Marriage Registration Process in Delhi/UP/Haryana

The Supreme Court of India, in 2006, made it compulsory to register all marriages. In India, a marriage could either be registered under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 or under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. The Hindu Marriage Act is applicable towards Hindus, whereas the Special Marriage Act is applicable towards all citizens of India irrespective of their religion. The Hindu Marriage Act provides for registration of an already solemnized marriage and doesn’t provide for solemnisation of a marriage by a Marriage Registrar. However, the Special Marriage Act provides for solemnisation of marriage and registration by a Marriage Officer. For being eligible for marriage in India, the minimum age is 21 years for males and 18 years for females.
