	1- Is marriage certificate is necessary to file a divorce or annulment petition? Take: In a way NO. Marriage photograph, wedding card is enough. 2- In Rural areas who are the authorized persons/institutions to issue a marriage certificate? Take: Few States have given authority to Patwaris, SDM, Tahsildar, gram Panchayat, Temple. Depends upon State your query originates from. Check locally with an Advocate or search lawyer’s database in LCI to hire one for consultation on this para query. 3- What documents are required to obtain this certificate?
