Is the type of marriage (arranged or love) mentioned legally?
Hello, is the type of marriage listed on an Indian Marriage certificate as in arranged or a love marriage? If not, is it listed on any legal document?
Indian marriage certificates do not mention whether the marriage is an arranged one or a love marriage. They are legal proof of the marriage, registered under the Hindu Marriage Act of 1955 or the Special Marriage Act of 1954. The nature of the marriage is not documented in any legal form. Even with the inclusions of names and dates, the certificate only indicates legal recognition without mentioning circumstances or motivations that precipitated the union. Typically, no other legal document captures such a distinction.
An Indian marriage certificate does not disclose the fact whether it is an arranged marriage or a love marriage. They are evidence of the marriage itself, under either the Hindu Marriage Act 1955 or the Special Marriage Act 1954. The character of the marriage is not registered in any official document. Although it engages some personal detail—the names of partners and dates—it is concerned primarily with the legal aspect of marriage, not its circumstances or its motivations. It is advisable to contact a lawyer.
Sir, in India, marriage certificates do not specify whether a marriage is arranged or based on love. This distinction is personal and not legally recorded. The marriage certificate only proves the legal union. If needed, such details might be mentioned in personal statements or during legal proceedings but are not officially documented.
