Yes, marriage performed in a temple is legally valid for Hindus, provided the following are satisfied: • Both parties must be Hindus. • The marriage must be solemnized in accordance with the customary Hindu rites and ceremonies as they are crucial to ensure legal validity of the marriage. • Both parties must meet the legal age which is 21 for groom and 18 for bride and they should be of sound mind capable of giving free consent and must not be within the prohibited degrees of relationship

Yes, a temple marriage is valid under Hindu law if both of you are Hindus and the rituals are properly done. Even if it's not registered, the marriage is still legal. However, registering it later at the Sub-Registrar’s office is reasonable, it helps as official proof for documents and legal matters. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
