Registration of marriages to be compulsory soon
April 12, 2012

So, that's that for Air India.

Meanwhile, if you plan to get married, get it registered. The government will bring in a bill in Parliament's Budget Session to make registration of marriages compulsory under a law for mandatory recording of births and deaths, notwithstanding one's religious affiliation, thereby providing legal protection
especially in cases of inter-religious matrimony.


The Union Cabinet today also approved introduction of the Anand Marriage Act, 1909 to provide for registration of marriages of Sikhs, fulfilling a long standing demand of the community.
