Court Marriage

Court Marriage Process  

1. Submission of Notice: The couple submits a notice of their intention to marry to the Marriage Registrar, providing personal details such as names, addresses, dates of birth, and occupation. This notice is filed in the district where at least one of them has resided for a minimum of 30 days before the notice date.

2. Objection Period: A notice period, typically 30 days, is provided during which objections to the marriage can be raised. Objections may include legal impediments like existing marriages, prohibited relationships, or other valid concerns.

3. Review of Objections: The Marriage Registrar examines any objections raised to determine their validity and relevance. This ensures that the marriage complies with legal requirements and protects the rights of all parties involved.

4. Marriage Registration: If no objections are raised or if objections are resolved, the couple appears before the Marriage Registrar with two witnesses to solemnize the marriage. The Registrar performs the necessary legal formalities, and upon completion, issues a Marriage Certificate.

5. Certificate Issuance: The Marriage Certificate is typically issued within 30 days from the date of the notice. It serves as official documentation and proof of the marriage’s legality and recognition.
