What is the legal process and cost of court marriage?
What is the legal process and cost for court marriage? Is a notarized marriage valid or not?
A court marriage under the Special Marriage Act requires giving a 30-day notice to the Marriage Registrar, submitting required documents (ID proofs, age proofs, residence proofs, etc.), and paying fees that typically range from Rs. 500-2000 depending on the state (though additional costs like stamp papers may apply). A notarized marriage certificate alone is not legally valid in India - only marriages registered under the Hindu Marriage Act, Special Marriage Act, or respective personal laws are legally recognized.
Sir, notarized marriage is not legally recognized in India but if both the partners are of legal age to get married with proper consent then you may perform court marriage under an appropriate act by visiting marriage registrar office. The required documents are proof of age and residence, passport sized photographs and an affidavit. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with the smooth procedure of court marriage. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
