Thank you all. This forum has opened my eyes in many ways. Sacredity apart, I think two lawyers must always be present at the registrar office one talking to the boy and other to the girl, making them understand the whole gamut of legal liabilities and obligations they are signing up for. If marriage is expected to carry legal obligations and/or you have rights,which it does, it should be treated as such, just like any other civil/property contract and both parties should fully understand, comprehend , acknowledge and accept the whole possibility of civil and criminal, bon afide and malafide, possibilities they are opening up both to themseleves and esp in case of boy on his family.
