Marriage Registration

The Indian Christian Marriage Act, 1872, under Part IV deals with the marriage registration performed under this Act. The parties are required to make an application for the marriage registration to the concerned authority in whose Jurisdiction either of the party has been residing.

The Marriage Register is where the Registrar, who is present and performs the marriage of the couple, registers the marriage.

An acknowledgement slip of the registration is signed by both the parties to the marriage along with their witnesses and this is attached to the register as a proof that the marriage was registered.

These acknowledgement slips are sent out at the end of the month to the Registrar General of Births, Deaths and Marriages.

Indian Christian marriages may also be endorsed under a special provision without a prior notice.

Documents Required:

a) The complete Application Form

b) Passport Size Photographs

c) The Marriage Certificate issued by the Minister of Priest who performed the marriage

d)Proof of Residence and Age of the Parties

e) An Affidavit certifying the mental and marital status of both parties.

1. Since you already have the certificate of marriage issued by the Church, you can now registered it before the District Court at Allahabad or Kerala.

2. The process is to make an affidavit affirming that you had got married before at Church in the year 1978 as per the certificate of marriage issued by the Church at Allahabad.

3. In fact I have got my marriage so registered before the court through affidavit for getting my passport.

4. The regular Registrar of Marriage both at Allahabad and kottayam will refuse to register your marriage solensied at the Church before 40 years for want of your address proof at Allahabad and also for lack of jurisdiction by the Kottayam Registrar.

If you have a photocopy send them an RTI and seek for the document

It is true that without local address proof the registrar is not supposed to register the marriage.

However since you were married long back with no place of residence in Allahabad presently you can use a temporary address of your friends or relatives there for this purpose.

Even a rent agreement for temporary period can take care of thus situation.

So you can talk to the Registrar on this aspect.

It doesn't matter where you married for the registration purpose you please approach the local Registrar of marriage along with KYC and marriage proofs of both the partner for the day you married and any certificate issued in this regard and apply for the registration.

The Registrar after clarification and physical presence will issue a certificate after 30 days.

You take help of a lawyer.

The marriage can be registered at the place of solemnisation of marriage also on the basis of the church certificate in which the residential proofs have been submitted for the purpose.

If the marriage registrar is refusing to register the same you can ask him to quote the relevant law or take up an appeal before the district registrar or even the IG Registration or you can drag them to the court with a suit for mandatory injunction seeking direction to the concerned authority to register the marriage on the basis of the authentic records produced before the court for having solemnised the marriage within its jurisdictions.
