Marriage Registration in Odisha

 

Apply Marriage Certificate in Odisha

Every marriage can be registered if that has been ethically and legally solemnized. According to the  Supreme Court of India, it is mandatory to register the marriage of every Indian no matter what their caste or tradition is.  The law that backed this provision is the Hindu Marriage Act, of 1955 and/or the Special Marriage Act, of 1954.

There is only a slight difference between the Hindu Marriage Act and the Special marriage act. The Hindu Marriage Act is applicable in cases where both husband and wife are Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, or Sikhs or where they have converted into any of these religions. But when one of them or both of them are not Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, or Sikhs the marriage is registered under the Special Marriage Act, 1954.
