Marriage certificate issued by kazi rejected fo pancard offi

Dear Sir/Madam,

Our marriage had been somomonized as per muslim law nd marriage certificate issued by Registered muslim kazi. The same certificate was issue for change in PAN card Application through UTIITS  as support for my wife name change along with her  Aadhaar card with name cheged afetr marraige and husbands residential address. the application was rejected as they are demanding for Govt. marriage certificate.

As per the Indian Muslim Marriage Act registration of the marriage is not compulsory. The Kazi who has performed the marriage can issue a “Nikahnama” which is a marriage certificate submitted as proof by a married women and even the nationalized banks accept the same as marriage certificate.

Government has not made any marriage registration mandatory it is optional for parties to register it or not.

Kindly send me govt marraige clause no. or rules for marriage done under muslim marriage act and certificate issued by kazi to bride is vaild. The honurable family court and supreme court had also accepted the marrige certificate performed by kazi.

Humble request for help.

Regards

1.  A marriage registered or solemnized in any other way (Hindu, Muslim or Christian rites and customs) can be registered under Special marriage Act.  You can do that  without changing your religion.  That certificate  is valid for all practical purposes.  This registration can be done even the marriage was solemnnized earlier.

2.  If the Govt. authorities are not accepting the certificate issued by Kazi, then you can approach the High Court against that Govt. authority seeking the direction that they should accept certificate issued by Kazi.
