Can I register my marriage again?

I did a registered marriage in Chennai last year without my parents’ knowledge because they didn’t accept my husband. Now they have accepted my relationship, and they want to register my marriage again in my hometown, Ramnad. I don’t want to reveal the truth because they have health issues. During the registration process, will the registrar find out that we are already married?

Legally, marriage can be registered only once. If you have already registered your marriage in Chennai, it cannot be registered again in Ramnad. Trying to register again without disclosing the truth is an offense. Instead, you can apply for a certified copy of your existing marriage certificate and show it to your parents. Lying to the registrar can cause legal issues. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
