Hello All,

I am not sure about the marriage registration process so I thought I will ask the forum here. If you get wedding ceremony done in India, then you go for honeymoon for couple of weeks. Then after coming back you get your marriage registered.

1) What will be wedding date entered in the forms? Will it be the date you got your marriage registered or the date the wedding ceremony is done?

2) I think you are supposed to send pictures together sightseeing etc. on honeymoon. Since these pictures will be before marriage is registered, will it cause any issues?

Thanks

They are two kinds of registered marriage in India.

( a ) you perform a religious wedding. And your religious wedding is registered (where your marriage date is same as religious wedding date).

( b ) you apply for registered marriage at register's office. There is a 30 day waiting period and marriage is registered. (in accordance to section 7(A) of marriage act).

So, in your case all marriage pictures and etc. are valid even before you register your ceremonial marriage.

Cheers

Hi was reading this post and am now a bit confused....

Our religious marriage took place on February 20 and we had our marriage registered at the register's office on March 5th. Does this mean that our marriage certificate is not valid?

Please advice....
