How can I legally register my marriage?
How can I urgently register my marriage under the law?
Under the Hindu Marriage Act (HMA), the marriage is first solemnized according to the customary rites and ceremonies of the parties. Registration is voluntary or compulsory after the ceremony, and the entry in the Hindu Marriage Register serves as proof of the marriage. In contrast, the Special Marriage Act (SMA) facilitates a contractual civil marriage. This process requires the parties to submit a Notice of Intended Marriage to the Marriage Officer, which is followed by a 30-day objection period. If no valid objections are raised, the marriage is solemnized before the Marriage Officer and witnesses, and the resulting certificate is considered conclusive proof of the union. Both Acts share common requirements regarding minimum age, mental capacity, and monogamy.
If you want urgent marriage registration, both husband and wife must visit the Marriage Registrar’s office with all required documents like Aadhaar, ID proof, photos, and marriage proof. In some states, a Tatkal service is available, which allows faster registration. It’s best to contact the local registrar office for exact timelines.
