In India, while a religious marriage ceremony is considered valid, it is important to get the marriage registered under the relevant law to avoid any legal complications in the future. If a marriage is unregistered, it can create various legal and practical problems, such as lack of legal recognition, property rights issues, difficulties in claiming social security benefits, and complications in child custody matters.
Lack of legal recognition is a major problem that arises when a marriage is not registered. A registration certificate serves as legal proof of marriage, which is required for various legal purposes, such as applying for a passport, visa, or for claiming social security benefits. Without a registration certificate, it may be difficult to prove the existence of a valid marriage, and this can create problems in the future.
Another major consequence of an unregistered marriage is the potential property rights issues. In case of any disputes or in case of the death of one of the spouses, it may be difficult to establish the right to property without a registration certificate. The absence of a registration certificate can make it difficult to prove the existence of a valid marriage and the legal rights of the spouses.
An unregistered marriage can also create difficulties in claiming social security benefits that are available to married couples, such as pension, health insurance, or survivor benefits. Without a registration certificate, it may be difficult to establish the marital status of the individuals and claim the benefits that are available to married couples.
In case of a separation or divorce, an unregistered marriage can create complications in determining the custody of children. Without a registration certificate, it may be difficult to establish the legal rights of the spouses and the custody of the children. This can create further legal complications and emotional stress for the parties involved.
In conclusion, it is important to register a marriage under the relevant law to avoid any legal and practical consequences in the future. Marriage registration not only provides legal recognition but also protects the rights of the parties involved and helps to avoid any legal disputes.
