Marriages can be registered in the virtual presence of parties, the Delhi High Court has ruled, saying that in the present times, citizens cannot be prevented from exercising their rights because of a rigid interpretation of law which calls for “personal presence”

Hearing a plea by a US-based Indian couple seeking to register their marriage here through video conferencing, Justice Rekha Palli opined that not treating physical presence as a mandatory requirement would also encourage parties to easily get their marriages registered.

Following the completion of the thirty-day objection period, the marriage will be solemnised, unless it has already been opposed to by any individual. In any case, if an objection is raised against an intended marriage, the Marriage Registrar cannot solemnise the marriage until he has investigated the matter of objection and reached a decision that the earlier raised objection will not prevent the marriage from being solemnised, or the prior objection is withdrawn by the individual raising it. However, if the marriage officer validates the objection and refuses to solemnise the marriage, any of the intended parties may file an appeal with the district court within the local limits of the marriage officer’s office within thirty days, and the decision of the district court on such appeal will be binding, and the marriage officer must act in accordance with the court’s decision.
