Registering a wedding that already happened
A temple, mandir, Arya Samaj or family wedding is a ceremony - but for legal proof you also need government registration. If the wedding was by Hindu rites, registration is usually done under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 through the Delhi e-District portal and the SDM's office, with two witnesses.
What you will need
- Proof of the ceremony, such as a wedding photograph and invitation card.
- Age, identity and address proof for both partners.
- Passport-size photographs.
- Two witnesses with photo identity proof.
- Any prior-marriage papers, if relevant.
The process and timing
Apply on edistrict.delhigovt.nic.in, fill in the marriage details, upload documents, and attend the SDM appointment with your witnesses. Hindu Marriage Act registration is usually processed in around 15 days, with the certificate issued within roughly two weeks of verification.
