Notice of Marriage : The procedure of court step is a 5 step process and the first
step is to file a notice of marriage. To show the intent of getting married the
notice is filed before the registrar of the marriage. There is a prescribed format
in which the notice has to be filed with the registrar in which jurisdiction either
of the parties to the marriage reside. The notice has to be filed 30 days prior to
the intending date of marriage.
2. Publication of Notice: After the filing of notice with the registrar, the notice is
published by the registrar of marriage. The notice is published at two different
places one in the district where the office of the registrar is situated and the
other in the district in which the bride and groom reside respectively. The
notice is published in a place from where it is clearly visible and the notice is
published for inviting objections to the marriage if any.
3. Objections: objection to the marriage can be raised by anyone who has reasons
to object after the notice of marriage has been published by the registrar. The
registrar after receiving the objections has to conduct an inquiry within 30 days
from the receipt of objection. If the objection to the marriage is found
reasonable and true the registrar will refuse to go ahead with the marriage and
the same will not be solemnized. However, the parties to the marriage have an
option to file an appeal against the registrar’s order of refusal before the district
court.
4. Declaration: When there is no objection has been raised to the marriage of the
intending parties then the bride and groom have to sign a declaration in which
they accept each other as their lawfully wedded spouse. Apart from bride and
groom, three witnesses also have to sign the declaration.
5. Marriage Certificate: once the declaration has been signed by the bride, groom,
witnesses and registrar, the details will be entered in the Marriage Certificate
by the registrar of marriage. Registrar will then issue this certificate of
marriage to the bride and groom which is exclusive proof of solemnization of
their marriage.
Thus, after going through the above mentioned steps, the parties to the marriage
becomes each other lawfully wedded husband and wife.
