Court marriage is a smart, simple, and legally valid way for couples to get married in India—especially for love marriages, inter-caste or inter-religion unions. But despite being straightforward, many couples unknowingly make mistakes that can delay or even jeopardize the marriage process.
As someone who has handled hundreds of such cases, Advocate Kunal Sharma highlights the top legal mistakes couples make during court marriage and how to avoid them.
1. Incomplete or Incorrect Documentation
One of the most common mistakes is submitting documents with errors—wrong spellings, mismatched addresses, or expired IDs.
How to Avoid:
Double-check all documents before submission. Make sure names, dates, and addresses match exactly on all proofs.
2. Ignoring the 30-Day Notice Rule
Under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, a 30-day public notice is mandatory before the marriage is solemnized. Many couples expect same-day registration.
How to Avoid:
Plan in advance and consult a legal expert like Advocate Kunal Sharma to understand the right timeline and file the notice accordingly.
3. Wrong Choice of Witnesses
Witnesses must be adults with valid government-issued IDs. Many couples bring friends who are underage or lack proper documentation.
How to Avoid:
Select witnesses who are at least 18 years old, not related to each other, and have proper ID proofs (Aadhar, Voter ID, Passport, etc.).
4. Attempting Court Marriage Without Legal Counsel
Trying to navigate the process without legal help can lead to delays, rejections, or harassment—especially in inter-religious or caste-sensitive cases.
How to Avoid:
Hire an experienced lawyer like Advocate Kunal Sharma, who knows the legal system in Jaipur and can handle everything from paperwork to police protection (if needed).
5. Not Registering Arya Samaj Marriage
Some couples go through Arya Samaj rituals but forget to get their marriage legally registered, which can cause issues in the future.
How to Avoid:
Always follow up your Arya Samaj or traditional marriage with legal registration under the appropriate Act.
✅ Bonus Tip: Keep Extra Copies of Everything
Photocopies of your ID proofs, photographs, and witness documents should be kept handy to avoid last-minute hiccups.
