I live in delhi which is located in india. I am married. So i want to registration of my marriage. Where.?

Question

which documents i have need of marriage registration.

Answer 1

All these documents you require for registration of marriage under the Hindu Marriage Act,1955 or under the Special Marriage Act,1954 :- Proof of birth of both the parties (school leaving certificate,passport,voters ID card,Pan card,Driving license), Proof of Marriage, (in the form of Wedding Card & One or two Photographs of wedding, Certificate issued by the Temple or Gurdwara in case such marriage was preformed at any such place, Witness(es) to marriage in case of you want registration under the Hindu Marriage Act then this witness has to be a Gazetted officer with his proper identity proof who should be known to you & who has attended your marriage, in case you want to register under the Special Marriage Act,1954 you require any three witnesses who have attended your wedding with their identity proof), Proof of residence in Delhi in the form of Ration Card mentioning either of your names, Passport size photographs of both of you. All the copies of documents & identity of both of you have to be attested by the Gazetted officer who will be witness for the purpose of registration under the Hindu Marriage Act. I hope this marriage was solemnized in Delhi itself. As far registration under the Hindu Marriage Act the registration takes place on the same day of making application or within two days but in case of registration under the Special Marriage Act this registration take place after the expiry of one month's notice period. Jurisdiction of Marriage officer/registrar depends on where you stay in Delhi. For more help or clarifications in this regard you can contact me. [e-mail]

Answer 2

I could gather from your question that you reside in Delhi, which is in India. Further, you are a married person and want to register your marriage now, also would like to know where to register and the documents needed for registration etc.

I can tell you, if your question is based on actual need, no person can give an authentic answer in this regard due to the reasons given below specially through internet:

(1) You are living at Delhi, but your's or your spouse's
Citizenship is not clear which is a most important
factor for registration of ,marriage.

(2)) Your and your spouse's religion is not told which is
also most important to Indian Conditions.

(3) It is also necessay to know the form of marriage
such as, as per Religious rites, Arya Samaj Temple etc.

I therefore sincerely advise you to approach a lawyer specialised on such matters and seek his opnion which may cost you little money in the form of lawyer fee etc. But this will definitely be the answer to your question. Best wishes.
