Introduction • Marriage registration is a legal procedure that validates a marriage under Indian law, providing couples with an official document certifying their union. In Delhi, the registration process is governed by two primary acts: The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, for Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Sikhs, and The Special Marriage Act, 1954, for interfaith and other non-Hindu marriages. Here is the overview of a Marriage Registration in Delhi.
Eligibility Criteria • Before registering a marriage in Delhi via Court Marriage, the couple must meet the following conditions: • Age: The groom must be at least 21 years old, and the bride must be at least 18 years old. • Consent: Both individuals must voluntarily agree to the marriage without coercion. • Relationship: The couple should not fall within the prohibited degree of relationships unless permitted under personal laws. • Pre-existing Marriages: Neither party should have a living spouse at the time of the marriage.
Documents Required • The following documents are necessary for Marriage Registration in Delhi: • Proof of Age: Birth certificates, school-leaving certificates, or passports. • Identity Proof: Aadhaar card, PAN card, passport, or voter ID. • Address Proof: Utility bills, Aadhaar card, or passport showing residence in Delhi. • Marriage Invitation Card: If available, for additional verification. • Photographs: Passport-sized photographs of both spouses (2-4 copies). • Marriage Photograph: A photograph of the couple from their wedding ceremony. • Witness Documents: Identity proofs and passport-sized photographs of three witnesses. • Affidavit: A joint affidavit from the couple declaring the date and place of marriage, marital status, and nationality.
Issuance of Certificate: • Once the verification is complete, the SDM issues the marriage certificate. • The certificate is either handed over on the same day (for Hindu marriages) or after the notice period (for marriages under the Special Marriage Act). • Benefits of Marriage Registration • Legal Proof: A marriage certificate serves as legal evidence of the union. • Ease in Documentation: It simplifies the process of applying for joint accounts, visas, or insurance policies. • Safeguard Against Fraud: It prevents misuse or fraudulent claims about marital status.
