Getting married is a significant milestone and when it comes to court marriage, legal formalities must be correctly followed to ensure a valid and recognized union under Indian law. BGD Associates offers expert legal guidance and assistance for couples opting for court marriage under the Special Marriage Act, 1954.
What is Court Marriage?
Court marriage is a legal procedure that allows a couple to marry without a traditional religious ceremony. It is a civil marriage solemnized by a Marriage Registrar. This process is particularly beneficial for inter-religious couples, those who prefer a simple legal registration or face social or familial opposition to marriage.
Legal Requirements for Court Marriage
To successfully register a court marriage in Delhi, the following conditions must be met:
● Both parties must be above the legal age of marriage (21 for men, 18 for women).
● Neither party should be already married (monogamy is mandatory).
● The parties must give a written notice of intended marriage to the Marriage Registrar.
● A waiting period of 30 days from the date of notice is required unless waived by the registrar.
● Two witnesses must be present during the marriage ceremony.
BGD Associates assists couples with the entire process — from preparing and filing the notice to addressing any legal challenges and ensuring smooth registration.
