Arya Samaj Marriage
A simple, dignified marriage by Vedic rites, often arranged at short notice once both parties are eligible and documents are in order, with guidance on the government registration that should follow.
Overview
What an Arya Samaj marriage involves
An Arya Samaj marriage is performed according to Vedic rites, usually including the sacred fire and saptapadi, and is generally a simple and short ceremony. Such marriages are recognised under the Arya Marriage Validation Act, 1937, read with the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, where the parties are eligible.
A certificate issued by the Arya Samaj or temple records that the ceremony took place. It is not a government marriage certificate, and courts have indicated that such certificates are not a substitute for registration. We therefore advise couples to register their marriage with the Registrar after the ceremony, and we can guide you through both stages.
Can it happen today? Often, yes, when both parties are eligible and all documents are complete and verified. It depends on verification and mandir availability, so it cannot be promised in advance.

No. Where both parties are adults and legally eligible, parental consent is not a legal requirement. Witnesses with valid identity proof are required.
Proof of date of birth, identity and address for both parties, passport-size photographs, affidavits as required, and witnesses’ identity proof. If either party was married before, the divorce decree or death certificate of the former spouse is needed.
This raises questions about conversion and validity that depend on individual facts. Inter-faith couples often choose the Special Marriage Act instead. Please discuss your situation with us before taking any step.
An application can generally be made soon after the ceremony. The date of registration depends on the Registrar’s process and appointment availability.

NI Act & Cheque Bounce
Assistance for payees and drawers in cheque dishonour matters, from the legal notice to complaint, trial, settlement and appeal.
Overview
When a cheque issued to pay a legally enforceable debt is returned unpaid, for example for insufficient funds, the payee may be able to file a criminal complaint under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. The law sets strict time limits at each step, so prompt action matters.
We act for payees seeking recovery and for persons who have received a notice or summons. Many cheque bounce cases are resolved through settlement, which the law permits at various stages.

- If payment is not made, a complaint is filed within one month after that 15-day period ends
These are general statutory limits. Whether they are met, and what follows if they are not, depends on the facts, including the date the notice was actually received. The court may condone some delays for sufficient cause.

Every matter is different, but most follow a pattern similar to this.

Court Marriage
Clear guidance on court marriage in Delhi: choosing the correct legal route, preparing documents, giving notice and completing solemnisation or registration.
Overview
“Court marriage” is the everyday term for a marriage that is solemnised or registered before a government officer rather than only through a religious ceremony. In practice, it can refer to two different legal routes, and the correct route depends mainly on the religion of both parties and whether a ceremony has already taken place.
Because the route decides the procedure, the notice requirements, the documents and the time involved, the first step is always to identify which law applies to you. We explain the options, help you prepare, and accompany you through each stage. The final decision on solemnisation or registration rests with the Marriage Officer or Registrar.
General information only. This page describes the law and procedure in general terms. Your options depend on your specific facts, so please seek advice before acting on it.
Matters covered
- Advice on the correct legal route
- Special Marriage Act notice and solemnisation
- Registration of Hindu marriages
- Inter-faith and inter-caste marriages
- Marriages involving a foreign national or NRI
- Checking and preparing documents and affidavits
- Guidance on witnesses and appointments
- Assistance where objections are raised
The two common legal routes
Special Marriage Act, 1954
Open to any two eligible persons, whatever their religion, including inter-faith couples who do not wish to convert. The marriage is solemnised by the Marriage Officer after a public notice period.
Key feature: a notice of intended marriage, followed by a 30-day period in which objections may be raised.
Hindu Marriage Act, 1955
For couples who are both Hindu (which, for this law, includes Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs). The marriage is first performed by customary rites, for example at a temple or an Arya Samaj, and then registered with the Registrar.
Key feature: no 30-day notice period for registration, but a valid ceremony must have taken place.
Please note: the procedure, notice requirements, documents and timelines depend on the route chosen and on individual circumstances, such as residence, previous marriages or foreign nationality. No fixed timeline or outcome can be promised. Requirements can vary between states, districts and offices, and are updated from time to time. We confirm the current position for your matter before any step is taken.
Court marriage under the Special Marriage Act: step by step
The following is a general outline of the procedure under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. Local practice, such as online applications in Delhi, can add or change steps.
Check eligibility
At the time of marriage, the man must be at least 21 and the woman at least 18. Neither may have a living spouse, both must be capable of giving valid consent, and the parties must not be within the prohibited degrees of relationship (unless a custom governing both permits it).
Choose the correct district
Notice is given to the Marriage Officer of the district where at least one of the parties has lived for at least 30 days immediately before the notice. In Delhi, the Sub-Divisional Magistrate’s office for the area usually acts as the Marriage Officer.
Give notice of intended marriage
Both parties sign and submit the notice in the prescribed form with supporting documents. In Delhi this is generally done through the Revenue Department’s online portal, followed by verification at the office.
Publication and the 30-day objection period
The Marriage Officer publishes the notice, and it may also be sent to the office where the other party permanently resides. Any person may object within 30 days on the grounds that a legal condition for the marriage is not met.
Inquiry into any objection
If an objection is made, the Marriage Officer must inquire into it. The marriage cannot be solemnised until the objection is decided, and the law provides for an appeal if the officer refuses.
Declarations and witnesses
After the objection period, both parties and three witnesses sign declarations in the prescribed form before the Marriage Officer.
Solemnisation
The marriage is solemnised at the Marriage Officer’s office, or at another place within a reasonable distance on payment of any additional fee, in any form the parties choose, provided each says the words of acceptance required by law in the presence of the officer and witnesses.
Marriage certificate
The Marriage Officer enters the certificate in the Marriage Certificate Book, signed by the parties and witnesses. Certified copies can then be applied for.
The marriage must be solemnised within three months of the notice. If not, a fresh notice is required.
Ceremony followed by registration (Hindu Marriage Act)
Confirm eligibility
Both parties must be Hindu within the meaning of the Act, meet the minimum ages, have no living spouse, and give valid consent.
Perform the ceremony
The marriage is performed by customary rites and ceremonies, such as saptapadi. Photographs and a ceremony certificate are commonly kept as evidence.
Apply for registration
An application is made to the Registrar with the prescribed documents. In Delhi, registration of marriages is compulsory and applications are generally made online, followed by an appointment.
Appearance and certificate
Both parties, with witnesses as required, appear before the Registrar for verification. Once satisfied, the Registrar registers the marriage and issues the certificate.
Indicative documents
The documents below are commonly requested. The exact list depends on your circumstances and the office or court concerned; we confirm it before any filing.
- Proof of date of birth for both parties, such as a birth certificate, Class 10 certificate or passport
- Identity proof, such as Aadhaar card, passport or voter ID
- Proof of residence, including for the 30-day residence requirement under the Special Marriage Act
- Recent passport-size photographs of both parties
- Affidavits covering date of birth, marital status, nationality and relationship between the parties
- If previously married: divorce decree or death certificate of the former spouse
- For foreign nationals: passport and visa, and often a no-objection or single-status certificate from the embassy
- Witnesses’ identity and address proof (three witnesses under the Special Marriage Act)
- For registration after a ceremony: evidence of the ceremony, such as photographs and a ceremony certificate
Frequently asked questions
It depends on the route. Under the Special Marriage Act, there is a mandatory 30-day notice period before the marriage can be solemnised, and the overall time also depends on appointment availability and on whether any objection is raised. Registration of a marriage already performed under the Hindu Marriage Act does not have the 30-day notice period. We cannot promise a fixed timeline.
Under the Special Marriage Act, no, because the law requires a notice period. Where both parties are Hindu and a valid ceremony has already been performed, registration under the Hindu Marriage Act does not involve that notice period, but it still depends on the Registrar’s process and appointment.
No. Parental consent is not a legal requirement where both parties are adults who meet the legal conditions. Witnesses are required, and they must carry valid identity and address proof.
The law requires the Marriage Officer to publish the notice so that objections can be raised. How and where it is displayed or sent depends on current rules and practice, which we can explain for your case.
Yes, usually under the Special Marriage Act, subject to eligibility and residence requirements. Additional documents, such as a valid visa and a certificate from the embassy, are commonly required.

India’s criminal laws changed on 1 July 2024, when the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam replaced the Indian Penal Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure and the Indian Evidence Act.

Working with us

Marriage & Matrimonial
An Arya Samaj marriage between eligible parties, performed in accordance with the law, is generally recognised. Validity depends on the facts, such as the religion and age of the parties and whether either has a living spouse.
Usually not. Most official purposes call for a marriage certificate issued by the government Registrar, which is why registration after the ceremony is advisable.
It depends on the route. Under the Special Marriage Act, there is a mandatory 30-day notice period before the marriage can be solemnised, and the overall time also depends on appointment availability and on whether any objection is raised. Registration of a marriage already performed under the Hindu Marriage Act does not have the 30-day notice period. We cannot promise a fixed timeline.
Under the Special Marriage Act, no, because the law requires a notice period. Where both parties are Hindu and a valid ceremony has already been performed, registration under the Hindu Marriage Act does not involve that notice period, but it still depends on the Registrar’s process and appointment.

Where the parties belong to different religions and neither wishes to convert, the Special Marriage Act, 1954 is usually the applicable law. It involves a notice to the Marriage Officer and a 30-day objection period.

Family, Criminal & Claims
The welfare of the child is the paramount consideration. Courts consider the child’s age, stability, education, health and, where appropriate, the child’s own wishes.
The Act provides for protection orders, residence orders, monetary relief, custody orders and compensation. Relief is granted by the magistrate on the facts of each case.
Regular bail is sought after arrest. Anticipatory bail is sought by a person who fears arrest for a non-bailable offence, before any arrest. Both are decided by the court on the facts.
