The Hindu Marriage Act - 1955
The Hindu Marriage Act was enacted in 1955 for the marriage of Hindus.
It is through this Act that Hindu marriages and dissolutions of marriages are decided in court.
The Act applies to Hindus living in all states and Union Territories of India and to Hindus from abroad who marry in India.
Three witnesses are required when registering a marriage under the Hindu Marriage Act at the Registrar's Office.
A certificate from a religious institution to be submitted for registration of Muslim and Christian marriages is not required for registrations based on the Hindu Marriage Act. Only proof of marriage along with proof of age and residence is sufficient.
The government marriage certificate obtained under the Hindu Marriage Act will also include the caste details of the couple.
This is the marriage certificate issued by the marriage registrar's offices in India which contains more information about the couple.
It is noteworthy that the Supreme Court has expressed concern that many couples are misusing the provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act that allow divorce if one of the spouses is mentally ill or Leprosy patient.
