Any marriage without religious ceremonies of the parties or according to legal conditions and formalities according to the Special Marriage Act 1954 will be null and void. Mere doing certain ceremonies (not the essential ceremonies of Hindu marriage for Hindus) between both parties in presences of family members will be no marriage in the eye of law.

Sir,

Thanks for your reply. but still my query is unsolved. In case, they have a child in that relationship, then.......???? 

if the same person mentioned above married to someone (registered/court marriage) then he will be convicted by first lady or not?

If custom prevails then such marriage is valid but the age of boy should be 21 years as the marriage of minor is prohibited by law.

It is believed that you are all Hindu.

Confirm!

Even your customs may not accord any validity to such marriage.

Children from valid/void/voidable marriage (proved and per customs) may have rights in Father’s property.
