Kya marriage registration zaroori hai? Main kaise karaun?

Simple answer

Haan, kai states mein yeh compulsory hai, aur Supreme Court ne sabhi shaadiyon ke registration ka direction diya hai. Lekin sirf registration na hone se sahi tarike se hui shaadi invalid nahi hoti. ID, age proof, photos aur gawahon ke saath Marriage Registrar office mein ya online register karao.

Real-life examples

Anil aur Rekha ki shaadi mandir mein Hindu reeti se hui. Ek mahine baad woh wedding card, photos, age proofs aur gawahon ke saath Sub-Registrar ke paas jaakar marriage certificate lete hain. Rekha ko yeh passport aur visa ke liye chahiye.

Shabnam ka husband maintenance na dene ke liye shaadi se hi mukar jaata hai. Uska nikahnama aur registration certificate shaadi hone ka strong proof hain.

Ravi aur Meena ki shaadi 2018 mein hui, par registration nahi karaya. Unki shaadi phir bhi valid hai. Woh ab bhi register kara sakte hain; kai states extra fees ke saath late registration allow karte hain.

Aapko kya karna chahiye?

  1. 1Sahi office pata karo: jahan shaadi hui ya jahan aap mein se koi rehta hai, wahan ka Marriage Registrar ya Sub-Registrar. Kai states mein pehle online apply hota hai.
  2. 2Age proof (birth certificate, 10th certificate ya passport), address proof, passport photos, wedding card ya photo, aur ID ke saath gawah le jao.
  3. 3Agar aap mein se kisi ki pehle shaadi hui thi, toh divorce decree ya pehle spouse ka death certificate saath rakho.
  4. 4Di gayi date par gawahon ke saath dono jao, register par sign karo aur marriage certificate lo.
  5. 5Copies sambhaal ke rakho. Passport, visa, bank, insurance aur property ke kaam mein certificate lagega.

Exceptions aur zaroori baatein

  • Special Marriage Act wali shaadi usi time register ho jaati hai; Marriage Officer certificate deta hai, isliye alag registration ki zaroorat nahi.
  • Registration kisi illegal shaadi ko valid nahi bana sakta, jaise aisi doosri shaadi jiski aapka law ijaazat nahi deta (Hinduon mein, pehle spouse ke zinda rehte).
  • Church mein hui shaadiyan aur Parsi shaadiyan apne marriage laws ke under record hoti hain, jinke apne register aur certificate hote hain.
