Court marriage registration happens before or at the time of marriage under the Special Marriage Act. Post-marriage registration usually applies to Hindu or religious ceremonies, and it's recorded afterward. Both are legally valid, but court marriage offers more legal clarity and is better documented. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
