Legalise Your Marriage With Liscura’s assistance

Overview Of Marriage Registration

What Is Marriage Registration?

Every couple in India should register their marriage to legalise it. Legal registration of a marriage will provide them with a marriage certificate which will help them enjoy all the legal privileges that a married couple get. If things didn't go well, marriage certificates would play an important role during legal separation. Or, If one of the partners dies, the certificate enables the partner to claim financial deposits of the deceased. So, getting a marriage registered is the smartest thing to do.

Advantages Of Marriage Registration

• Legal recognition: Registration of a marriage grants a couple legal validity and recognition. It makes the marriage a binding contract, ensuring the rights and obligations of both partners.
• Evidence for a marriage: A marriage certificate serves as proof of a union. It is often required for a number of purposes, like applying for passports, visas, or receiving government benefits.
• Protection of rights: Marriage registration protects the rights of the spouses, especially when it comes to inheritance, property ownership, and alimony. It is crucial during divorce or if either of the partners is dead.
• Prevention from fraud: Marriage registration helps in preventing fake marriages and bigamous relationships. It helps to preserve the integrity of marriages and people misusing the benefits given to married couples.
• Social acceptance: Marriage registration fosters social acceptance and social validation. It clears up any confusion regarding the marital status and strengthens the lovers' commitment from the perspective of law.
