You can get certified copy of it from the concerned Marriage Officer or Office of the Registrar of Marriage in your State.

Ya we applied to the concerned marriage registrar but the records books with them are destroyed. so they are not able to give us .Is there any way we can ask the officer to issue us Non availability of marriage certificate.
Can we put a petition in court to issue us a marriage certificate with some witnesses who attended my parents wedding.

Yes they gave us the tornes pieces of the books which have been destroyed and said that they cannot help us. so we have to ask them for NACM - Non availability certificate for marriage and then we can file petition . will petition in court help us for getting marriage certificate.
Or after get the court order we need give it to registrar to make a records in thier books and issue us a marriage certificate.

If they have weeded out the records they must give you at least certificate of weeding as well as rules of weeding.I think it is permanent record of which no weeding should have taken place.
Court case would not be for granting certificate of marriage.
One parent already dead against whom the suit would be filed?
A declaratory suit against the person denying or demanding marriage certificate
could be filed by the parent alive for relief to the effect that it be declared that plaintiff( he/or she) was married with deceased so and so.
Then one who is demanding marriage certificate would be bound by the decree so passed and shall not demand any certificate of marriage.
Visit a local civil lawyer and discuss the issue in the line guided here and file the suit accordingly.

Here My mother is dead. And we children want the marriage certificate to prove that we are children .We need the marriage certificate for Legal purpose. But when we approached the marriage registrar they say that the records they had were destroyed. So we want a letter from the marriage registrar stating that the records have been lost?destroyed.
Now question is if My father put a petition in court the it would be for making a note that my parents were married to each other and the marriage was solemnised in the said registrar.
Is it possible to do that ?? or is there any other way out ..
I Know that the marriage registrar should have preserved the records carefully.
The local lawyer said that get some witnesses and we can apply to the court.
Thanks in advance. Responses and Advices much appreciated.

with the evidecne of photo, invitation and if any other doucments related to the same will be helpful to get back. if it held in the marriage hall then they have maintained the records too, so get all details and file in court. you get the solution.

My Dear Sankar narayanan!
It is a very old case of marriage when even registrar has weeded out his register of marriage it is harsh to believe or expect there would be still "invitation cards"?
If i am wrong you are free to amend me.
Adducing oral evidence is the only course to prove this marriage may be coupled with joint photo graphs.Remember those were not the days we experience these days.
My last request to you is that my intention is pious to guide you and not to confront with you.

Thank You very Much for the Replies.
My mother was born in 1951 and her Birth certificates are still available and my parents marriage was in may 1977
the record book is there till 21st april 1977 but from that date to next few years the books are been destroyed..All pages torned into pieces. WE even found one piece where my fathers name address his fathers name and occupation is there .
We do have marriage invitation card of my parents and their marriage photographs but they are balack and white.
And the marriage card is bit torne. But all the details of the wedding and palce and time and who did the wedding is still there.
I think with the help of witnesses and other supporting documents and photos i should be able to get the marriage certificate. Please Guide me if I am wrong ..
Thank You.
