In Uttar Pradesh, if both individuals are adults and marrying with free consent, parents’ signatures are generally not legally mandatory for court marriage. Police verification may happen in some cases as part of address or identity verification depending on local practice, but marriage cannot legally be denied only because parents do not agree. Proper age proof, identity proof, photographs, and witnesses are usually required. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
