What we do
Arya Samaj marriage
An Arya Samaj marriage is performed by Vedic rites around the sacred fire. It is simple and dignified, and suits couples who want a ceremony without elaborate arrangements.
Short-notice ceremonies. When both parties are eligible and documents are complete, the ceremony can often be arranged quickly, sometimes the same day. Government registration is a separate step that follows.
The ceremony
The main elements of a ceremony performed by Vedic rites. Practices vary slightly between mandirs.
The sacred fire at the centre of the Vedic ceremony, around which the couple takes their vows.
The exchange of garlands, marking mutual acceptance.
Traditional symbols offered during the ceremony.
The ceremony space, prepared with drapes and flowers.
How it works
A general outline. Exact requirements depend on the mandir, the Registrar and your circumstances.
We review age, identity and address proof and prepare the affidavits needed.
The marriage is performed by Vedic rites around the sacred fire, with witnesses present.
The mandir issues its certificate recording that the ceremony took place.
We guide you through the application and appointment before the Marriage Registrar.
Be prepared
Having these ready is what usually makes a short-notice ceremony possible. We confirm the exact list for your case.

Often, yes. When both parties are eligible and all documents are complete and verified, the ceremony can usually be arranged at short notice, sometimes the same day. This depends on document verification and the availability of the mandir and priest, so it cannot be promised in advance. Government registration is a separate step with its own appointment.
Generally, both parties should be Hindu, Buddhist, Jain or Sikh, the man must be at least 21 and the woman at least 18, neither may have a living spouse, and both must consent freely. Questions about conversion should be discussed with us beforehand.
It records that the ceremony took place, but it is not a government marriage certificate. Registration with the Marriage Registrar afterwards is advisable, and compulsory in Delhi.

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
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.
The ceremony
The sacred fire at the centre of the Vedic ceremony, around which the couple takes their vows.
The exchange of garlands, marking mutual acceptance.
Traditional symbols offered during the ceremony.
The ceremony space, prepared with drapes and flowers.
Step by step

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.

Assistance for payees and drawers in cheque dishonour matters, from the legal notice to complaint, trial, settlement and appeal.
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.
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.
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.
We check the cheque, the bank’s return memo and the dates to confirm the time limits.
We draft and send the demand notice within the time allowed, keeping proof of dispatch and delivery.
If payment is not made, we prepare and file the complaint with supporting evidence before the competent court.
We represent you through summons, evidence and arguments, and explore settlement where appropriate.
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.
Yes. An offence under Section 138 is a criminal offence, although it is often resolved by payment or settlement, which the law permits.
Missing a statutory limit can affect the complaint. Other remedies, such as a civil recovery suit, may still be available. Please seek advice promptly.
Yes. Offences under the NI Act can be compounded, and courts encourage settlement where both parties agree.
Generally in the court within whose jurisdiction the payee’s bank branch, where the cheque was presented, is located. We will confirm the correct court for your case.
Share a few details and we will contact you during working hours. Please keep it brief and do not attach documents at this stage.
Advice and representation in civil disputes, from pre-litigation notices to suits, consumer complaints and execution of decrees.
Civil disputes arise when rights under a contract, over property or in money matters are not respected. They can often be resolved by a well-drafted legal notice or negotiation, and where that fails, by a suit or complaint before the appropriate court or commission.
Civil proceedings are governed by strict rules on limitation, jurisdiction and court fees. We assess these at the outset, so that you understand your position, the likely steps and the realistic options before committing to litigation.
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.
Every matter is different, but most follow a pattern similar to this.
We review your documents to identify the cause of action, limitation, jurisdiction and remedies.
Where appropriate, we send a legal notice or try to resolve the dispute before litigation.
We draft and file the plaint or complaint, or the written statement if you are the defendant.
We represent you through evidence and arguments, and in executing the decree if one is passed.
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.
It depends on the type of case, the court’s workload and the conduct of the parties. We give a realistic view but cannot predict an exact duration.
Most civil claims must be filed within a period fixed by the Limitation Act, 1963. Claims filed late may be dismissed, so it is important to act in time.
Yes. Many disputes are resolved by negotiation, mediation or Lok Adalat, and courts encourage settlement.
It depends on the nature of the dispute and the remedy you seek. We will advise on the more suitable forum.

Clear guidance on court marriage in Delhi: choosing the correct legal route, preparing documents, giving notice and completing solemnisation or registration.
“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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
After the objection period, both parties and three witnesses sign declarations in the prescribed form before the Marriage Officer.
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.
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.
Both parties must be Hindu within the meaning of the Act, meet the minimum ages, have no living spouse, and give valid consent.
The marriage is performed by customary rites and ceremonies, such as saptapadi. Photographs and a ceremony certificate are commonly kept as evidence.
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.
Both parties, with witnesses as required, appear before the Registrar for verification. Once satisfied, the Registrar registers the marriage and issues the certificate.
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.
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.

Prompt, measured assistance for people accused of offences and for complainants, from the police stage through trial and appeal.
Being accused of an offence, or being the victim of one, is stressful and often urgent. Early advice helps you understand your rights, what the police or court may require of you, and what options are available at each stage.
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. Which law applies can depend on when the events took place and when proceedings began, and we advise on matters under both.
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.
Every matter is different, but most follow a pattern similar to this.

We appear on your behalf and keep you informed of each development.
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.
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.
Read it carefully, note the date and place of appearance, and take legal advice promptly. Keep copies of everything you receive and submit.
The High Court has power to quash proceedings in appropriate cases, including in some matters that have been settled between the parties. This is decided on the facts and the law.
No advocate can guarantee a result. We will give you an honest assessment based on the information available and represent you with care.
Share a few details and we will contact you during working hours. Please keep it brief and do not attach documents at this stage.
Guidance on family matters beyond the marriage itself: children, protection, succession and support within the family.
Family law covers some of the most sensitive questions a person can face, from the care of children to protection from abuse and the division of a family’s assets after a death. We approach each matter with discretion and patience, and with an eye on relationships that will continue after the legal issue is resolved.
Our work includes custody and guardianship, protection under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, adoption formalities, succession and legal-heir documentation, and maintenance claims by parents and senior citizens.

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.
It is a certificate issued by a civil court that allows the holder to collect debts and securities, such as bank deposits, of a deceased person. Requirements depend on the asset and the institution.
Yes. The Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 provides a procedure before a tribunal for such claims.

Clear, carefully drafted documents that record exactly what has been agreed and reduce the room for later dispute.
Many disputes start with a document that was vague, incomplete or copied from an unsuitable template. We draft and review documents so they reflect your actual arrangement, use clear language, and meet the formal requirements that apply, such as stamp duty, attestation, notarisation and registration.
Whether you need a simple affidavit or a detailed agreement, we take time to understand its purpose and the people who will rely on it.

It depends on the type of document, its value and the state where it is executed. We will explain the applicable rate.
Templates can be a starting point but often miss terms specific to you or local stamp requirements. A review can help identify gaps.

Practical assistance with the registrations and licences small businesses and professionals need, and the compliance that follows.
Starting or running a business involves registrations and licences, each with its own forms, documents and authorities. Keeping track of them alongside day-to-day work can be difficult, especially for small businesses.
We help you identify which registrations are likely to apply to your activity, prepare the documents, and file applications. Where a matter needs a chartered accountant or company secretary, we coordinate with them or suggest that you engage one. The grant of any licence or registration rests with the issuing authority.

Practical, confidential guidance for adults who choose to marry each other, including where families disagree.
Indian law recognises the right of two adults to marry a person of their choice. The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed this right, and it has directed authorities to protect couples who face threats because of their choice.
In practice, couples marrying by their own choice need to decide which legal route applies to them, prepare the right documents, and make sure their marriage is properly recorded. Where there is opposition or intimidation, they may also need to know which authorities to approach. We give clear, confidential guidance at each step.
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.
If you are in immediate danger, call the police on 112. Couples facing threats may be able to seek help from the local police and, where needed, may approach the High Court for protection. Whether protection is granted, and in what form, is decided by the relevant authority or court on the facts.
Please share only what is necessary through the enquiry form. We will discuss the details with you directly and in confidence.
Every matter is different, but most follow a pattern similar to this.
We understand your situation, including the religion of both parties, where you live and any urgency.

No. Where both parties are adults and meet the legal conditions for marriage, parental permission is not a legal requirement.
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.
Couples facing threats can approach the police, and the courts have issued directions for the protection of such couples. Whether protection is given depends on the facts and on the decision of the authority or court concerned.
We treat everything you share with us as confidential. Some official procedures, such as the notice under the Special Marriage Act, involve publication required by law, which we will explain.
Share a few details and we will contact you during working hours. Please keep it brief and do not attach documents at this stage.
Guidance for accident victims and families on compensation claims before the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal.
A road accident can bring medical expenses, loss of income and, in the worst cases, the loss of a family member. The Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 allows victims and their legal representatives to claim compensation before the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT), usually against the owner, driver and insurer of the vehicle involved.
Compensation depends on factors such as the nature of the injuries, medical expenses, age, income, dependency and future prospects, and is decided by the Tribunal. We help families gather the right evidence and present the claim clearly. Time limits apply, so it is sensible to seek advice early.
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.
Claims under Section 166 for compensation based on the loss suffered, where the accident arose from the use of a motor vehicle. The amount is assessed by the Tribunal on evidence.
The Act also provides fixed no-fault compensation in cases of death or grievous hurt, and a scheme for hit-and-run accidents where the vehicle cannot be traced. Current amounts and procedures can be confirmed for your case.
After an accident, the police prepare a report of the accident for the Tribunal, which can also be treated as a claim application in some cases. We help check that the record is complete and accurate.
Every matter is different, but most follow a pattern similar to this.
We collect the FIR, the police accident report, medical records and details of the vehicle and insurer.
We explain the heads of compensation that may apply, such as medical expenses, loss of income and dependency.
We prepare and file the claim petition before the Tribunal with supporting evidence.
We present evidence, respond to the insurer’s objections, and pursue recovery of any award made.
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.
The injured person, the owner of damaged property, or, in a death case, the legal representatives of the deceased can file a claim.
Yes. The law now prescribes a time limit for filing claims, and courts have considered how it applies. Please seek advice as soon as possible after an accident.
The Tribunal decides the amount based on the evidence, including injuries, expenses, age and income. We cannot predict or guarantee a figure.
Compensation may be available under the hit-and-run scheme, subject to its conditions and procedure.

Help registering a marriage that has already taken place, so you have a government certificate for official purposes.
A marriage certificate issued by the government is widely required for passports, visas, bank and insurance nominations, and property and inheritance matters. In Delhi, registration of marriages has been made compulsory.
Marriages performed by religious ceremony can usually be registered under the law that applies to the parties, such as the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. Marriages performed in other forms can in some cases be registered under Section 15 of the Special Marriage Act, 1954. We help you identify the correct provision, prepare the application and attend to the appointment.
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.
Every matter is different, but most follow a pattern similar to this.
We check the religion of the parties, the form of ceremony and where you live to identify the applicable provision and office.
We prepare the application and supporting affidavits and check every document for consistency.
Applications in Delhi are generally made online. Both parties attend with witnesses as required for verification.
Once the Registrar is satisfied, the marriage is registered and the certificate is issued or made available.
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.
Generally, yes. Older marriages can usually be registered, although the Registrar may ask for additional evidence or affidavits. We will advise on what is needed.
It records the ceremony but is not a government marriage certificate. Registration with the Registrar is advisable for official purposes.
Usually both parties must appear before the Registrar, along with witnesses where required. Specific requirements depend on the office.

Careful, discreet advice and representation in divorce, separation, maintenance and other disputes arising within a marriage.
When a marriage runs into difficulty, the questions are often urgent and personal: where the children will live, how finances will be managed, and what the legal options are. We explain your rights and obligations plainly, and help you choose a course that is realistic and proportionate.
Many matrimonial disputes are resolved through negotiation or mediation, which family courts actively encourage. Where proceedings are necessary, we prepare thoroughly and keep you informed after each hearing.

Custody and visitation are decided with the welfare of the child as the paramount consideration. Parents are encouraged to agree arrangements where possible.

Careful checks before you buy or sell, correct documentation and registration, and representation in property disputes.
Property is often a family’s most valuable asset, and property documents in Delhi can span decades and several forms of transfer. Careful checks before a purchase, and properly drafted and registered documents, can prevent many later disputes.
Transactions based only on a general power of attorney, agreement to sell and will do not, by themselves, transfer ownership, as the courts have held. We explain the legal position of your documents and the steps available to regularise or protect your rights.

Help for landlords and tenants with rent agreements, rights and obligations, and disputes over rent, deposits and eviction.
A clearly drafted rent agreement protects both landlord and tenant and reduces disputes later. Leases of immovable property for longer periods generally need to be registered, which is why many agreements are written for eleven months. Tenant verification with the police is also expected in Delhi.
When disputes arise, the applicable law matters. Premises covered by the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958, which generally applies to premises let at a monthly rent up to ₹3,500 in covered areas, are dealt with by the Rent Controller. Most other tenancies are governed by the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 and are resolved through civil suits after a proper notice.
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.

Leases for longer periods generally require registration and higher stamp duty. An eleven-month agreement is common, but registration can still be advisable depending on the arrangement.
A tenant who does not leave voluntarily should be removed only through the legal process. Self-help measures, such as cutting utilities, can create legal problems for the landlord.
It depends mainly on the rent and the location of the premises. We will confirm which law applies to your case.
A legal notice often resolves the matter. If not, a civil claim may be possible, depending on the agreement and the facts.

These answers are general and may not apply to your situation. They are not legal advice. Each service page has further questions.
Often, yes. When both parties are eligible and all documents are complete and verified, the ceremony can usually be arranged at short notice, sometimes the same day.

Generally, both parties should be Hindu, Buddhist, Jain or Sikh, the man must be at least 21 and the woman at least 18, neither may have a living spouse, and both must consent freely. Questions about conversion should be discussed with us beforehand.

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.
No. Where both parties are adults and meet the legal conditions for marriage, parental permission is not a legal requirement.
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.

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.
Read it carefully, note the date and place of appearance, and take legal advice promptly. Keep copies of everything you receive and submit.
Yes. An offence under Section 138 is a criminal offence, although it is often resolved by payment or settlement, which the law permits.

Yes. The law now prescribes a time limit for filing claims, and courts have considered how it applies. Please seek advice as soon as possible after an accident.
