Law Applicable to Marriage Registration in Gujarat
The principal State law for compulsory registration of marriages in Gujarat is the Gujarat Registration of Marriages Act, 2006. Section 4 requires marriages to be registered in accordance with the Act, while Section 5 provides for submission of a memorandum of marriage to the Registrar.
The Act separately deals with delayed submission of the marriage memorandum after thirty days, payment of fees, refusal of registration, appeals, maintenance and inspection of the marriage register, and penalties for non-compliance or false statements.
Marriage Law and Minimum Age
The registration process does not override the substantive law governing the marriage. Depending on the parties and the form of marriage, the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, Special Marriage Act, 1954 or other applicable personal law may also apply.
The Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006 defines a child for this purpose as a male who has not completed 21 years of age and a female who has not completed 18 years of age. Applicants should ensure that all legal requirements applicable to their marriage are satisfied.
Before Visiting the AMC Office
Carry the originals corresponding to the documents uploaded online. Ensure that names, dates, addresses and marriage particulars are consistent across the application and supporting documents. The portal may return an application for correction if the information or documents are incomplete or inconsistent.
