No, that will be an offence if found that you have two marriage registrations.

Don't risk your future or career by indulging in such illegal activities.

Marriage once registered can not be repeated once again. If you do the same would amount to fraud.

However if there was any bona fide mistake in the certificate including the date you ca apply before the registrar fr its correction.

- As per law you cannot have two valid marriage certificates.

- Hence, legally you cannot re-register your marriage twice with the same person , because earlier your marriage is already registered and marriage certificate issued .

1. Recently I have changed the marriage date of my client who had registered her marriage as per Hindu Marriage Act without actually marrying religiously and when asked by the Marriage registrar about her date of religious marriage, had mentioned the date which was found later on to be impossible since on that date her husband was in UK as per his passport.

 

2. The date of religious marriage (sat fere)given was 21.5.2021 and the marriage was registered on 10.9.2021.

 

3.   It was found that from 01.7.2019 till 8.9.2021, the husband was in UK and it was an online affair. It was feared that while applying for Visa by the girl submitting the marriage certificate, the Consulate will find from the records that the groom was not present in India at all to marry socially and she will be black listed for ever.

 

4. An application was filed before the Registrar General of Marriage stating that their religious marriage was performed on 21.5.2019 which was told to the Registrar but he entered the year 2021 in place of 2019 in the on line form which is required to be rectified now.

 

5. The Registrar General has asked for evidence of social marriage and after great persuasion finally the marriage certificate has been issued afresh making the necessary correction.

Dear client 

Marriage registered under one Act at one State may not be allowed to register it at another State, however the marriage solemnised and registered under one Act, e.g. the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 can be got registered in the Special Marriage Act, 1954 in the same State or another State
