Marriage Registration New Rules: The Yogi Adityanath government has made a big change regarding marriage registration in Uttar Pradesh. From now on, at least one member of the bride and groom’s family will be required to be present at the time of marriage registration. This decision has been taken recently after the instructions of the Allahabad High Court.
The state’s Inspector General of Stamps has issued a circular regarding this new rule and it has been implemented with immediate effect. The government says that its purpose is to stop fake marriages and bring transparency in the process.
Who can be present?
According to the new rule, at the time of marriage registration, one of the parents, siblings, grandparents, maternal grandparents or adult children is required to be present. If the family is not involved in the marriage, then the Pandit, Maulvi or Pastor conducting the marriage will have to come and verify the registration himself.
Wedding video and affidavit also required
Now it will be necessary to give the entire video recording for marriage registration, which will have to be submitted in a pen drive. Along with this, it will also be mandatory to give an affidavit, in which information about the marriage and consent has to be given.
Where can registration be done?
According to the sub-registrar of Ghaziabad, now marriage registration will be possible only where the permanent address of the bride or groom’s family is. This means that now no one can go anywhere and get the marriage registered.
Crackdown on fake institutions
This step is also considered necessary because recently many cases came to light, where some institutions like Arya Samaj Mandir Trust had got the marriage done with fake documents. In Ghaziabad itself, five FIRs were registered last year, in which complaints of such cases were made.
Big decision of the court
The main reason for this change was the case of Shani Dev vs Uttar Pradesh Government. In this case, in about 150 cases, people eloped and got married under suspicious circumstances. In such cases of marriage registration, neither the family was informed, nor any legal investigation was done. The court had expressed concern that these marriages could be misused for trafficking or exploitation. After this, the government took this tough decision.
A special seal will be put
If the marriage takes place without the consent of the family, then after the registrar’s investigation, a special seal will be put on the marriage certificate, which will show that this marriage has been registered after a special investigation under the new rules.
What will change with this?
The government believes that this step will not only make the marriage process more transparent and safe, but will also stop fake marriages and cases of force. A notice of this new system has been publicly pasted in the sub-registrar office of Ghaziabad, and a separate register has also been created for such cases. Now it is clear that in Uttar Pradesh, marriage is no longer a private matter of only two people, but now the role of both the government and the family has become necessary in it.
