This query is : Resolved
Dear Sir,
One of my client want to get Hindu Marriage Certificate from court or Registrar so that he will have legal document with him for showing the proof of marriage. Like going outside the country.
That the marriage was already solemnized with full Hindu customs under the consent of both the parents of girl and boy and the invitation card was dispersed before marriage.
So what are the documents I will take from client and which government authority will issue the Marriage Certificate as options are Court or Registrar or District Magistrate.

Sir you didn't mention to which state he belong. In U.P.Special rules have been framed. According Under Rule 4(2) Of Uttar Pradesh Hindu Marriage Registration Rules 1973 application is filed in prescribed form, before the registrar of marriage.
Following documents are required-
1- Proof of marriage as photograph.
2-Joint affidavit.
3- Proof of date of birth of both bride and bride groom.
4- Identification or certificate by a Member if Parliament/Member of State Legislature/Gazetted Officer/Pradhan/ Sarpanch/ Pramukh/President of a Local Body/Consul/Vice-Consul, as to the identity of the bridegroom and the bride and other particulars of their application.
5- three joint passport size photographs.
