Now what is the necessity of the same.Your Parents should be having Ration Card,Pass Port Etc where it would be mentioned clearly.If you are particular you could get the same from Registrar Office Completing the formalities required by them by enclosing an Affidavit that they were married before 27 years and getting it registered now only.Contact your Concerned Registrar in Person and He would guide you.Presence of your Parents at Registrar Office at the time of Registration would be mandatory.

Under which Act? Neither in Hindu nor in Special Marriage signature of priest is required.

Dear Author,Details of Pandit's marriage is irrelevant for registration purpose and Affidavit will be Sufficient.Contact the Registrar in Person.

In most of the states such certificate is not required. Not aware of all states. If it is required in your state consult the Registrar office whether an affidavit may solve the purpose as the priest has expired.

If the marriage is performed as per hindu rituals, you can submit the form D you can fill-up relevant columns with factual and available information and submit directly to the Sub-Registrar and obtain the acknowledgement either from him or from his office. He cannot reject the application on the pretext that it was not signed by a dead person. He will definitely suggest the alternative like giving a sworn affidavit.

Madam,Basing on your Replies it is felt that Registrar is not a Person with helping mind.I would advise you to write a Letter in detail along with copy of affidavit stating the facts, enclosed with copy of the proofs like Ration Card,Pass Port or any other thing which carries your both Parents name and ask him for a Reply for the same for How to Proceed for Registration Under Right To Information Act Affixing necessary court fee Stamps and send it by Registered Post.Your Problem Would be solved in 30 Days.No Need For any Advocate for this which would cost you. .

The particulars and signature of the priest conducted the marriage to be obtained in the application for obtaining marriage certificate in Tamilnadu also is mandatory, without which the registrar will not accept the application. However, they do not strictly see that if the priest himself has signed or somebody did. Now since your matter is in the knowledge of the authorities, you may fill up the particulars of the priest conducted the marriage and in he signature column, you may leave it blank with an endorsement died'. This may be accepted or not, you may enquire from the registrar office.
