The court marriage documents have to be legally valid for the claiming of marital rights and recognition as the husband and wife in the eyes of law. It can be checked for its originality by approaching to the authorities from where such documents are issued by asking for the information through request letter or by directly going to the department / office and check the validity of the documents.

Sir, the documents you possess may have legal value if they are authentic, properly stamped, and registered. However, if your brother is already married, the second marriage may not be valid unless the first marriage is legally dissolved. It's crucial to verify the documents with the marriage registrar and seek legal advice regarding the status of the second marriage. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
