A village headman’s certificate is not legally required for court marriage under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. Required documents include ID proof, age proof, and witnesses. If asked unlawfully, file an RTI requesting official document requirements or complain to the District Registrar or State Legal Services Authority for redressal against arbitrary procedural demands.
