SDM Office Visit: Marriage Registration Wale Din Asal Mein Kya Hota Hai
Log SDM office ki visit ko pandrah minute ka kaam maan kar plan karte hain, aur yahi ek galti us din ki baaki saari galtiyon ki jad hai. Ye page us subah ko ghante-ghante kholta hai — kaun jaayega, kiske paas kya hoga, counter par ek-ek kar ke kya check hota hai, officer kya poochta hai aur jawab kaise dena hai, aur wo paanch minute ki checklist jo darwaze par khade ho kar karni hai. Ek baat pehle hi: ye koi imtihaan nahin hai. Officer sirf ye dekh raha hai ki jo kaagaz saamne hain wo aapas mein milte hain ya nahin.
Quick answer
SDM office mein marriage registration wale din kya hota hai?
Poori subah lagti hai, isliye us din koi doosra kaam mat rakhiye. Counter ek baje band hota hai — Delhi Revenue Department ek page par 10.00 a.m. se 1.00 p.m. aur doosre par 9.30 a.m. se 1.00 p.m. chhapta hai — isliye khulne ke waqt pahunchiye. Aap dono ko khud jaana hota hai, koi proxy nahin chalta, aur saath mein gawah: Hindu Marriage Act ke registration ke liye do, Special Marriage Act ke liye teen (dhara 12(2)). Har gawah apna ORIGINAL identity aur address proof laayega — photocopy ya phone ki photo nahin chalti, aur yahi us din fail hone ki sabse aam wajah hai. Counter par clerk naam, date of birth, address proof, photographs, dono ke ALAG-ALAG affidavit (Delhi joint nahin maangta), purohit ka certificate aur purani shaadi ke kaagaz check karta hai. Officer chhote sawal poochta hai — shaadi kab aur kahan hui, kaun si rasm hui, apni marzi se hui — aur dono se alag-alag bhi pooch sakta hai. Verification ke baad magistrate aage ka din tay karta hai. Nikalte waqt receipt lijiye aur uska number phone mein likh lijiye.
| Kitna time lagega | Poori subah maan kar chaliye — us din koi doosra kaam nahin |
|---|---|
| Counter band | 1 baje — 10–1 ek departmental page par, 9.30–1 doosre par |
| Kab pahunchein | Khulne ke waqt, beech mein nahin |
| Kaun jaayega | Aap DONO, khud. Koi proxy nahin, kisi bhi keemat par |
| Gawah | HMA mein DO · SMA mein TEEN (s.12(2)) |
| Gawah ke paas | ORIGINAL pehchaan AUR pata ka proof — photocopy nahin chalti |
| Extra gawah | Hamesha ek spare tay kariye — ek ke na aane se subah ruk jaati hai |
| Affidavit | Pati ka ALAG, patni ka ALAG. Delhi joint nahin maangta |
| Maa-baap zaroori? | Nahin — ladki 18+, ladka 21+ ho to koi form nahin poochta |
| Lawyer zaroori? | Nahin — kisi Act mein likha hi nahin hai |
| Sabse aam failure | Gawah photocopy le kar aa gaya |
| Officer kya dekhta hai | Kaagaz aapas mein milte hain ya nahin — bas itna |
| Nikalte waqt | Receipt lijiye, uska number aur tareekh phone mein likhiye |
| File wapas aa gayi to | Wajah LIKHWA kar lijiye, wahin us waqt |
| Call ya WhatsApp | +91 7011476967 |

Documents ki list har website par hai. Us din hota kya hai — yeh kahin nahin likha. Isliye log poori taiyaari kar ke bhi ghabraaye hue pahunchte hain: kitni der lagegi, kya poochha jayega, gawah ko kab bulaayein, kaagaz wapas ho gaya to kya karein.
Yeh page sirf usi subah ke baare mein hai. Ghante-ghante ka clock, kaun jaayega aur kiske paas kya hoga, counter par gyaarah cheezein jo ek-ek kar ke dekhi jaati hain, officer ke aath aam sawal aur unke seedhe jawab, darwaze par khade ho kar karne wali paanch minute ki checklist — aur wo das galtiyan jo hum baar-baar hote dekhte hain, jinmein se lagbhag har ek ek kaagaz hai jo ghar ki mez par reh gaya.
1. Us subah ka asli clock — ghar se nikalne se bahar aane tak
Log SDM office ki visit ko pandrah minute ka kaam maan kar plan karte hain. Yahi ek galti us din ki baaki saari galtiyon ki jad hai. Neeche wo clock hai jo hum apne clients ko dete hain.
| Samay | Kya ho raha hota hai |
|---|---|
| Raat ko pehle | Folder taiyaar, sab kuch gin kar bol kar check, dono gawahon ko message — “ORIGINAL laana hai” |
| Subah, nikalne se pehle | Paanch minute ki final checklist — section 6. Gawahon ko phone, ki wo nikal chuke hain |
| Office pahunchna | Counter ek baje band hota hai. Department ek page par 10.00–1.00 aur doosre par 9.30–1.00 chhapta hai. Khulne ke waqt pahunchiye, beech mein nahin |
| Pehla 20–40 minute | Sahi counter dhoondhna, line, aur pehli baar kaagaz dikhana |
| Verification | Clerk ek-ek kaagaz dekhta hai — naam, date of birth, address, photos, affidavit, gawahon ke original |
| Officer ke saamne | Chhote-chhote sawal, dono se alag-alag bhi. Section 4 mein poori list |
| Dastakhat | Dono ke, dono gawahon ke — Special Marriage Act mein teen gawah |
| Bahar aane se pehle | Receipt / acknowledgement lijiye, aur uspar likha number aur tareekh phone mein alag se note kar lijiye |
2. Kaun-kaun jaayega, aur kiske paas kya hoga
| Kaun | Zaroori? | Kya le kar |
|---|---|---|
| Aap dono | Haan — khud, dono. Koi proxy nahin, kisi bhi keemat par | Saare original + photocopy, photographs, apna-apna affidavit |
| Gawah | Haan — Hindu Marriage Act mein do, Special Marriage Act mein teen (dhara 12(2)) | Apna ORIGINAL identity aur address proof, photocopy, do photo |
| Ek extra gawah | Zaroori nahin, lekin hum hamesha kehte hain | Wahi sab. Ek gawah ke na aane se poori subah ruk jaati hai |
| Maa-baap | Nahin. Ladki 18+, ladka 21+ ho to kisi Act mein zaroorat nahin, koi form nahin poochta | Aana chaahein to aayein — koi rok nahin |
| Lawyer | Nahin. Kisi Act mein likha hi nahin hai | — |
| Agent / bichauliya | Nahin — aur wo aapki jagah ja bhi nahin sakta | — |
3. Counter par asal mein hota kya hai
Yeh sab kuch chhota-chhota hai, lekin koi bhi cheez atak jaye to poori file ruk jaati hai.
- Pehli nazar. Clerk dekhta hai ki file poori hai ya nahin. Adhoori file yahin wapas aa jaati hai — officer tak pahunchti bhi nahin.
- Naam ka milan. Aapke Aadhaar, 10th ki marksheet, affidavit aur application — chaaron par naam ek jaisa hona chahiye, khule hue initials samet. Yahi sabse zyada atakne wali cheez hai.
- Date of birth ka milan. School record aur Aadhaar — umar kanooni shart hai, isliye dhyan se dekha jaata hai.
- Address proof. Kam se kam ek ke apne naam par. Kai Delhi district pages shaadi se pehle aur baad dono ka pata maangte hain — alag hon to dono rakhiye.
- Affidavit. Pati ka alag, patni ka alag. Delhi joint affidavit nahin maangta, aur joint le kar jaana file wapas aane ki ek aam wajah hai.
- Ceremony ka saboot, agar mandir mein shaadi hui thi — purohit ka certificate, aur usme register entry number.
- Purani shaadi, agar thi — final divorce decree finality ke saboot ke saath (sirf photocopy nahin), ya death certificate.
- Gawahon ke original dekhe jaate hain, aur unke photo lagte hain.
- Photographs — attested, aur jitna aap soch rahe hain usse zyada le jaaiye.
- Dastakhat — dono ke aur gawahon ke, register aur form par.
- Receipt — yahi wo kaagaz hai jise log ghar aa kar kho dete hain. Uska number aur tareekh alag se phone mein likh lijiye.
4. Officer kya-kya poochta hai — aur jawab kaise dena hai
Sawal mushkil nahin hote. Log isliye ghabraate hain kyunki unhein pata nahin hota ki kya poochha jaayega. To yeh rahi list.
| Sawal | Jawab kaisa ho |
|---|---|
| “Shaadi kab aur kahan hui?” | Tareekh aur jagah — wahi jo certificate aur affidavit par likhi hai. Dono ka jawab ek hona chahiye |
| “Kaun si rasm hui?” | Seedha bataiye — havan, phere, aur saptapadi. Yahi wo rasm hai jiska naam kanoon leta hai |
| “Aap dono ka dharm?” | Sach. Yeh isliye poochha jaata hai ki kaunsa Act lagega — koi aur wajah nahin |
| “Pehle shaadi hui thi?” | Sach, aur kaagaz saath. Jhooth yahan sabse mehnga padta hai |
| “Aap kahan rehte hain?” | Wahi jo address proof par hai. Agar aap kahin aur rehte hain to pehle proof theek kariye, jawab nahin |
| “Yeh gawah aapke kaun hain?” | Jo bhi hain — dost, colleague, padosi, rishtedaar. Rishta zaroori nahin hai |
| “Shaadi apni marzi se ki hai?” | Haan. Dono se alag-alag bhi poochha ja sakta hai, aur yeh bilkul theek hai |
| “Umar kitni hai?” | Kaagaz ke hisaab se. Ladki 18+, ladka 21+ — yeh kanooni shart hai |
5. Kya le jaana hai, kya pehen kar jaana hai, aur kya NA le jaana
A. Kaagaz — original, aur saath mein photocopy
- Umar ka saboot dono ka — 10th ki marksheet, birth certificate ya passport.
- Pehchaan ka saboot dono ka — Aadhaar, passport, voter ID ya driving licence.
- Pata ka saboot — kam se kam ek ke apne naam par. Shaadi se pehle aur baad ka pata alag ho to dono.
- Passport size photographs — attested, aur zyada.
- Alag-alag affidavit — pati ka aur patni ka.
- Purohit ka certificate agar mandir mein shaadi hui — register entry number ke saath.
- Final divorce decree finality ke saboot ke saath, ya death certificate, agar pehle shaadi hui thi.
- Gawahon ke original — wo khud laayenge, lekin zimmedari aapki hai ki unhein yaad dilayein.
B. Wo cheezein jo kisi list mein nahin hoti
- Ek folder — taaki kaagaz jeb mein mud kar na jayein.
- Pen, apna. Counter par ek pen ke liye das minute jaate hain.
- Cash, thoda — har jagah digital payment nahin chalta.
- Paani aur phone charge — intezaar lamba ho sakta hai.
- Gawahon ke numbers phone mein save, taaki koi der ho to phone kar sakein.
- Kisi buzurg ke liye pehle se poochha hua intezaam, agar wo aa rahe hain.
C. Kapde
Saaf-suthre, saamanya kapde. Koi dress code nahin hai, koi niyam nahin hai. Bahut se jode shaadi wale kapdon mein aate hain kyunki photos leni hoti hain — wo bhi bilkul theek hai. Kisi ko na acha lagega na bura; officer kaagaz dekh raha hai.
6. Ghar se nikalne se pehle — paanch minute ki checklist
Yeh raat ko nahin, subah darwaze par karni hai. Paanch minute, bol kar, gin kar.
- Dono ke saare original — umar, pehchaan, pata. Haath mein uthao aur bolo.
- Photocopy ka set — alag se.
- Dono affidavit — do hain, ek nahin.
- Photographs — ginti kar lo.
- Purohit ka certificate, agar lagta hai.
- Divorce decree / death certificate, agar lagta hai.
- Dono gawahon ko phone — nikal chuke hain? Original saath hai?
- Pen, folder, cash, paani.
- Office ka pata aur phone number phone mein khula hua.
- Nikalne ka waqt — counter ek baje band hota hai, isliye khulne ke waqt pahunchna hai.
7. Us din hone wali das galtiyan
| Galti | Ilaaj |
|---|---|
| Gawah photocopy le kar aa gaya | Dono gawahon ko do baar likh kar batao — ORIGINAL, pehchaan aur pata |
| Dopahar mein pahunche | Counter ek baje band. Khulne ke waqt pahuncho |
| Usi din mandir ki ceremony bhi rakhi thi | Alag-alag din, 60 din ke andar. Yeh sabse aam planning ki galti hai |
| Joint affidavit banwa liya | Delhi alag-alag maangta hai — pati ka aur patni ka |
| Naam Aadhaar aur affidavit par alag | Jaane se pehle milao. Baad mein yeh ek naya affidavit aur ek naya din maangta hai |
| Divorce decree ki sirf photocopy | Certified copy chahiye, aur saath mein finality ka saboot |
| Ek gawah aaya hi nahin | Isi liye ek extra gawah pehle se tay karo |
| Purohit ke certificate par entry number nahin | Mandir ko phone kar ke likhwa lo — unke register mein hota hai |
| Receipt ghar aa kar kho gayi | Bahar nikalte hi uska number aur tareekh phone mein likh lo |
| Gawah gyarah baje “jaana hai” bol kar chala gaya | Bulaate waqt hi bata do ki poori subah lagegi |
8. Agar us din kuch galat ho jaye
| Kya hua | Ab kya |
|---|---|
| File wapas kar di | Wajah likhwa kar lijiye, wahin, us waqt. Bina likhi wajah ke aap sirf andaaza lagaate rahenge |
| Ek kaagaz kam nikla | Poochiye ki baaki file rakhi jayegi ya poori dobara laani hai — aur nayi date wahin le lijiye |
| Naam ka mismatch nikla | Aksar naye affidavit se sulajh jaata hai; kabhi source document theek karna padta hai, jisme hafte lagte hain |
| Address proof accept nahin hua | Poochiye kaunsa document chahiye. Jiske paas kuch apne naam par nahin hai, uske liye alag raaste hain — niche link |
| Counter band ho gaya | Aaj ka din gaya. Agli date lijiye, aur is baar khulne ke waqt pahunchiye |
| Officer ne sawal uthaya | Sach boliye aur kaagaz dikhaiye. Jhooth se chhoti si baat badi ban jaati hai |
| Koi “set karva dunga” bola | Wahan se hat jaiye. Aap chaar thake hue log hain — yahi wo pal hai jab log paise de dete hain |
| 60 din nikal gaye | Ab bhi ho jaata hai — +₹500, phir ₹1,000 penalty, jise ADM maaf kar sakta hai reasonable cause par |
9. Hum kya nahin karte
- Hum aapki jagah office nahin ja sakte, aur na koi aur ja sakta hai. Dono ka khud jaana kanooni zaroorat hai — jo koi iske paise maange, wo jhooth bech raha hai.
- Hum gawah supply nahin karte, na fees le kar na favour mein. Gawah wo hota hai jo wahan maujood tha.
- Hum office mein kisi ko “set” nahin karte, aur agar koi aapse yeh keh raha hai to hum aapko saaf bata denge ki aap kya khareed rahe hain.
- Umar kam wali file nahin lete — ladki 18+, ladka 21+, sabse pehla check.
- Backdated kaagaz nahin banate — na certificate, na affidavit.
- Jhootha address proof nahin banate.
- Dahej se juda koi kaagaz nahin — Dowry Prohibition Act 1961 ke tehat apradh hai.
- Koi court ka kaam nahin — na peshi, na protection petition, na police complaint ka jawab. Dhamki ho to aaj hi advocate kariye; yeh call usse zyada zaroori hai.
- Aur us din ke baare mein hum aapko dara kar kaam nahin denge. Zyadatar jodon ke liye yeh ek saamanya subah hoti hai, aur agar aapke kaagaz theek hain to aapko kisi ki zaroorat nahin — hum yeh phone par hi bol denge.
10. Special Marriage Act ka din bilkul alag hota hai
Ab tak is page par jo kuch likha hai wo us raaste ka hai jahan shaadi ho chuki hai aur aap use register kara rahe hain. Special Marriage Act ka din alag hai — aur jo log ye farq nahin jaante, wo galat din ke liye taiyaari kar ke aate hain.
SMA mein do din hote hain, ek nahin
| Din | Us din hota kya hai | Kaun aata hai |
|---|---|---|
| Pehla din — notice | Aap dono Marriage Officer ke saamne notice dete hain. Wo notice 30 din ke liye prakashit hota hai | Dono partners. Gawah is din nahin chahiye |
| 30 din ka intezaar | Koi aapatti aati hai ya nahin, ye dekha jaata hai. Ye window koi chhoti nahin kar sakta | Koi nahin — bas intezaar |
| Doosra din — solemnisation | Shaadi us din, wahin hoti hai — Marriage Officer ke saamne. Phir certificate par dastakhat | Dono partners aur teen gawah |
Aur ek 30 din, jo isse pehle aata hai
Dhara 5 ke tehat notice dene se pehle ek partner ko us district mein 30 din rehna hota hai. Yani do alag-alag 30 din hain, ek ke baad ek. Log dono ko ek hi samajh kar plan banate hain aur poora ek mahina kho dete hain. Raahat sirf itni hai ki ye nivaas ek partner ka chahiye, dono ka nahin.
SMA wale din par kya alag le jaana hai
- Teen gawah, har ek apne original pehchaan aur pata ke proof ke saath.
- Nivaas ka saboot — us district mein 30 din ka, us partner ke naam par.
- Koi dharmik kaagaz nahin — SMA mein koi ceremony hoti hi nahin, isliye purohit ka certificate ya havan ka saboot yahan bemani hai.
- Pehle din ki receipt — notice dene ka koi bhi acknowledgement, doosre din saath le jaiye.
11. Mandir wala din aur office wala din — ek saath kyun nahin
Ye is poore page ki sabse zyada dohrayi jaane wali salah hai, aur sabse zyada nazarandaaz ki jaane wali bhi: ceremony aur registration ek hi subah mein mat rakhiye.
Do alag clock hain
| Kya | Kitna waqt | Kaun chahiye |
|---|---|---|
| Mandir mein ceremony | Lagbhag 2–3 ghante, taiyaari aur kaagaz samet | Dono partners, do gawah, parivaar agar aa raha ho |
| SDM counter | Ek subah ki window — ek sarkari page par 10 se 1, doosre par 9:30 se 1 | Dono partners aur gawah, originals ke saath |
Do-teen ghante ki ceremony ke baad ek aisi window pakadna jo dopahar tak band ho jaati hai — ye ganit hi nahin banta. Aur agar us din counter par ek kaagaz kam nikla, to aap thake hue, shaadi ke kapdon mein, ek aur tareekh le kar lautenge.
Behtar tareeka
- Ceremony ek din — aaram se, poore parivaar ke saath, aur nikalne se pehle certificate akshar-dar-akshar padh kar, entry number le kar.
- Us shaam — certificate aur poori file ki photo, aur folder registration ke kram mein laga dena.
- Registration alag din — subah, saaf dimaag ke saath, gawahon ko ek raat pehle yaad dilaya hua.
12. Us din privacy — kaun dekhta hai, kise pata chalta hai
Ye sawal bahut jode poochhna chahte hain aur poochh nahin paate, isliye hum ise seedhe likh rahe hain.
- SDM office ek sarvajanik daftar hai. Wahan aur log bhi apne kaam se aate hain. Koi aapke maamle ka ailaan nahin karta, lekin ye koi band kamra bhi nahin hai.
- Hindu Marriage Act ke raaste par koi public notice nahin hota. Ye baat log nahin jaante — aur yahi wo ek farq hai jo bahut se jodon ke liye maayne rakhta hai.
- Special Marriage Act ke raaste par notice hota hai — 30 din ke liye. Ye kanoon ka hissa hai aur ise hataya nahin ja sakta, na fees se, na kisi jaan-pehchaan se.
- Maa-baap ko koi soochna nahin bheji jaati jahan ladki 18+ aur ladka 21+ hain. Kisi Act mein aisi koi prakriya hai hi nahin.
- Gawah aapke maamle ke maalik nahin hote. Wo sirf ye tasdeek karte hain ki jo hua wo unhone dekha. Unki koi aarthik zimmedari nahin hoti — ye dar bhi bahut aam hai aur bilkul bebuniyaad hai.
13. Us din ke baad — ghar aa kar 20 minute ka kaam
Counter se nikalte hi log rahat mein kaagaz jeb mein daal kar bhool jaate hain. Us shaam ka ye chhota kaam saalon tak kaam aata hai.
- Jo bhi kaagaz mila — receipt, acknowledgement ya certificate — use padhiye. Dono ke naam, pita ke naam, date of birth, shaadi ki tareekh aur jagah. Galti aaj ek phone call hai; chhe mahine baad ek prakriya.
- Har page ki photo kheenchiye aur kisi aise jagah rakhiye jo phone kho jaane par bhi bache — email par khud ko bhej dena sabse aasaan tareeka hai.
- Receipt number alag se likh lijiye — follow-up mein sabse pehle wahi poocha jaata hai.
- Apne saare original gin lijiye. Verification ke baad wo wapas mil jaate hain, lekin ginti counter par nahin, ghar aa kar hoti hai — aur tabhi pata chalta hai ki kuch chhoot gaya.
- Agle kadam ki tareekh likh lijiye — jo din unhone bataya, aur 60 din ki window ka hisaab.
14. Gawahon ko kya batana hai — ek message jo aap bhej sakte hain
Us din ki sabse aam gadbad gawah se judi hoti hai, aur uski wajah lagbhag hamesha ek hi hoti hai: unhein saaf saaf bataya hi nahin gaya tha ki kya laana hai. Neeche wahi message hai — jaisa hai waisa bhej dijiye.
“Bhai/Didi, [tareekh] ko [samay] baje [office ka naam] aana hai, humari shaadi ke registration mein gawah banne. 3 cheezein saath laana — (1) apna ORIGINAL Aadhaar ya voter ID ya driving licence ya passport, (2) apna pata ka proof, (3) 2 passport size photo. Sirf photocopy ya phone mein photo nahin chalegi, original chahiye. Dastakhat karne honge aur thoda time lag sakta hai, isliye subah ka time khaali rakhna. Thank you!”
Gawah ko aur kya bata dena chahiye
- Unhein khud aana hai. Koi dastakhat bhej nahin sakta, koi kisi ke badle nahin aa sakta.
- Unse kuch poochha ja sakta hai — aam taur par sirf itna ki wo aapko jaante hain aur shaadi ke baare mein waaqif hain. Koi jaanch nahin hoti.
- Koi aarthik zimmedari nahin hai. Gawah guarantor nahin hota, kisi karz ya kisi baad ke maamle ka hissa nahin banta. Ye dar bahut aam hai aur bilkul galat hai.
- Koi bhi baalig ban sakta hai — rishtedaar, dost, kisi bhi dharm ka, kisi bhi rajya ka, dono ek hi taraf ke. Kisi Act mein “neutral” gawah ki shart hai hi nahin.
- Kaun nahin ban sakta: naabaalig, aap dono mein se koi, aur koi bhi jiske paas original document nahin hai.
15. Us din kitna paisa lagta hai — line by line
Log poochhte hain “total kitna” aur unhein ek hi number bata diya jaata hai. Ek number hamesha kuch chhipata hai. Isliye yahan har cheez alag line par hai.
| Kya | Kaisa kharcha |
|---|---|
| Sarkari registration fees | Revenue Department ke page par prakashit — sau-do sau ki range mein. Do sarkari page do figures dete hain, isliye counter par confirm kijiye |
| Affidavit (do — alag-alag) | Stamp paper aur notary — mamooli |
| Photographs | Chhota, lekin zyada banwaiye — kam padna mehnga padta hai |
| Photocopy ke do set | Bahut chhota — aur ghar se banwana office ke bahar se sasta aur tez dono hai |
| Aana-jaana | Aapka apna — aur gawahon ka bhi, jise log hisaab mein nahin lete |
| Late registration (60 din ke baad) | Extended period mein +₹500, uske baad ₹1,000 penalty — jise ADM waajib wajah par maaf bhi kar sakta hai |
| Certified copies | Har copy ka apna mamooli shulk — teen-chaar ek saath le lijiye |
| Apostille (sirf videsh ke liye) | Prati document mamooli sarkari shulk |
16. Agar us din pahunchne mein deri ho jaye
Delhi ka traffic, metro ki dikkat, ya gawah ka der se aana — ye tino aam hain, aur counter ki window subah tak hi khuli rehti hai. Isliye plan traffic ke bharose nahin, margin ke bharose banaiye.
- Khulne ke waqt pahunchiye, beech mein nahin. Ek sarkari page 10 baje bataata hai aur doosra 9:30 — yani surakshit maanie 9:30, aur ghar se us hisaab se nikliye.
- Gawahon ko aadha ghanta pehle ka waqt bataiye, apne waqt se. Ye ek chhoti si chalaaki hai jo har baar kaam karti hai.
- Sab ek saath chaliye agar mumkin ho. Alag-alag nikalne par hamesha koi ek atak jaata hai, aur baaki log counter par khade intezaar karte rehte hain.
- Der ho hi gayi to kaagaz ki taiyaari aur zaroori ho jaati hai — kyunki ab ek bhi chakkar lagane ka waqt nahin bacha.
Do cheezein jo deri ko sach mein rokti hain
- Raat ko folder taiyaar — subah kuch bhi dhoondhna nahin hai. Jo jode subah folder banate hain wo lagbhag hamesha late hote hain, aur aksar kuch chhod bhi aate hain.
- Office ka raasta ek din pehle dekh lijiye — naksha par nahin, dhyaan se: kaunsa gate, kaunsa block, parking kahan. SDM ke daftar aksar bade parisar mein hote hain aur andar sahi counter dhoondhne mein bhi waqt jaata hai.
17. Frequently asked questions
20 questions we are asked most often, answered directly.
SDM office mein kitna time lagta hai?
Poori subah maan kar chaliye. Sahi counter dhoondhne aur line mein bees se chalis minute, phir verification, phir officer ke saamne, phir dastakhat aur receipt. Counter ek baje band hota hai, isliye khulne ke waqt pahunchna hi ek matra suraksha hai. Us din koi doosra kaam mat rakhiye.
Kya dono ko jaana zaroori hai?
Haan, dono ko, khud, har route par. Koi proxy kisi bhi keemat par nahin chalta. Jo koi kahe ki wo aapke bina kaam karva dega, wo ya jhooth bol raha hai ya kuch galat karne ja raha hai.
Kitne gawah le kar jaayein?
Hindu Marriage Act ke registration ke liye do. Special Marriage Act ke liye teen — dhara 12(2) ke tehat shaadi teen gawahon ki maujoodgi mein solemnise hoti hai aur dhara 13 ke tehat certificate par bhi teenon ke dastakhat hote hain. Aur hamesha ek extra gawah tay kar lijiye.
Gawah ke paas kya hona chahiye?
Apna ORIGINAL identity proof aur address proof — Aadhaar, passport, voter ID ya driving licence — saath mein photocopy aur do photo. Photocopy, scan, phone ki photo ya DigiLocker ki screen counter par nahin chalti, aur yeh us din fail hone ki sabse aam wajah hai.
Gawah kaun ho sakta hai?
Koi bhi baalig jiske paas apne original documents hon — dost, colleague, padosi, landlord ya rishtedaar. Aurat ho ya mard, koi bhi dharm, koi bhi rajya, aur dono ek hi taraf se ho sakte hain. Ek hi kasauti sach mein kaam ki hai: kya yeh aadmi das saal baad bhi mil jaayega.
Maa-baap ka jaana zaroori hai?
Nahin. Ladki 18 ya usse zyada aur ladka 21 ya usse zyada ho to kisi Act mein maa-baap ki sehmati, maujoodgi ya dastakhat nahin chahiye, aur koi form yeh poochta bhi nahin. Aana chaahein to koi rok nahin hai.
Lawyer saath le jaana chahiye?
Zaroorat nahin. Kisi Act mein lawyer ki maang nahin hai. Agar documents theek hain to aap dono khud yeh poora kaam kar sakte hain — aur hum yeh baat phone par hi bol dete hain.
Officer kya-kya poochta hai?
Chhote sawal: shaadi kab aur kahan hui, kaun si rasm hui, aap dono ka dharm, pehle shaadi hui thi ya nahin, aap kahan rehte hain, gawah aapke kaun hain, umar kitni hai, aur kya shaadi apni marzi se hui hai. Dono se alag-alag bhi poochha ja sakta hai aur yeh bilkul saamanya hai.
Sawalon ke jawab kaise dene chahiye?
Seedhe aur sach. Officer aapke kaagaz aur aapke jawab ko milata hai — jis din wo do cheezein alag nikalti hain, us din chhoti si file bada masla ban jaati hai. Agar aap dono baalig hain aur shaadi apni marzi se hui hai, to chhupane ko kuch hai bhi nahin.
Kaun si rasm ka naam lena chahiye?
Jo hui ho — havan, phere, aur saptapadi. Saptapadi ka naam isliye zaroori hai kyunki Hindu Marriage Act ki dhara 7 usi ka naam leti hai, aur uske saatve kadam par shaadi poori aur bandhankari ho jaati hai.
Kya affidavit joint bana sakte hain?
Delhi mein nahin. Pati ka alag aur patni ka alag — department ki apni document list mein 'separate affidavits from husband and wife' likha hai. Joint le kar jaana file wapas aane ki ek aam wajah hai.
Kya pehen kar jaana chahiye?
Saaf-suthre saamanya kapde. Koi dress code nahin hai. Bahut se jode shaadi wale kapdon mein aate hain kyunki photos leni hoti hain — wo bhi bilkul theek hai. Officer kaagaz dekh raha hai, kapde nahin.
Kya photo khinchwa sakte hain?
Office ke andar ke niyam jagah-jagah alag hote hain, isliye poochh lijiye. Jo zaroori hai wo mandir wali ceremony ke photos aur video hain — havan ka ek wide shot aur saptapadi ka tees second ka clip. Wahi aapki file ki sabse majboot cheez hai.
File wapas kar di to kya karein?
Wajah likhwa kar lijiye, wahin, us waqt — bina likhi wajah ke aap sirf andaaza lagate rahenge. Lagbhag hamesha teen mein se ek hoti hai: naam alag-alag documents par alag, date of birth match nahin kar rahi, ya address proof kisi aur ke naam par.
Kya file wapas aane se shaadi par asar padta hai?
Bilkul nahin. Hindu Marriage Act ki dhara 8(5) saaf kehti hai ki register mein entry na hone se shaadi ki validity par koi asar nahin padta. Wapas aayi file kaagaz ki dikkat hai, shaadi ki nahin — aur har kaagaz ki dikkat ka ilaaj hai.
Agar ek gawah nahin aa paaya?
Us din kaam nahin hoga aur nayi date leni padegi. Isi liye hum kehte hain ki booking ke din hi ek extra gawah tay kar lijiye — log bimaar padte hain aur gaadi kharaab hoti hai, aur ek gawah kam hone se chaar logon ki subah chali jaati hai.
Counter band ho gaya to?
Aaj ka din gaya — agli date lijiye aur is baar khulne ke waqt pahunchiye. Counter ek baje band hota hai aur isme koi riyayat nahin milti, chahe aap dus minute late hon.
Nikalte waqt kya lena chahiye?
Receipt ya acknowledgement, aur uspar likha number aur tareekh alag se phone mein likh lijiye. Yahi wo kaagaz hai jise log ghar aa kar kho dete hain, aur uska number baad mein sab kuch aasaan rakhta hai.
Koi 'set karva dunga' bole to?
Wahan se hat jaiye. Yahi wo pal hota hai jab log paise dete hain — chaar thake hue log, aadha din nikal chuka. Hum office mein kisi ko set nahin karte aur na hi karvate hain, aur aapko yeh saaf bata denge ki aap kya khareed rahe hain.
60 din nikal gaye hain, kya us din pareshani hogi?
Pareshani nahin, bas extra charge. Delhi (Compulsory Registration of Marriage) Order 2014 ke tehat extended period mein ₹500 atirikt aur phir ₹1,000 ka penalty lagta hai, jise Additional District Magistrate reasonable cause par maaf kar sakta hai — aur 60 din ka niyam pata na hona ek aam aur batane laayak wajah hai.
18. Real questions from couples
12 situations couples actually bring to us, with the answer we would give on the phone.
Hum bahut nervous hain. Kya koi interview hota hai?
Nahin. Yeh imtihaan nahin hai. Officer sirf yeh dekh raha hai ki jo kaagaz saamne hain wo aapas mein milte hain ya nahin. Sawal chhote hote hain — shaadi kab, kahan, kaun si rasm, apni marzi se. Sach boliye aur kaagaz dikhaiye, aur subah aaram se nikal jaayegi.
Officer ne humein alag-alag bulaya. Kya yeh koi problem hai?
Bilkul nahin, yeh saamanya hai. Dono se alag poochhna isi liye hota hai ki shaadi dono ki marzi se hui hai — aur agar aisa hai to aap dono ke jawab apne aap mil jaayenge. Ghabraane ki koi baat nahin.
Mera gawah bola wo sirf ek ghante ke liye aa sakta hai.
To use abhi bata dijiye ki poori subah lagegi, ya doosra gawah dhoondh lijiye. Gyarah baje uthkar chala jaane wala gawah utna hi bekaar hai jitna na aane wala — aur tab tak aapka aadha din ja chuka hoga.
Kya hum shaadi wale kapdon mein ja sakte hain?
Haan, aur bahut se jode jaate hain kyunki photos leni hoti hain. Koi dress code nahin hai. Bas itna dhyan rakhiye ki intezaar lamba ho sakta hai, isliye aaram ka khayal rakhiye aur paani saath rakhiye.
Officer ne poochha 'kaun si rasm hui'. Humne sirf 'shaadi hui' bola.
Agli baar saaf bataiye — havan, phere, aur saptapadi. Saptapadi ka naam isliye lena hai kyunki dhara 7 usi ka naam leti hai aur uske saatve kadam par shaadi poori hoti hai. Ye koi formality nahin, yahi wo cheez hai jo aapki shaadi ko kanoon ki nazar mein khada karti hai.
Humne joint affidavit banwa liya tha aur file wapas aa gayi.
Yeh aam galti hai aur aasaan ilaaj hai — do alag affidavit banwa lijiye, pati ka alag aur patni ka alag, aur nayi date le lijiye. Stamp paper aur notary ka kharcha nominal hai. Kuch aur galat nahin hua hai.
Divorce decree ki photocopy le gaya tha, accept nahin hui.
Certified copy chahiye, aur uske saath finality ka saboot — yani yeh ki appeal ka waqt nikal chuka hai ya appeal khaarij ho chuki hai. Court se dono ek hi chakkar mein le lijiye, kyunki doosre shehar ki court hai to dobara jaana mehnga padta hai.
Counter par kisi ne kaha ₹15,000 do, aaj hi kaam ho jayega.
Wahan se hat jaiye aur apne kaagaz saath le jaiye. Aap us waqt sabse kamzor hote hain — thake hue, aadha din nikla hua. Agar file poori hai to wo aise hi nikal jayegi; agar adhoori hai to us ₹15,000 se bhi nahin nikalegi.
Humein Aadhaar ke alawa address proof maanga gaya.
Kabhi-kabhi hota hai. Poochh lijiye ki kaunsa document chalega — Revenue Department ki list mein Voter I-Card, Ration Card, Driving Licence aur Passport jaise documents hain. Agar aap kiraye par hain aur kuch bhi apne naam par nahin hai to uske liye alag raaste hain; humein bata dijiye aur hum wo bata denge.
Humne receipt kho di. Ab kya?
Office jaa kar batayiye — record unke paas hai. Agli baar bahar nikalte hi uska number aur tareekh phone mein likh lijiye. Yeh do second ka kaam hai aur baad mein poora din bachata hai.
Us din mandir ki ceremony bhi rakhi hai. Manage ho jayega?
Hum saaf mana karenge. Ceremony khinch jaati hai, photos mein time lagta hai, koi khana khaane chala jaata hai — aur aap chaar thake hue log le kar us counter par pahunchte hain jo ek baje band ho chuka hai. Ceremony ek din, registration doosre din, 60 din ke andar.
Kya aap us din hamare saath aa sakte hain?
₹15,000 wale full process package mein hum poora kaam sambhaalte hain. ₹2,000 wale booking package mein hum file aur date tak hain, aur aap dono khud jaate hain. Lekin dono soorat mein aap dono ka khud jaana zaroori hai — yeh kanoon hai, service ki baat nahin.
Saar
- Poori subah maan kar chaliye — us din koi doosra kaam nahin. Counter ek baje band.
- Khulne ke waqt pahunchiye — 10–1 ek departmental page par, 9.30–1 doosre par.
- Dono ka khud jaana zaroori hai. Koi proxy, kisi bhi keemat par, nahin.
- Gawah: HMA mein do, SMA mein teen — sabke paas apna ORIGINAL pehchaan aur pata ka proof. Ek spare gawah hamesha.
- Affidavit alag-alag — Delhi joint nahin maangta.
- Officer ke sawal chhote hote hain — kab, kahan, kaun si rasm, apni marzi se. Dono se alag poochha ja sakta hai, aur yeh saamanya hai.
- Rasm ka naam lijiye: havan, phere, aur saptapadi — dhara 7 usi ka naam leti hai.
- Darwaze par paanch minute ki checklist — is page ki sabse kaam ki cheez.
- Nikalte waqt receipt lijiye aur uska number phone mein likhiye.
- File wapas aana shaadi par sawal nahin hai — dhara 8(5). Wajah likhwa kar lijiye, aur har dikkat ka ilaaj hai.
