If you're searching "how to do court marriage at Tis Hazari", you're in the right place. This guide takes you from the first phone call to the moment your Form-V Marriage Certificate is in your hand — with the exact 2026 process, timing, fees, and what to expect at every step.
Two Legal Routes — Pick The Right One First
Before any paperwork, you must decide between two legal routes:
- Hindu Marriage Act 1955, Section 8 — for couples where both partners are Hindu / Sikh / Jain / Buddhist. Allows same-day registration.
- Special Marriage Act 1954 — for inter-faith, inter-caste, NRI, or any couple wanting purely civil marriage. Requires 30-day notice.
The right route depends on your religions, your timeline, and your privacy preferences. See HMA details · See SMA details.
The 7-Step Process at Tis Hazari (HMA Route)
Step 1 — Free WhatsApp Document Check (Day 0)
Send scanned copies of your Aadhaar Cards and DOB proofs to 9315198092. Our senior advocate verifies your eligibility within 30 minutes. If anything is missing or unclear, we tell you exactly what to fix.
Step 2 — Office Visit & Paperwork (Day 1 morning, 30 min)
Visit our office near Tis Hazari Court. We draft the joint affidavit of free consent, get it notarised, and prepare your application file. Bring originals + photocopies + 4 photos each.
Step 3 — Arya Samaj Vedic Ceremony (Day 1, 8:30–10 AM)
At our registered Mandir, the pandit conducts the Vedic ceremony — Mangalashtakas, Kanyadaan, Saptapadi (seven vows around the fire), Sindoor and Mangalsutra. Takes about 90 minutes.
Step 4 — Mandir Certificate (Day 1, 10:00 AM)
Mandir Marriage Certificate is stamped and signed by the priest, with temple seal. This is your religious marriage proof — the foundation document for HMA Section 8 filing.
Step 5 — SDM Tis Hazari Filing (Day 1, 11 AM–1 PM)
Our advocate accompanies you to the SDM Office on the 2nd floor of Tis Hazari Court Complex. Application + supporting documents submitted. Filing receipt issued with your file number.
Step 6 — SDM Appearance & Register Signing (Day 1, 2–4 PM)
You appear before the SDM with your 2 witnesses. The SDM verifies identities, asks a few standard questions, and you sign the official marriage register. Witnesses sign too.
Step 7 — Form-V Marriage Certificate (Day 1 evening or Day 2 morning)
The Form-V Marriage Certificate is printed, sealed by SDM Tis Hazari, and handed over. This is your legal proof of marriage, recognised across India and (after apostille) worldwide.
