A notarized marriage agreement is not legally valid as a marriage certificate. However, if the girl is facing threats or coercion, she can still seek police protection by filing a complaint under relevant BNS sections. For full marital rights, couples must register their marriage under the proper marriage law. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
