HINDU MARRIAGE WITHOUT REGISTRATION

registration is a procedure and is a evidence of marriage and in no ways it effects the validity of a marriage performed according to the HINDU RITUALS but the govt may impose fine for failure of registration

HINDU MARRIAGE WITHOUT REGISTRATION IS A VALID MARRIAGE.

IN A LATTER STAGE YOU MAY REGISTER THE SAID MARRIAGE.

Irony is that only ritual make them husband and wife but if any difference arises at later stage either of them would be wandering for legal proof.So get it registered at once before it is too late.It may cost you less now.

Yes, valid. because registration is not compulsory. u/s 8 subsection (5) of hindu marriage act 1955 clearly defined it. where as registration under the special marriage act ,1954 is sort of evidence of marriage.

Marriage solemnized according to Hindu Custom and Rites is valid marriage ,no need to compulsory registration but may be registered under Hindu Marriage act.

For the following scenario:

The male/ female is married to a person in hindhu custom and the marriage is not registered legally. the marriage was organised in front of everyone as a regular marriage. Then the male/ female registeres there marriage with another male/ female in the register office.

1.Which marriage is legal?

2.will they be charged case for this situation if the forst marriage was told as it was forced?

3. is there any solution for the second marraige to be legalised?

4.what is the position of the individuals?

HINDU MARRIAGE WITHOUT REGISTRATION

If i say Hindu marriage without registration is not legally valid then many of you will here bring the argument "then how come your parents marriage is valid if it was not registered".

As per the Hindu marriage if some specific rituals like Saptapadi and seven pheras done then marriage is considered valid and many lawyers will claim that the videos,pics,wedding cards and few witness are enough to prove validity of marriage.

If husband and wife have no troubles then there is no problem but if they have problem in relationship and one of them claims there was no marriage then it depends upon the other party to prove the validity of the marriage whereas having marriage certificate there is nothing to worry.

Now proving the legal validity depends entirely on the capability of the Lawyer.Now how can one prove there was 7 pheras with a video as its easy to manipulate a video and one can even make 70 pheras with todays technology.Now a lawyer can easily screw any witness in the witness box as will ask how to know if the mantras recited by the pandit was correct and how they know its proper marriage and even the pandit who performed the marriage will be called in the witness box and finally one of the spouse can easily deny the marriage saying that they were foced into the marriage.Also it has to be proved that after marriage the couples are living together as husband and wife and if not it would be treated as fake marriage validity of marriage is a big question.

I know of cases in which the marriage was unregistered and also it was never consummated but the woman lied that the marriage was consumated but when she came to the witness box the kind of questions which the lawyer asked the woman could not answer as how can she know his size when it was not consumated.

So in conclusion i would say Hindu Marriage without registraion is still valid but chances are there to make it invalid if one hires a smart lawyer.If the Marriage is unregistered and unconsumated then even a average Lawyer can easily make this marriage void even if there is videos,photos,wedding cards except legal marriage certificate.

Also as mentioned here if Marriage is not registered then one has to pay fine.This is valid only when the couple don't register and when they later go to register the marriage they have to pay fine.

On the other hand no one can force a person to register the marriage as this itself will prove that the marriage took place by force.If the husband or wife is not willing to regieter the marriage then the marriage itself is in question and there is no law to force or punish one of them to get the marriage registered.Yes in this situation many lawyers will give the advice to file 498a but again if you have a smart lawyer then one can not only punish the people who file false 498a but also the Investigating office.

Hope you must have seen the debate last week in DD regarding inclusing of marital rape and the director of CSR Ranjana Kumari who said 498a law should not be removed its the problem with the police that they arrest.

Thank you very much nitin. this is a gud response from you. actually if they dont register for a long time then is the marriage considered to be cancelled at any point of time?

if the Male/Female forced her out of the house and stays seperate and fights without a lawyer is it possible by her to get ditached from that marriage?
