  • In Chandigarh and the rest of the country, marriage could be registered under two marriage acts, namely Hindu Marriage Act of 1955 and Special Marriage Act of 1954. In order to be eligible to get married, males are required to be at least 21 years of age while female is required to be 18. The parties to Hindu marriage need to be divorced or unmarried, or in case, previously married, spouse of that marriage needs to be dead. Besides this, the parties need to be mentally and physically healthy. They should not be in any way prohibited by the Indian constitution.

 

  • Only Hindus are applied with the Hindu Marriage Act whereas Special Marriage Act gets application to every Indian citizen. Hindu Marriage Act offers registration of already solemnized marriage. However, it does not offer solemnization of marriage by Registrar. Solemnization of the marriage including the registration conducted by a qualified Marriage Officer is provided by Special Marriage Act.

 

 

  • The Marriage Certificate is a very important document that is required by every Indian couple, irrespective of their religion.
  • Under Hindu Marriage Act:

 

  • The couple is required to apply properly to the Registrar, under whose jurisdiction, marriage has been solemnized or to that Registrar under whose jurisdiction both the parties to marriage are residing for a minimum of six months, preceding immediately the marriage date.

It needs to be affixed at a particular conspicuous place in the office of the Officer. In case, both or either party resides in another Marriage Officer’s area, then a notice copy is to be sent to that Officer for the purpose of similar publication. Marriage might be solemnized after one month expiry from the notice’ publication date, only if objections are not presented. However, if objections are presented, then it is the duty of the Marriage Officer to enquire into it and to take a proper decision as to whether the marriage is to be solemnized or to have the marriage refused. Registration is possible after marriage is solemnized and the marriage certificate can be availed.
