Up In order to prevent disturbances and forgery in the process of marriage registration, the High Court has issued strict guidelines along with the Department of Stamp and Registration. Now marriage will be registered only in the district where the bride or groom will be permanent resident. In addition, the unregistered rent agreement will also no longer be considered valid. The purpose of these rules is not only to make the process of marriage registration transparent, but also the prevention of illegal and fake weddings.
New rules in marriage registration – marriage registration process will be done without family
Earlier, where the documents of the bride and groom were often considered sufficient for marriage registration, now the law has further strengthened this process. In cases where no family member will be present, it will be mandatory to give affidavit to the marriage -ending person. Also, the registrar of marriage will also have to be present during marriage registration. This means that if the marriage is in the presence of family members, then the presence of the marriage person will not be necessary, but when the family is absent, then the marriage person will be responsible for registration.
Black world of racket for couples fleeing from home – Fake wedding is active in many big cities of UP
There are many rackets active in major cities like Ghaziabad, Noida, Prayagraj, Kanpur, Lucknow, Meerut who get the youth who run away from the house without family consent. These rackets not only get the youth married in a deception, but also manipulate the government records by making fake certificates and documents. In particular, a fake certificate of marriage of Arya Samaj is made and the bride and groom of other states are registered in the cities of UP. This entire process is illegal and it not only affects the legal system but also causes major problems in the lives of the youth.
Age verification mandatory – big step to stop illegal marriage
During marriage registration, the age of both the bride and groom will be strictly verified. This will help reduce the incidence of minor marriage. No marriage will be registered without the correct confirmation of age. This step is considered a major achievement to prevent increasing minor wedding events in Uttar Pradesh.
Importance of change in marriage registration rules from political and social perspective
It was very important to bring the process of marriage registration into a transparent and legal realm in a large and diverse state like Uttar Pradesh. Many times marriages have been reported to be forgery, fake documents, and marriage without the will of the family, causing social and legal problems. These new guidelines of the High Court will not only control such cases but will also reduce family disputes and fraud cases.
Responsibility of marriages
The responsibility of the marriage ceremony has been increased under the new guidelines. If family members are not present, the marriage person will have to give affidavit and the presence of the registrar will be mandatory. This will make it easier for legal action against the marriage of the marriage. This step is considered important to bring transparency in the marriage registration process.
New guidelines for marriage registration in the state: unregistered rent agreement will not run
The Uttar Pradesh government has also clarified for marriage registration that the unregistered rent agreement will not be considered a valid basis for marriage registration. Earlier there were many such cases where registration was done by showing fake addresses for marriage, but now this provision will help prevent this forgery.
Messages and legal awareness for youth
Cases of couples fleeing from home are often due to the compulsion of the youth or the objection of the family, but such marriage does not provide legal protection. Therefore, it is very important to establish dialogue between both family and society and motivate the youth to marry in a legal way. The new law is a strong message in this direction that marriage should not just be the name of love but also legally strengthened.
Efforts to maintain social balance due to improvement in legal system
Marriage is an important institution of society, and it is also necessary for social balance to bring transparency in its registration process. Following the instructions of the UP High Court, now cases of fraud, false certificates, and fake registration will be reduced in the name of marriage. Also, this system will ensure that marriage is done only in a valid and certified manner.
