Registering my marriage as per Hindu Marriage Act ?

I am a Muslim girl married to a Hindu Boy. The marriage happened in a temple in Bangalore and later after 3 months I got converted to Hindu religion through Arya Samaj.

I want to know whether I can register my marriage in Bangalore under Hindu Marriage Act.


Thanks in advance.

I don't think the marriage solenmized at the temple is legally valid. So to avoid confusion it is better to register the marriage under special marriage act.

If you had married at the Arya Samaj they must have given you the marriage performing certificate at their temple,take that certy with you to the registrar and both of you get registered your marriage registered.

Not so lengthy procedure its the work of minutes.

Better register under special marriage Act.

Thank u Mr.Thankachan. Can the Special marriage act can be registered on old exact date of marriage. I was told that Special marriage act can be registered on present date only is that right.

1.Yes. You will have to submit application before the register office in your area and it will be published in notice board and a copy of the same  will be sent your 'wife's' register office. After 30 days ,both of you with witnesses shall appear  before the register office to register your marriage.

2.The date marriage is the date on which you register the marriage after 30 days of notice.

This is not a Valid Hindu Marriage, as at the time of marriage, you were still a Muslim. Mere performance of Hindu Marriage Ceremony is not enough for valid marriage.

 

If you want to register it now as you have converted. Now, you can get your marriageregistered under Hindu Marriage Act or Special Marriage Act, which so ever you both choose. The marriage would be a valid marriage from the date of fresh solemnization or from the date of registration only.

The Arya Samaj has the procedure to purify anybody from othe religion to Hindu,Hence the marriage performed after that rituals the marriage is registered under hindu marriage act,and can be registered under Hindu Marriage Act.
