Can Tamil Nadu marriage registration reveal details of my previous marriage?

I got married and registered my first marriage in Bangalore, Karnataka. It didn’t work out well, so we got divorced. I am now planning for a second marriage, and my partner knows about my past. We are getting married soon, but our concern is that we don't want to reveal my first marriage to their family. If we register our wedding in Tamil Nadu, what will happen? Will they be able to find details of my first marriage in the register office? Is there any connection between the Karnataka and Tamil Nadu marriage registration portals?

Marriage registration records in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka are generally maintained separately, and there is no common portal linking both states’ databases. When you register your second marriage in Tamil Nadu, the officials there will not automatically have access to your first marriage details from Karnataka. However, if someone specifically searches for your past records in Karnataka, they may find them. To avoid issues, ensure all legal formalities, like divorce documentation, are complete before registering the new marriage.

Marriage records in different states like Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are not automatically linked, so your first marriage will not show up in Tamil Nadu's registry. However, honesty about your past marriage is important for transparency. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline mnumber.
