In general, it is not mandatory for both partners to be present when submitting forms for marriage registration, but the specific requirements can vary by jurisdiction. Under Indian law, particularly the Hindu Marriage Act, the validity of a marriage is primarily determined by the performance of requisite ceremonies rather than the registration itself. Therefore, if one partner is absent during registration, it may not invalidate the marriage as long as the necessary ceremonies were performed according to custom. However, having both parties present can facilitate the process and ensure that all legal formalities are properly completed.
