If the arranged marriage conducted in some temple or such local authority authorised marriage mandapams,they get their marriage register signed by both husband and wife with witnesses.Then they issue a marriage certificate with which they have to apply to the local civil authority in special forms within 15 days of the marriage.The Civil authority again after obtaining witnesse's signatures issue proper Marriage Certificate in Rs 10 INDIA NON JUDICIAL Security Form.which is valid in any court of law.
Mind, this is all, if within 15 days after marriage applied for only.
If the time lapsed,your option is the only help.Application for Marriage Registration Under Special Marriage Act.1954,Section 11, a declaration has to be made by both married couples to the Sub Registrar of the zila with two witnesses.(there is no time limit as it is)They will put this in their notice board(publish) for 30days.If no body comes with any objection within this 30 days,both are required to be present with the old witnesses in front of the Sub Registrar and sign in their record book as married and are now onwards husband and wife.He will issue a Marriage Certificate in Rs.10 INDIA NON JUDICIAL Security Stamped Paper as per Special Marriage Act,1954(43 of 1954),THE FIFITH SCHEDULE(section 16).This also bears the same validity as of the 1st stated by me.Thus, what I meant to say, that is, both are authentic only, in any cort of law.To settle the marriage related disputes any one is a must. So,all marriages are to be registerd.Now it is a Law in force.
