Dear Client, No. If both the bride and groom are adults and are marrying of their own free will, the presence of their parents is generally not mandatory for an Arya Samaj marriage. If you later register the marriage under the applicable law, you must comply with the required documents and witness requirements. Hope this helps. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any further queries or need assistance.

Under the Hindu Marriage Act, the presence of the bride's or groom's parents is generally not mandatory if both parties are legally eligible to marry and are marrying of their own free will. However, you must comply with the legal requirements, documentation, and witness requirements applicable to the marriage and its registration.
