What can be the alternative document of birth certificate in marriage registration?

If a bride’s birth certificate or 10th-grade certificate is missing, can a notarised age declaration affidavit be legally accepted as proof for marriage registration in Odisha? Will the Sub-Registrar or Arya Samaj accept a notarised affidavit in place of the original certificate?

If the bride’s birth or 10th certificate is missing; you can give a notarized affidavit stating her age along with an ID proof like Aadhaar or PAN. The Sub-Registrar or Arya Samaj may accept it temporarily, but it is better to get an official birth certificate from the Nagar Nigam or local municipal office to avoid legal issues during registration.
