What are the requirements for witnesses in a court marriage?

During a court marriage, how many people should be present from both the bride's and groom's side? Also, can any person over the age of 18 serve as a witness? Is it necessary for the addresses on the witnesses’ Aadhaar cards to match the addresses on the groom’s and bride’s Aadhaar cards?

For a court marriage, both the bride and groom must have at least two witnesses who are 18 or older. The witnesses can be anyone, but their Aadhaar card address does not need to match that of the bride or groom. The marriage will be valid as long as the witnesses are present.
