and throw some light about the validity of the marriage under the above said act and also why it was not done as per the Special Marriage act as the bride and groom belong to Christian faith . Thanking you in anticipation sir ,
JohnLeo
John-I feel it is the bribery that worked fully. If you have any valid proof then complain again register officer.
Please let me know the christian marriage registration process.Above it is mentioned for Hindu and Parsi ,Can someone provide the proceedure for christian marriage registration in Sub-Registrar office and the list of documents to carry?
Thanks
Vinod-They can register under special marraige act.

Hello sir,
My name is yuvraj.one my friend is get register marriage but she is not mentaly ok so is it legal marriage and we do for cancle the registration of its marriage…please help me…
Yuvraj-How you judged that she is mentally not OK?
Sir,
Thanks for the article, it gives us a glimpse of what and how a registration marriage is done. I have a doubt which I am putting it down.
Due to some reasons my sister will have to marry a person whom she likes (they both love each other and both the families disagree for that) by one of the procedures mentioned above but the time is limited (about 25 days) as the bridegroom will have to go to the U.S.
From the article I can see that the Hindu act marriage is the best (as both are Hindus from Telangana state) but you also mentioned that a wedding card is also a necessity which means they have to get married first and then should approach the Registrar? (I am assumed that once they undergo the procedure under Hindu act, the marriage is also done along with the issuing certificate)
could you please explain it/suggest, what is the best thing to do in this scenario considering the time constrain.
thanks
krishna
Krishna-In my view, let them go for special marriage act. Yes, they have to marry and register it under Hindu Act.
thanks for the reply sir..
Considering they don’t have 30 days time (They have not yet registered in any SROs yet) and considering they are at level 0 now. Is it possible to go with Special marriage act? and why not Hindu act?
All they want is a certificate of marriage in a limited time possible from where they are now.
would be grateful if you can reply ASAP..
thanks for the prompt reply..
Krishna-Nothing can be processed for their urgency by floating rules at air. You can confirm my views by visiting the local register office.
thanks sir…will do the same..

We made an application for civil marriage under special marriage act last year however due to some personal issues we did not get married on the given date.We wish to marry now is that registration valid? Or do we make a fresh application?
Marshneel-Check the same with register office. I don’t think it is valid.
Due to some family problem I did a registry marriage on 2012 under special marriage act without my parents consent. Now my parents are ready to settle my marriage with the same guy. I do not want to disclose my previous marriage to my parents as they will be highly upset. Can I do the registration again without revealing my first one? is there any way?
Charity-If you register once again then the this marriage is illegal and not considered as valid. Why you want to re-register it?

I saw a website named, http://www.registermarriage.in, which is a chennai based team who do register marriages within a day. When i enquired them they said,even an out of state couple can do register marriage without a proof showing they are luving in chennai. They just need to have their id card as well as proof of native residence. Is it legal ? will i be cheated upon if i trust them?
Rajesh-Take their service at your own RISK.
Dear sir,
Hope you are doing great!
I luckily came to know your article while searching help on web.
I am Shezaan 28 years working in Dubai. My life (GF ) is 25 now staying in delhi. I belong to MP. She is Hindu. The biggest problem is my parents will never accept and I don’t imagine even a single second without my girl. Want to do anything, could you please suggest me how to marry with her, I read abt special marriage act 1954 but what is the security after that, can Court accet us in intercast marriage? Can they inform Hindu organization abt it? Now a days too much drama is being happened in India. We have planned to go Dubai after marriage. Can I make her passport easily with marriage certificate? Is there not any issue to go Dubai with Hindu Muslim marriage ?
Please sir help me out I’m in dilemma, my life is incomplete without her plzz suggest me.
If possible plzz email me I don’t know when I will be able to get your answer here
Shezaan-Security of you both is not the responsibility of marriage registration office. If you have such concern then take the police help. Yes, if it is registered marriage then land of law accepts it as legal marriage. No Govt organization will have rights to inform to any caste based organization. Yes, you can create her passport easily. Regarding travelling with Hindu Muslim couple travelling to Dubai is not an issue.

2. If worst case, i have to submit on 15th august, can i travel after that on 17th lets say… and get the marrigae registration on 15th september? Or do i have to stay in the country for 30 days after submission too?
Thanks
Sanjay-In your case, your fiancee not belong to India. Hence, to clear all doubts, I suggest to consult register office.
thank u so much for your rply sir..if i dont want the notice to be put up near my residence whose office is in my jurisdiction then i can go to any register office i want in bangalore because they wont send the notice to put on in the notice board of the office in my jurisdiction right?? 🙂
Anonymous-If you register in Bangalore (which may be different from your native), then they will show in Bangalore office but not in native.
Dear, i have registered for marriage in special act and currently in the 30 days notice..
Here is the process in bangalore
You have to register in the jurisdiction where you are currently residing.
Your duration of stay in this address has to be more than 3 yrs.
And you both should have the address proof of the local address..
If your address is of bangalore and for more than 3 yrs then the notice will be displayed in bangalore Sub Registrar office for 30 days, no letter goes to your permanent address..
If either of you dont have a local address proof for more than 3 yrs then, bangalore sub registrar will ask for your permanent address and the sub registrars office address in which your permanent address falls under. A letter of notice is sent to that Sub Registrar office to be displayed there for 30 days..
One point to be noted, bangalore sub registrar office do not accept rental agreement as address proof.
I understand it is very critical step as i have taken the same step….write to me on tp.sultan@live.com if you have any questions
Anonymus-Thanks for sharing your practical experience 🙂

Thank you so much for your immediate reply sir and can you plzz confirm whether the photos will be shown in notice or not and tell me plz because only after confirming this i can go do the marriage without any fear..
Suman-I don’t think photos will be shown on notice board. However, you can cross check once again with officials.
good evening sir.
I am 20year old and my bf 21 year old this year. due to some problems we decided to marry without the knowledge of our parents..but we are scared we have few questions that we want to know.1.we both have completed the marriage age limit but still we look small so do the officer send any notice to home or enquire us seriously or call up our parents. 2. its about the notice..for eg.if we are staying in bangalore in r t nagar and if we go to the register office in kr puram and give the notice over there then will they put up the notice only at their office notice board or they will put up the notice even at the office at r t nagar which comes under our jurisdiction and we both stay at the same place same street…what can we do to avoid our relatives or parents from seeing the notice please answer.
Unknown-I already replied to your comment which you posted as “anonymous”.

Suman-I am not sure or there is any specific rule which states about the notice board. Hence, it is purely left with office location. I think they not show the photos.
thank u for your reply sir but what my question is..is there any registrar office where we can complete all the procedure in just 1 day or 2 instead of giving notice and waitng for objections..kindly waiting for your reply

Plzzzz
Sayali-There is no such rule that your father can give APPLICATION to police that if you get married then police must inform to him. I think they are either just making you scare or it is the handy work of police and your father. Also, if you both get married then how can police will come to know about your marriage?

I did mrriage on 20th May with my girlfriend in temple and have the receipt of it,then we did notary marraige on 27th May and also Registered our marraige on 27th in the court. In the meanwhile the girls parents knowing this did forcefull marriage of her on 5th June by threatening her to kill me and taking her signature in a blank paper. Then after 30 days of notice period was over we both present on the court on 30th June and married and took marriage certificate. Now in this case whos marriage is decalred void and illegal as per law. Secondly if our marriage is considered as first marriage then how she would cancel her forcefull marriage ,,does she need to file divorce or not. if yes then under which section. if now then what legal steps to be carried out for decalring her forcefull marriage as void.
Prasanna-As per me it is your’s marriage. However, I am not expert beyond this registration process to handle the legality of marriage. Hence, request you consult a lawyer on this matter.
is it possible to register a marriage when only one bridegroom is present? One of my friend’s got married in a temple and they have certificate from that temple. They were never lived together. Later they got some differences and she did not want to tell her parents about this marriage. But that marriage was registered without her notice. She did not go to register office. How is that possible? Can someone be managed to get that registered? We also heard that finger prints system is started reg marriages in AP. Since when this finger prints system is started?
How-It is impossible to register without the presence of a couple.
It was done!! That’s what we are unable to understand. Only thing left with us to prove that sign is forged. And we also heard that there is finger print system introduced recently. Any idea when it was introduced?
How-It is cheating done by few officials and the husband side. You just prove that she is not present on that particular day in sub-register office or signature as not of her. I am not aware about finger print system.
okay.. Thanks a lot for prompt response 🙂
Hello,
My husband and I work in US. We came to India and got ritually married 1.5 yrs ago and went back to the US after 2 weeks of marriage. We dd not register our marriage but have all the supporting documents available.
I am visiting India this November, but my husband will not be visiting until October 2016. What are the steps to get our marriage registered? I think the Indian Embassy here cannot register a marriage that took place in India. So we will need to complete FORM A. But without him and I being present in the registrar’s office at the same time, what can we do to register our marriage. Please let me know.
Thanks,
Janaki
To add: We do not meet this clause “Both husband and wife should have lived more than 30 days within the jurisdiction of marriage officer.”
Please help.
Thanks,
Janaki
Janaki-You both have to be present to register. Yes, that residential condition must be satisfied then only you be eligible for registration.
Hi Sir,
I sincerely thank you for taking out time to answer people like me who wish to remain anonymous and seek assistance.
I am a Sikh Man who wishes to marry a Muslim Girl (We are both Major in age). We do not intend to change religion and therefore wish to marry under the Special marriage Act.
I live in Delhi. Kindly guide if in a general case
1: Are any notices sent to my home address ( I was told that no notices are sent in Delhi region for intending a marriage under Special Marriage Act)
2: Is it possible to avoid the waiting period of 30 days for getting married?
3: What is the total time taken to obtain marriage certificate from the date of application of marriage to obtaining certificate. (Is it Applying>> Waiting period of 30 days>> marrying in court>> then applying for marriage certificate>> 30 days waiting period>> then certificate = TOTAL more than 60 DAYS?
Kindly guide
Thanks
Confused-1) No, 2) No and 3) They issue the certificate on the same day of marriage.

Hi Basavaraj,
I am K.Kotteshwaran from Chennai (TamilNadu). I got married in my hometown Dharmapuri (TamilNadu) before 4 years, Now I am residing in Chennai. My doubt is still I haven’t register my marriage whether now can I register my marriage since it has been over 4 years. Becoz I am in need of marriage certificate.
Kotteshwaran-You can still register.
Dear basavaraj
I appreciate your advise very much. How far register marriage in front of a registrar is accepted in Christianity before doing a proper Christian marriage in church. Since visa is delayed for dependent, is it possible to do register marriage when I come to India and have that certificate to process visa and later when I do a proper Christian marriage in church, will the church accepts it?
Richard-Marriage you register with sub-register office is more valid and a real legal document than christian marriage certificate.
Hi Basavaraj
Thank you for your quick reply. yes, i am much aware that marriage certificate from registrar is legal and valid. But in christian marriage, after we do marriage in our church, using the church registrar, the appointed church official wil again take that to do registration in government registrar office. So i am worried if i do a registration marriage in 2 weeks and do a church marriage in 6 months, whether it may result in two marriage dates?
Richard-In that case you just inform them that due to paucity of time you already registered the marriage in sub-register office.
Hi …I m a muslin boy planning to marry a hindu girl through arya samaj.I knw abt the process of Shuddhi.The marriage certificate which will be provided by arya samaj will contain both my names(original and converted one) as per arya samaj representative.Also I wanted to register my marriage in court of law.So can u please let me know that which name they will be mentioning in their marriage certificate? if I wanted to go with my original name.

As it was a love marriage, we got married in a Temple at Delhi (2011). Our friends and colleagues were the sole witness of the marriage. We have our married photos and videos. In the temple, we have received only a receipt for the annadanam we made in temple. We have tried to register our marriage, but couldn’t able to do it as we live in Noida and don’t have residential proof for Delhi. Now we are in Pune and trying to register our marriage at our hometown in Tamil Nadu under my parents approval. We have maintained each other as Nominee in most of our documents. Please suggest. What could be the possible scenarios?
Can we register the marriage day as the same day of our marriage? Incase, if we get any problem with that, can we register newly? If doing completely in a new date, what are the issues that we will face in the future?
Priya-You can still register as the same day of your marriage.

We require Marriage Certificate for applying for green card. We got married in 1962 according to Hindu Custom & rites. We are now 77 & 73 years respectively. We do not recollect that it was registered then. We do not have invitation card with us now. None of the parents of both of us are alive now. We have our brothers & sisters who had witnessed the marriage.We have only few photos which do not indicate date. Our son was born one year later. His birth certificate do indicate our names as parents. My queries are: (1) Can a registration be done even if Invitation card or no other document for date is not available?(2). If such Marriage Certificate valid? I would appreciate your valuable advice.

Sir,
.I got married 4 Years back. I was from Mumbai and my husband from Chennai. We both are Christians. We got married in a church in Mumbai. This month when I went to Mumbai I tried to register my marriage in Mumbai. They said both bride and groom should have same address as proof, and I can register my marriage only in Chennai under special marriage act . Very confused. What is the exact procedure for registration?? I have got all documents, marriage certificate issued by the church..
Jeevan-How come before marriage bridge and groom will have same address proof? Strange logic. I think you still register under special marriage act. If they not budge then take help of your lawyer.

Sir,
My parents got married in 1965, in a church in Hubli. My father was a Govt Pensioner, while in service he had recorded the name of my mother in his service document as his wife on the basis of the said certificate of the church.
On the death of my father, my mother has been denied pension on the grounds that they need sufficient legal proof of marriage as the said church certificate is not legal.
However, the authorities now insist that I produce a Certificate from the Registrar of Marriage in support of the said certificate.
Can you please guide me with the address of the Registrar of Marriage in Hubli
Joseph-Critical situation. But I don’t the Hubli office address. You can search in internet or take the help of your freinds or relatives.

Sir,
Our marriage took place at a kalyana mandapam at thondamuthur near coimbatore as per Hindu marriage in 1992. But not registered. Now how to register the marriage already taken place? please guide.
Rajagopalan-You can still register by visiting register office. Don’t worry.
1. Based on google, I saw that all services (property, marriage etc) of sub-registrar office can be done in any sub-registrar office in Bangalore. I know of people doing it for property. Is it same for solemnising marriage under Special Marriage Act too?
2. Secondly, for the documents (divorce decree, address proof, id proof etc), do we need to submit notarized copies? Or just normal self-attested copies are fine?
Rahul- 1) True. 2) It depends on the requirement of needy.

Hi,
My husband(a Hindu) and I (a Muslim) were married under the Tamil Nadu Registration of marriages act, 2009 on Feb 2014. But I have read many articles recently that say our marriage is illegal as we are of different religions. Is this true? How do we rectify it? Pls advice!
Sia M-Once it is registered under the law of land then how can it be illegal? Don’t worry and enjoy your married life 🙂 Best of luck !!!
Hello Sir
We are a Muslim couple married 10 years back. I was from Bangalore and She was from Visakhapatnam but our marriage was done in Vellore(Tamilnadu). Marriage was entered in the mosque and we have that document.
Last month we went to Vellore Registration office with all documents to register. But they told me any one of us should have Vellore address proof document. Otherwise it is not possible.
But we both are not from vellore and we don’t have any documents to show vellore address.
Now we don’t know where to go and how to get Marriage certificate. Pleaase advise if there any way. Thanks
Ussainar-Why can’t you try either in Bangalore or Visakhaptnam? Because I think Vellore official are on right path.
i am from Thane district but my marriage done in UP.I want to make my Marriage certificate.In which act my marriage will get registered we both are hindu.Agent told me that your case will be in special marriage act as i did marriage in UP.

Brijendra-All is explained above. Please read it once again.
today i went to Thane office they ask me to register marriage under special marriage act because youi done your marriage outside thane i.e. U.P.Any hindu can register their marriage under special marriage act.If you want hindu marriage act certificate then go to U.P.Are they correct? what would be impact on visa processing if i go with Special marriage act? pls reply
Brijendra-What is prompting you to not to register under special marriage act? It will not have any impact on your visa processing.
So it will not affect anyways by registering special marriage act.thanks

Hi Sir, I need your valuable Advice on this..
My friend & his Fiancé are from Tamilnadu and currently both are settled & working in Bangalore. Their wedding took place in a temple in Bangalore and they have the certification from the temple authorities, now they would like to apply for their Marriage certificate in Bangalore.
1- Since they are from Tamilnadu, can they still apply for Marriage Registration in Bangalore. (Wedding took place in Bangalore)
2- What Documents they should provide since they are not from Karnataka.
Your instant response to this is highly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.
Imran-Yes they can still register in Bangalore. For documents requirement, I suggest you to directly visit register office.
Thank you so much. You are awesome!! God Bless!!
what will be cost to get marriage certificate ,as agent are asking 8500 Rs .plz provide online registration link in Punjab.
Priyam Johri-Why you are opting agent? Why can’t go directly to register office? I don’t think even in Punjab it costs more than Rs.200.
Hi Basu,
I found your website today, while researching on the Term Insurance and I have no words to appreciate you….this is simply an awesome website with loads of useful information. Hats off to you 🙂 Please continue your service of sharing useful information (I have bookmarked your website)
Also I see you reply to each an every question asked, you have tremendous patience, cool man 🙂
Hey i have one question on the marriage certificate, I got married last year at Singaperumal Temple, Srirangam and got the Marriage certificate from Government of Tamilnadu (which says “Register of Marriages maintained under the Tamil Nadu Registration of Marriages Act, 2009). I am not sure if this certificate is as per Hindu Marriage Act. Should I register again as per Hindu Marriage Act or is this Certificate good enough. Can you help me?
Suresh Mani
Suresh-Not required, the existing certificate is enough.
Thanks for confirming Basu
I am a Roman catholic christian and my marriage took place in 2004 at my native village in the local church. Entries were made immediately after marriage in the register maintained by the Church with witnesses. How can I get my marriage certificate now?
Felix-Get the certificate from church and produce the same in registration office along with above mentioned mandatory documents.
Mr, Basu
As my friend married nearly 12 years back & if he want to apply for marriage certificate for future then, can he apply for this? & he belongs to AP. Do you provide me the link to download the application form & is there any document proof required to submit along with as (Ex. Ration card).
Pls reply
Raj-He can still register. Let him visit to nearest sub-register office for registration they will provide the form. I think Andhra Govt this link will give you more information on the same.

Thanks alot
I wish for your success and happiness.
A very useful article.
As experiences of the readers prove one is taken for ride is one is not aware
Kirti-Thanks for your comment 🙂
🙂 Saahebre.. I registered just a week back itself in Rajajinagar Industrial Town Sub-registrar office. But fees was around Rs.135 and they provided receipt too. But bad luck is that typist had taken 100 and Verifier had taken 100 from me. NO RECEIPT for this. :). Only good thing here was, that Sub-Registrar Officer was very active since she was newly appointed young lady. :). Starting Josh?… No comments please…
Kumar-Thanks for sharing your experience. But in reality still Karnataka Govt Register Office claiming the same fee of what I said above.
Very good and useful info’ Basu. I know people using notarised affidavit ‘Annexure-D’, to substitute for the marriage cert and it costs just Rs 150. But the cert from SRO is the best option, no doubt.
Teja-Exactly 🙂
Sir,
I would like to add few points
1. Marriage invitation needs to be submitted so that date and place of marriage can be confirmed by the officer.
2. One can only visit the sub registrar office which has the jurisdiction of the area of bridegroom’s residence or bride’s residence or the place of marriage ( marriage hall) falls under that particular sub registrar jurisdiction.
Ps- I had to pay 650 Rs as fees ( without receipt) for the registration in bangalore, otherwise they would made me visit many times to office saying they are busy with some other work and come later.
Prabhat-Thanks for adding your valuable knowledge. Yes I know that no Govt service nowadays available at Rs.20 or less, especially with revenue department.
Hi Basu,
Thanks for this valuable information, I’m surprised to see the registration fee because when i contacted a layer for the same he asked 5000 as a fee of marriage certificate. 🙂
Now, I’m aware and will not allow them to rob me 🙂

Deepak-Your case proves that corruption is not only with bureaucrats or politicians but in the blood of all Indians. Anyhow thanks for sharing your experience and hope you spread this among your known.
