Home Documentation Registration of Marriage Certificate
The marriage certificate officially declares that two persons have become husband and wife. Marriages in India may be registered under the Special Marriage Act of 1954 or the Hindu Marriage Act of 1955.
A marriage certificate is valid evidence that a couple is married in both kinds of unions. To protect women's rights, the Supreme Court mandated marriage registration in 2006. Consequently, getting a marriage certificate after getting married might offer some advantages.
