Validity of Hindu Marriage Ceremonies is based on section 7 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, read it:-


Ceremonies for a Hindu marriage.-(1) A Hindu marriage may be solemnized in accordance with the customary rites and ceremonies of either party thereto.





(2) Where such rites and ceremonies include the saptapadi (that is, the taking of seven steps by the bridegroom and the bride jointly before the sacred fire), the marriage becomes complete and binding when the seventh step is taken.


The Hindu marriage has to be solemnized according to the customary rites %26amp; ceremonies of any one of the party, so what has to be checked in the present case what were the necessary customary rites %26amp; ceremonies of both these two parties. Whether mere exchange of garland %26amp; putting golden chain with mangalsutra sufficient marriage ceremonies for any of them or not. Second question which has to be checked is if the rites and ceremonies include the saptapadi (that is, the taking of seven steps by the bridegroom and the bride jointly before the sacred fire) in case of any of these two parties. What I can presume this being a marriage between both or one of the south Indian person %26amp; as far my information goes the marriage ceremonies in certain group of people in southern or other part of India the ceremony of Satapadi doesn't exist, this however does not mean in that case their Hindu Marriages ceremonies are not valid if other required necessary marriage ceremonies applicable to both or one of the party has been preformed which will bind both of them in a legal marriage. In North Indian Marriages between Hindus the necessary ceremonies include Homa/Havan, Panigrahan %26amp; Saptapadi. Unless the complete history of the Hindu Marriage applicable to the parties in question is checked confirming that whatever ceremonies were performed between was legally sufficient for the valid marriage between them, no further comments can be passed on such marriage %26amp; its legal validity. None registration of Hindu Marriage does not invalidate the marriage in any case hence this plea that the marriage was not registered with the registrar of marriages under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 or any other relevant matrimonial registration Act won't get any relief for assuming it invalid marriage on this ground only.My friends marriage was conducted in a hindu temple by putting goldchain with mangalsutra %26amp; exchanging garland?
Not under the law it isn't, but its my opinion that when two people love and are totally each others, in God's eyes and in their heart they are. That doesn't make a difference to probate courts if one of them dies or other things that matter if your single or married. Only a legal license will make it lawful.
well Im a bit confused...............I dnt know much, but what I feel is, temple marraige witnesses are not much strong ...... in case any legal issues arise...i feel that a registration, I mean marraige registration is issential.............and what abt in the long run? if the marraige is not registerred then........SHE will not be able to have any demand on her husband's properties, and then SHE will not be regarded as HIS wife.
Marriage is valid.


Marriage can be registered any time.


It is always advisable to get registered the marriage.
Under hindu marriage act it is valid , there may be witness for thsi marriage and some photographs , that's all it will take to prove this marriage.
in hindu, this is called as marriage, this marriage is valid (they will be having photos %26amp; videos)
Valid. But difficult to prove. Better get regd
consult an advocate
if it ain't registered, it is just a show.
