Marriage  

Marriage is a very essential part of life. In every country, people have a different-different way to solemnize the marriage.

This is a theist way to solemnize the marriage.

2. Court marriage In India/Registered marriage in India

Today, court marriage in India is one of the preferred option to perform the marriage. In India, a marriage officer has been appointed by the govt. for performing the marriage and issues the marriage certificate, and it’s called court marriage or registered marriage. Our India is divided into the state and every state has divided into a district for the better governance and most of the country follows this system. India has also some union territory in which central govt. have ruled.

 i) Procedure of Court Marriage in State-  

Procedure and rule of performing the court marriage in state and union territory will remain the same.  But the marriage officer will be different in the state. A state has unity of district and every district has own marriage officer. A sub-registrar has the power to perform the marriage in a district and at the time of performance of his duty his power like a civil judge that’s why the marriage like that called court marriage.

 ii) Power of Registrar of Marriage-

In court marriage, parties firstly apply to the sub-registrar for granting permission or solemnizing the marriage by moving an application along with annexed relevant documents and photographs.

If they succeed in removing the objection then the marriage will be solemnized otherwise till the objection stayed marriage can’t perform.

3.Same Day Marriage
