Registration of marriages

I believe that marriages performed by age-old traditional/ customary methods are well recognized in society and legally binding upon the newly-wed couples. Is it now mandatory to also get such marriages registered? Please respond with reference to relevant case laws/ Court rulings.

solemnisation of marriage and registration of marriage are two different things. marriages may be solemnised as per the customary rites and ritulas unless nullified by law. regisration of marrigaes have been made compulsory for the social purpose and the idea is meant for protection of the couples from various kind of matrimonail disputes. registration of marriages does not affect the personal laws of a couple. recently hon'ble SC has directed to make the registration of marriages compulsory and in the process various States are enacting respective laws and rules for such purpose. such a law wont affect the validity of any marriage.

Yeah, kiran Kumar is RIGHT, but Such direction will not be a binding for the marriages performed prior to it.
