Court Marriage Law
Marriage Registration
The process of officially recording a marriage with the government, resulting in a marriage certificate that serves as legal proof the marriage took place.
Registering a marriage — whether it was solemnised religiously or through a civil ceremony — creates an official record and certificate that is often required for practical purposes like passport applications, visas, and claiming spousal benefits.
Several states have made registration compulsory, and couples can typically apply through either the religion-specific registration route or the secular civil registration route.
