Marriage registration is one of the most significant tasks in the process of a wedding. It can be handled through the Hindu Marriage Act or Special Marriage Act done by couples getting married regardless of their religions. A registration helps both partners in a marriage, either before, with issues during, or if a spouse passes away. A marriage certificate is needed to help with any official work associated to the marriage.

In India, being contingent on whether you are a Hindu or belonging to any other religion, you have to register under the Special Marriage Act or the Hindu Marriage Act. There aren’t many dissimilarities between the two forms.However, it takes a longer period of time to process a marriage under the Special Marriage Act. Secondly, if one of the marrying partners belongs to a religion other than Hinduism, the couple has to register under the Special Marriage Act.
