SDM Office Aur Court Marriage Delhi: Aapki Shaadi Asal Mein Kaun Register Karta Hai
Sabse pehle woh baat jo aapka ek poora din bacha sakti hai: Delhi mein koi bhi court shaadi register nahin karta. Na Tis Hazari, na Rohini, na Saket. Sab kuch SDM ke office mein hota hai — aur wahi SDM do alag topiyan pehenta hai, Hindu Marriage Act ka Registrar aur Special Marriage Act ka Marriage Officer. Yeh farq hi tay karta hai ki aapko 30 din ka notice lagega ya nahin, do gawah chahiye ya teen, aur kaam hafton mein hoga ya do subah mein.
Quick answer
Delhi mein court marriage ka registration kaun karta hai — court ya SDM?
SDM. Delhi mein koi bhi court complex shaadi register nahin karta — na Tis Hazari, na Rohini, na Saket. Delhi Revenue Department ka apna page kehta hai ki application 'to the office of Sub-Divisional Magistrate in whose jurisdiction any of the husband or wife resides' di jaati hai, aur ki 'SDMs/ADMs/Deputy Commissioners have been authorised as Marriage Officers'. Wahi adhikari do alag bhoomikaayein nibhata hai: Hindu Marriage Act ke tehat Registrar of Marriages, jahan pehle se hui ceremony register hoti hai aur koi notice period nahin lagta aur do gawah chahiye; aur Special Marriage Act ke tehat Marriage Officer, jahan shaadi khud solemnise hoti hai, koi dharmik ceremony nahin chahiye, 30 din ka public notice kanooni hai aur teen gawah chahiye. Department ki published fees HMA ₹100 aur SMA ₹15 hain, aur Delhi (Compulsory Registration of Marriage) Order 2014 ke tehat aakhri ceremony ke 60 din ke andar apply karna hota hai.

Delhi mein court marriage ke naam par sabse zyada paisa aur din un cheezon par barbaad hote hain jo hoti hi nahin — ek court jo shaadi register karta hi nahin, ek notice jo koi hata hi nahin sakta, aur ek ‘online process’ jo har district mein ek jaisa hai hi nahin.
Yeh page us poore dhaanche ko ek jagah rakhta hai: SDM kaun hota hai aur wo aapki shaadi mein do alag kaam kaise karta hai, kis adhikari ke paas jaana hai aur kis ke paas bilkul nahin, Revenue Department ke apne do alag-alag published figures, Delhi ka 2014 Order aur uski 60 din ki limit — aur uske baad hamare teen package, do line mein, sarkari charges alag likh kar. Saath mein woh ek baat jo hum har page par dohraate hain: bahut saare jodon ko hamari zaroorat hai hi nahin, aur hum aapko yeh phone par hi bata denge.
1. “Court marriage” mein koi court hota hi nahin
Yeh pehli baat hai, aur sabse zyada log isi par galat jagah pahunch jaate hain.
“Court marriage” ek bol-chaal ka naam hai. Iska matlab hai bina bade dhoom-dhaam ke, kanooni tareeke se shaadi ka registration — ya to Hindu Marriage Act ke tehat pehle se hui ceremony ka registration, ya Special Marriage Act ke tehat seedha solemnisation. Dono SDM ke saamne hote hain. Naam mein “court” hai, jagah mein nahin.
| Soch | Asliyat |
|---|---|
| “Court marriage hai to court jaana hoga” | Nahin. SDM office — Revenue Department |
| “Judge shaadi karvata hai” | Nahin. SDM/ADM Marriage Officer ya Registrar hota hai |
| “Court complex ke bahar wale log kaam karva dete hain” | Wahan wale aapko wapas SDM office hi bhejenge — commission le kar |
| “Lawyer ke bina nahin hoga” | Kanoon mein lawyer zaroori nahin hai. Documents theek hon to aap khud kar sakte hain |
| “Stamp paper par shaadi ho jaati hai” | Bilkul nahin. Stamp paper par affidavit banta hai, shaadi nahin |
2. SDM ki do topiyan — aur yahi aapka poora timeline tay karti hai
Ek hi adhikari, ek hi building, lekin do bilkul alag kaam. Yeh farq samajh liya to aadha confusion khatam.
| Registrar of MarriagesHindu Marriage Act 1955 | Marriage OfficerSpecial Marriage Act 1954 | |
|---|---|---|
| Kya karta hai | Pehle se ho chuki shaadi ko register karta hai | Shaadi khud karvata hai (solemnise) |
| Ceremony pehle zaroori? | Haan — mandir/Arya Samaj mein saat phere ho chuke hon | Nahin — koi dharmik ceremony nahin chahiye |
| Notice period | Koi nahin | 30 din ka public notice — s.5–6, kanooni hai |
| Kaun use kar sakta hai | Dono Hindu / Buddhist / Jain / Sikh — s.2 | Koi bhi — dharm koi bhi ho, conversion ki zaroorat nahin |
| Gawah | Do | Teen — s.12(2) |
| Department ki published fee | ₹100 | ₹15 |
| Department ka published time | “Normally within 15 days” | “Normally within 60 days” |
3. SDM, ADM, DC, Tehsildar, Sub-Registrar — kaun kya karta hai
Delhi mein yeh paanch naam roz sunte hain aur roz gadbad hoti hai. Ek baar mein saaf.
| Adhikari | Aapki shaadi mein role |
|---|---|
| SDM — Sub-Divisional Magistrate | Main adhikari. Revenue Department ki page kehti hai: apply karo “to the office of Sub-Divisional Magistrate in whose jurisdiction any of the husband or wife resides” |
| ADM — Additional District Magistrate | Bhi authorised hai. Aur Delhi ke 2014 Order mein ADM hi woh adhikari hai jo ₹1,000 ka penalty maaf kar sakta hai reasonable cause par |
| DC — Deputy Commissioner | Bhi authorised. Department kehta hai kuch jagah “applicants have to apply for registration of marriage to the office of the Deputy Commissioner” |
| Tehsildar | Revenue ka kaam — zameen, records. Shaadi registration se lena-dena nahin |
| Sub-Registrar | Property ki registry. Delhi mein shaadi ka registration nahin karta — UP mein karta hai, isliye NCR walon ka confusion |
| Court / judge | Koi role nahin, jab tak koi case na ho |
4. Sarkari fees aur time — aur department khud do alag figure chhapta hai
Yeh baat koi competitor nahin likhta, kyunki yeh unke “package” ke liye asuvidhajanak hai. Hum likh rahe hain kyunki aapko counter par yahi milega.
| Ek departmental page | Doosra departmental page | |
|---|---|---|
| HMA registration fee | — | ₹100 |
| SMA fee | — | ₹15 |
| Solemnisation charge | ₹150 | — |
| Certificate kitne din mein | 14 din | HMA 15 din · SMA 60 din |
| Counter ka samay | 10.00 a.m. – 1.00 p.m. | 9.30 a.m. – 1.00 p.m. |
Aur Delhi ka 2014 Order — jo teen cheezein tay karta hai
- Registration Delhi mein compulsory hai — Delhi (Compulsory Registration of Marriage) Order, 2014.
- 60 din ke andar apply karna hai, aakhri ceremony ka din chhod kar. Uske baad extended period mein ₹500 extra, phir ₹1,000 penalty — jise ADM maaf kar sakta hai reasonable cause par.
- Tatkal ek asli, published option hai — ₹10,000 extra. Lekin yeh registration ko tez karta hai, Special Marriage Act ke 30 din ke notice ko nahin.
5. Hamare teen package — saaf-saaf, do line mein
Hum har quote do hisson mein dete hain: sarkari charges alag, hamari fees alag. Neeche jo figures hain wo hamari service fees hain. Sarkari charges upar section 4 mein hain aur wo aap seedha government ko dete hain.
| Package | Kya milta hai | Kya NAHIN milta |
|---|---|---|
| ₹6,100Arya Samaj vivah + documentation | Arya Samaj mandir mein poori vivah ceremony saptapadi ke saath · mandir ka vivah praman patra register entry number ke saath · dono taraf ke alag-alag affidavit draft aur notarise · poori document checking | Sarkari marriage certificate nahin. Uske liye alag se SDM registration karna hoga — neeche ₹15,000 wala package |
| ₹2,000SDM booking | Aapka SDM/ADM office pata karna · application taiyaar karna aur lagana · date lena · jaane se pehle poori file check — aap dono khud jaate hain | Hum aapke saath office nahin jaate, aur file mein jo kami hai use hum banate nahin — batate hain |
| ₹15,000Full SDM process | Shuru se sarkari certificate haath mein aane tak — documents, affidavits, application, date, dono visit ki taiyaari, follow-up, aur certificate collection. Chahe HMA registration ho ya Special Marriage Act ka 30-din wala raasta | Koi bhi cheez jo kanoon allow nahin karta — notice kam karna, date peeche karna, ya aapke bina kisi ko bhejna |
6. Aapke liye kaunsa package sahi hai
| Aapki sthiti | Hamari salah |
|---|---|
| Dono Hindu/Buddhist/Jain/Sikh · naam sab documents par ek jaise · ek ke naam par address proof | Aapko hamari zaroorat shayad hai hi nahin. Mandir mein shaadi kariye aur khud SDM jaa kar register kara lijiye. Hum yeh phone par bhi bol denge |
| Ceremony karani hai aur registration baad mein khud karenge | ₹6,100 — lekin 60 din ka calendar mein note kar lijiye |
| Sab documents taiyaar hain, bas date aur file chahiye | ₹2,000 |
| Kuch pata nahin, time nahin hai, sarkari certificate chahiye | ₹15,000 |
| Alag-alag dharm, koi conversion nahin karna | ₹15,000 — Special Marriage Act, 30 din ka notice. Iska koi shortcut nahin hai |
| Ek ya dono ke documents mein naam/DOB mismatch | Pehle wo theek kariye — UIDAI ya school board. Hafton lagte hain, aur koi fees ise tez nahin karti |
| Ghar walon ki taraf se dhamki ya police complaint | Aaj hi advocate kariye. Yeh documentation ka kaam nahin hai aur hum yeh file nahin lete |
7. “Sab online ho jaata hai” — kitna sach hai
Har doosri website ek chikna online flow dikhati hai. Asliyat isse dhundhli hai, aur aapko yeh pehle se pata hona chahiye.
- Delhi Revenue Department ka apna page kisi appointment system ka zikr nahin karta. Wo kehta hai documents office mein jama kariye, aur verification ke baad magistrate registration ke liye ek din tay karta hai.
- Delhi ka e-district system kai district services ke liye application lene ka zariya hai, aur practice district se district thodi alag hoti hai.
- Jo cheez kabhi online nahin hoti: aap dono ka khud jaana, aur gawahon ka apne original ID aur address proof ke saath jaana. Koi proxy nahin, kisi bhi office mein, kisi bhi price par.
8. SDM office ke baare mein das galat baatein
| Jo kaha jaata hai | Sach |
|---|---|
| “Court marriage court mein hoti hai” | SDM office mein hoti hai. Koi court complex shaadi register nahin karta |
| “Lawyer ke bina SDM baat nahin karega” | Kanoon mein lawyer zaroori nahin. Documents theek hon to aap khud kar sakte hain |
| “30 din ka notice paisa de kar hat jaata hai” | Kabhi nahin. SMA s.5–6, kanooni hai. Yeh sabse aam thagi hai |
| “Ek hi din mein sab ho jaata hai” | HMA route mein ceremony aur registration alag din hote hain. Counter 1 baje band |
| “Tatkal se shaadi jaldi ho jayegi” | Tatkal registration ka option hai — ₹10,000 — notice ka nahin |
| “Gawah office wale de denge” | Gawah aapke hone chahiye, original ID aur address proof ke saath. Hum gawah supply nahin karte |
| “Maa-baap ki permission chahiye” | Ladki 18+ aur ladka 21+ hon to kisi Act mein nahin hai, kisi form mein nahin poocha jaata |
| “Aadhaar par purana address chalega” | Yeh Delhi mein file wapas aane ka sabse aam kaaran |
| “Sarkari fees hazaaron mein hai” | Published figures sau-do sau ki range mein hain. Sirf optional ₹10,000 tatkal bada hai |
| “Ek bandaa jaa kar dono ka kaam kar sakta hai” | Dono ka khud jaana zaroori hai. Koi proxy nahin, kahin nahin |
9. Hum kya nahin karte
- Umar kam wali file nahin lete. Ladki 18 ya usse zyada, ladka 21 ya usse zyada — sabse pehle yahi check hota hai, aur koi date, fees ya family pressure ise nahin badalta.
- Backdated certificate nahin banate — na mandir ka, na koi aur. Galat tareekh wala kaagaz aapki sachchi shaadi ko jhoothi bana deta hai.
- 30 din ka notice hataane ka paisa nahin lete, kyunki wo hota hi nahin. Aur agar koi aur aapse le raha hai to hum aapko bata denge.
- Conversion arrange nahin karte taaki koi jodaa aisa raasta le sake jo unke liye khula nahin hai. UP aur Haryana mein yeh notice se bhi lamba aur khatarnaak hai.
- Jhootha address proof nahin banate taaki file kisi aur district mein chali jaye.
- Gawah supply nahin karte — na fees le kar, na favour mein. Gawah wo hota hai jo wahan maujood tha.
- Dahej se juda koi kaagaz nahin — Dowry Prohibition Act 1961 ke tehat apradh hai.
- Koi court ka kaam nahin. Na court mein peshi, na protection petition, na police complaint ka jawab. Dhamki ho to aaj hi advocate kariye — hum yeh saaf keh denge, file le kar din nahin bitayenge.
- Aur agar aapko hamari zaroorat nahin hai to hum yahi kahenge. Do eligible log, matching documents, ek address proof — aap yeh sab khud kar sakte hain.
10. Apna SDM office kaise pata karein — teen minute ka tareeka
Ye sawal lagbhag har call mein aata hai, aur iska jawab kisi list se nahin milta. Delhi 1 January 2026 se 13 district aur 39 subdivision mein baanta gaya hai, isliye internet par padi purani subdivision ki list aapko galat counter par bhej sakti hai — aur galat counter par bitaya gaya din poora din hota hai.
Niyam pehle, list baad mein
- Aavedan us SDM ke paas jaata hai “jiski jurisdiction mein pati ya patni mein se koi ek rehta hai” — Revenue Department ke apne shabd. Yani dono ka Delhi mein rehna zaroori nahin, ek kaafi hai.
- Aur jahan shaadi solemnise hui, wo jagah bhi apne aap jurisdiction deti hai. Ye doosra raasta hai jise log janta hi nahin, aur kiraye par rehne walon ke liye aksar sabse aasaan raasta yahi hota hai.
- Yani aapke paas aam taur par do ya teen vaidh office ho sakte hain — aapka pata, partner ka pata, aur solemnisation ki jagah. Aap unme se chun sakte hain.
Teen minute mein kaise tay karein
- Jo address proof aapke paas hai, uspar likha pata dekhiye — aapka, ya partner ka. Jo current aur apne naam par ho, wahi asli aadhaar hai.
- Us pate ka subdivision poochiye — apne ilaake ke SDM office ko phone kar ke, ya Delhi Revenue Department ki current list se. Purani list par bharosa mat kijiye.
- Ek hi sawal poochiye: “mera area aapke subdivision mein aata hai?” Agar jawab haan hai, aapka office mil gaya. Agar nahin, wo aam taur par sahi office ka naam bhi bata dete hain.
11. SDM office ke andar kya hota hai — aur wahan bheed kyun hoti hai
Log sochte hain SDM office ka matlab shaadi ka office hai. Aisa bilkul nahin hai, aur ye samajh lena aapki poori subah badal deta hai.
SDM ek revenue aur executive magistrate hota hai. Usi ek office mein alag-alag counter par alag-alag kaam chalte hain — certificates, revenue ke maamle, executive magistrate ke kaam, aur unme se ek counter shaadi ke registration ka. Isliye:
- Bheed aapki wajah se nahin hai. Usi building mein aur bhi kai tarah ke aavedan aa rahe hote hain. Andar ghuste hi jo line dikhti hai, zaroori nahin wo aapki line ho.
- Sabse pehla sawal guard ya reception se yahi poochiye: “marriage registration ka counter kaunsa hai?” Ye ek sawal log nahin poochte aur galat line mein ek ghanta khade rehte hain.
- Counter ka apna waqt hota hai. Revenue Department ke ek page par 10 baje se 1 baje tak likha hai aur doosre par 9:30 se 1 baje tak — dono sarkari page hain. Iska matlab saaf hai: subah jaiye, aur dopahar ke bharose bilkul mat rahiye.
- Dono partners ka khud hona zaroori hai, aur gawahon ka bhi — apne original kaagazon ke saath. Yahan koi proxy nahin chalta, kisi bhi tier mein nahin.
Wo teen cheezein jo counter par sabse zyada waqt khaati hain
| Kya hota hai | Kitna time | Bachne ka tareeka |
|---|---|---|
| Photocopy karane bahar jaana | 20–40 minute | Ghar se do set self-attested photocopy laiye |
| Photo kam padna | Aadha din ya agla din | Jitni soch rahe hain usse zyada laiye |
| Gawah ka original na hona | Poora din — dobara aana padta hai | Ek din pehle unse Aadhaar ki dono taraf ki photo maang lijiye |
12. Register mein kya darj hota hai, aur certificate ke baad kya
Registration ka asli natija kaagaz nahin hai — register ki entry hai. Certificate us entry ki nakal hai. Ye farq samajh lena aage saalon tak kaam aata hai.
- Entry sarkari record hai. Certificate kho jaye to record nahin khota — aap usi office se dobara certified copy le sakte hain.
- Isi liye entry ki detail ek baar dhyaan se padhiye — dono ke naam (khule initials samet), pita ke naam, date of birth, shaadi ki tareekh aur jagah. Us din ek minute lagta hai; baad mein correction mein hafte lagte hain.
- Certificate milte hi teen-chaar certified copies le lijiye. Bank, passport office, insurance, employer, visa — har jagah alag copy maangi jaati hai, aur baad mein dobara aana ek aur chakkar hai.
- Videshi istemaal ke liye apostille chahiye hoti hai — prati document ek mamooli sarkari shulk. Agar kisi ko India se bahar jaana hai to ye kaam jaane se pehle kar lijiye.
Certificate ke baad ka asli kaam
Certificate mil jaana ant nahin hai; uske baad wo jagahein hain jahan naam ya status badalna hota hai — passport, Aadhaar, bank, PAN, insurance, employer ka record, nominee. Ye sab apne-apne tareeke se hote hain aur inme se koi bhi SDM office ka kaam nahin hai. Hum ye bhi saaf kehte hain, kyunki log aksar maan lete hain ki service mein ye sab shaamil hoga.
13. Agar office file lene se mana kar de — aapke paas kya hai
Ye kam hota hai, lekin hota hai — aur us waqt log ya to haar maan lete hain ya kisi “jaan-pehchaan wale” ko paisa de dete hain. Dono galat raaste hain.
- Pehle poochiye ki kis cheez ki kami hai — saaf shabdon mein, aur agar ho sake to likha hua. Zyadatar “refusal” asal mein refusal hoti hi nahin; wo ek kami hoti hai jo theek ho sakti hai.
- Phir poochiye ki wo maang kis dhara ya kis order se aati hai. Ye ek sawal hai jo banayi hui maang aur asli maang ko alag kar deta hai. Asli maang ka hawala hota hai.
- Kami theek kar ke dobara jaiye. Aadhe se zyada maamle yahin khatam ho jaate hain — ek sahi affidavit, ek current address proof, ya ek gawah ka original.
- Agar phir bhi baat na bane, to ye ek prashasanik maamla hai — usi vibhaag mein upar ke adhikari ke saamne rakha jaata hai, ya zaroorat pade to kanooni salah li jaati hai. Is stage par aapko ek advocate chahiye, koi documentation service nahin — aur hum yahi kehte hain, kyunki hum litigation karte hi nahin.
14. Delhi ke bahar — NCR mein kaun register karta hai
NCR roz ke aane-jaane mein ek shehar lagta hai, lekin registration ke liye wo teen alag rajya hai — aur rajya badalte hi office, portal, form, fees aur deadline sab badal jaate hain. Kanoon wahi rehta hai; prashasan nahin.
| Aap kahan hain | Kis rajya ka niyam | Kya dhyaan rakhein |
|---|---|---|
| Delhi — 13 district, 39 subdivision (1 Jan 2026 se) | Delhi | Aavedan us SDM ke paas jiske kshetra mein koi ek partner rehta hai; solemnisation ki jagah bhi chalti hai |
| Noida, Greater Noida — Gautam Buddh Nagar | Uttar Pradesh | Alag portal aur alag office. Delhi ka koi bhi form ya fee yahan laagu nahin |
| Ghaziabad, Indirapuram, Vaishali, Vasundhara, Loni | Uttar Pradesh | Wahi UP system, lekin apna zila — Noida ka office yahan kaam nahin aata |
| Gurugram, DLF, Manesar | Haryana | Apna portal aur apni prakriya |
| Faridabad, Ballabgarh | Haryana | Wahi Haryana system, apna zila |
Jo teenon jagah bilkul ek jaisa hai
- Kanoon kendriya hai — Hindu Marriage Act 1955, Special Marriage Act 1954, Arya Marriage Validation Act 1937, aur baal vivah rokne wala kanoon. Ye rajya ke hisaab se nahin badalte.
- Umar ki shart — ladki 18 ya usse zyada, ladka 21 ya usse zyada. Har jagah wahi.
- Dono partners ka khud hona, aur gawahon ka apne original ke saath hona. Koi proxy kahin nahin chalta.
- Naam aur date of birth ka har kaagaz par milna — ye har rajya mein file rokne ki sabse badi wajah hai.
- SMA ka 30 din ka notice — har jagah, aur kahin bhi koi ise chhota nahin kar sakta.
Inter-faith jodon ke liye ek zaroori farq
Alag dharm ke jodon ke liye NCR ka naksha ek aur wajah se maayne rakhta hai. Uttar Pradesh ke 2021 ke kanoon ke tehat kanooni dharm parivartan ke liye District Magistrate ko 60 din pehle ghoshna deni hoti hai — yani us 30 din ke notice se dugna jise log conversion se bachna chahte hain. Haryana ke 2022 ke kanoon mein bhi ghoshna aur aapatti ki window hai. Delhi mein aisa koi kanoon nahin hai. Kanooni raasta har jagah ek hi hai — Special Marriage Act, jismein kisi ko dharm badalna hi nahin padta. Jo koi kahe ki conversion se waqt bachega, wo aapko lamba aur khatarnaak dono raaston par bhej raha hai, aur hum ye arrange karte hi nahin.
15. Frequently asked questions
20 questions we are asked most often, answered directly.
Delhi mein court marriage court mein hoti hai ya SDM office mein?
SDM office mein. Delhi mein koi bhi court complex shaadi register nahin karta — na Tis Hazari, na Rohini, na Saket, na Patiala House, na Dwarka Courts. Delhi Revenue Department ka apna page kehta hai ki application us Sub-Divisional Magistrate ke office mein di jaati hai jiske jurisdiction mein pati ya patni mein se koi ek rehta ho. 'Court marriage' sirf bol-chaal ka naam hai.
SDM, ADM aur Deputy Commissioner mein se kiske paas jaana hai?
Teenon authorised hain — Revenue Department ke shabdon mein, 'SDMs/ADMs/Deputy Commissioners have been authorised as Marriage Officers for this purpose', aur kuch jagah aavedan Deputy Commissioner ke office mein diya jaata hai. Jiske paas aapka area aata hai wahi aapka adhikari hai, isliye jaane se pehle phone kar ke confirm karna sabse sasta kaam hai.
Tehsildar ya Sub-Registrar shaadi register karte hain?
Delhi mein nahin. Tehsildar revenue ka kaam dekhta hai aur Sub-Registrar property ki registry. Uttar Pradesh mein marriage registration Sub-Registrar ke paas jaata hai, isliye Noida aur Ghaziabad se aane wale logon ko yeh confusion hota hai — lekin Delhi mein raasta SDM/ADM ka hi hai.
SDM ki do bhoomikaayein kya hain?
Hindu Marriage Act ke tehat wo Registrar of Marriages hai — pehle se ho chuki ceremony ko register karta hai, koi notice period nahin, do gawah. Special Marriage Act ke tehat wo Marriage Officer hai — shaadi khud solemnise karta hai, koi dharmik ceremony nahin chahiye, 30 din ka public notice lagta hai aur teen gawah chahiye. Ek hi adhikari, do bilkul alag prakriya.
Kaunsa raasta tez hai?
Agar aap dono Hindu, Buddhist, Jain ya Sikh hain to Hindu Marriage Act wala raasta — kyunki usme koi notice period hai hi nahin. Mandir mein ceremony ek subah, SDM office mein registration doosri subah, 60 din ke andar. Agar Act aap dono tak nahin pahunchta to Special Marriage Act hi raasta hai aur usme 30 din lagte hi hain.
Kya 30 din ka notice paisa de kar hataya ja sakta hai?
Nahin. Yeh Special Marriage Act ki dhara 5 aur 6 mein likha hai — kanooni hai. Na SDM, na ADM, na Deputy Commissioner, na koi agent ise chhota kar sakta hai. Jo bhi iske paise maange, wo us cheez ka paisa le raha hai jo hoti hi nahin, aur yeh is field ki sabse aam thagi hai.
Delhi mein sarkari fees kitni hai?
Revenue Department ke ek page par Hindu Marriage Act ke liye ₹100 aur Special Marriage Act ke liye ₹15 chhapa hai; doosre page par solemnisation charge ₹150 chhapa hai. Dono sarkari hain aur dono alag hain, isliye hum kehte hain counter par confirm kariye. Asli baat yeh hai ki sarkari kharcha sau-do sau ki range mein hai, hazaaron mein nahin — sirf optional tatkal ₹10,000 bada hai.
Certificate kitne din mein milta hai?
Ek departmental page 14 din kehta hai; doosra Hindu Marriage Act ke liye 'normally within 15 days' aur Special Marriage Act ke liye 'normally within 60 days' kehta hai. Yeh tab se hai jab file poori ho — adhoori file par ginti shuru hi nahin hoti.
SDM office ka samay kya hai?
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. Dono mein counter ek baje band hota hai, isliye dopahar ki visit lagbhag hamesha bekaar jaati hai — aur yahi Delhi ka sabse aam wasted trip hai.
Shaadi ke kitne din ke andar register karna hota hai?
60 din, aakhri ceremony ka din chhod kar — Delhi (Compulsory Registration of Marriage) Order, 2014. Uske baad extended period mein ₹500 extra, phir ₹1,000 ka penalty, jise Additional District Magistrate reasonable cause par maaf kar sakta hai. 60 din nikal jaana rukawat nahin hai, bas mehnga aur lamba ho jaata hai.
Mera SDM office kaunsa hai, yeh kaise pata karein?
Jahan pati ya patni mein se koi ek rehta ho, uss area ka. Lekin isse purani list se mat nikaliye — Delhi 1 January 2026 se 13 revenue districts aur 39 subdivisions mein baant diya gaya hai, to jo address 2025 mein ek subdivision mein aata tha zaroori nahin ki ab bhi wahin aaye. Phone kar ke confirm kariye, ya humein apna locality bhejiye — hum free bata denge.
Kya dono ko khud jaana padta hai?
Haan, dono ko, har route par, har office mein. Aur gawahon ko bhi khud jaana padta hai apne ORIGINAL identity aur address proof ke saath. Koi proxy kisi bhi keemat par nahin chalta, aur jo koi kahe ki wo aapke bina kaam karva dega, wo ya to jhooth bol raha hai ya kuch galat karne ja raha hai.
Kitne gawah chahiye?
Hindu Marriage Act ke registration ke liye do. Special Marriage Act ke liye teen — dhara 12(2) kehti hai ki shaadi teen gawahon ki maujoodgi mein solemnise hogi, aur dhara 13 ke tehat certificate par unhi teen ke dastakhat hote hain. Zyadatar websites yahan 'do' likh deti hain aur log 30 din ka notice kaat kar do gawah le kar pahunchte hain aur wapas bhej diye jaate hain.
Kya lawyer zaroori hai?
Nahin. Kisi Act mein lawyer ki zaroorat nahin likhi hai. Agar aap dono eligible hain, documents par naam aur date of birth ek jaise hain, aur ek ke naam par address proof hai — to aap yeh poora kaam khud kar sakte hain. Hum yeh baat phone par bhi bol dete hain, kyunki aadhe se zyada jodon ke liye yahi sach hai.
₹6,100 wale package mein kya milta hai?
Arya Samaj mandir mein poori vivah ceremony saptapadi ke saath, mandir ka vivah praman patra register entry number ke saath, dono ke alag-alag affidavit draft aur notarise, aur poori document checking. Isme sarkari marriage certificate NAHIN aata — uske liye SDM registration alag se karna hota hai.
Toh kya Arya Samaj vivah 'all India valid' hai ya nahin?
Shaadi bilkul valid hai — Hindu Marriage Act ki dhara 7 ke tehat, aur aap saatve phere par us waqt se shaadi-shuda hain, poore Bharat mein. Lekin mandir ka certificate sarkari certificate nahin hai; wo us ceremony ka record hai. Bank, passport office, embassy, insurance aur employer sarkari certificate maangte hain, jo SDM deta hai. Isiliye ₹15,000 wala package alag hai, aur isiliye Delhi mein registration compulsory bhi hai.
₹2,000 wale SDM booking package mein kya hota hai?
Hum aapka sahi SDM/ADM office pata karte hain, application taiyaar kar ke lagate hain, date lete hain, aur jaane se pehle poori file check karte hain. Aap dono khud office jaate hain. Yeh un jodon ke liye hai jinke documents pehle se theek hain aur sirf date aur sahi file chahiye.
₹15,000 wale full SDM process mein kya hota hai?
Shuru se le kar sarkari certificate haath mein aane tak — documents, affidavits, application, date, dono visit ki taiyaari, follow-up aur certificate collection. Chahe Hindu Marriage Act ka registration ho ya Special Marriage Act ka 30-din wala raasta. Isme woh kuch bhi shamil nahin hai jo kanoon allow nahin karta.
Kya sach mein sab online ho jaata hai?
Utna nahin jitna websites dikhati hain. Revenue Department ka apna page kisi appointment system ka zikr nahin karta — wo kehta hai documents office mein jama kariye aur verification ke baad magistrate registration ke liye ek din tay karta hai. District ke hisaab se practice thodi alag hoti hai. Jo cheez kabhi online nahin hoti: aap dono ka aur gawahon ka khud jaana.
Maa-baap ki ijaazat chahiye?
Nahin. Ladki 18 ya usse zyada aur ladka 21 ya usse zyada ho to kisi Act mein maa-baap ki sehmati, maujoodgi ya dastakhat ki zaroorat nahin hai, aur koi form yeh poochta bhi nahin. Hindu Marriage Act wale raaste par koi public notice bhi nahin hota — na kuch display hota hai, na kisi pate par kuch bheja jaata hai.
16. Real questions from couples
12 situations couples actually bring to us, with the answer we would give on the phone.
Main Tis Hazari court chala gaya tha, wahan kisi ne ₹40,000 maange.
Achha hua aap wahan se nikal aaye. Tis Hazari shaadi register karta hi nahin — wahan wale aapko wapas SDM office hi bhejte, commission le kar. Sarkari charges sau-do sau ki range mein hain. Apna locality bataiye, hum aapka sahi SDM office bata denge, free.
Ek agent keh raha hai 30 din ka notice wo hatwa dega, ₹25,000 mein.
Usse poochiye ki kis dhara ke tehat. Jawab nahin aayega, kyunki Special Marriage Act ki dhara 5 aur 6 mein notice likha hai aur koi adhikari use kam nahin kar sakta. Agar aap dono Hindu, Buddhist, Jain ya Sikh hain to aapko notice lagta hi nahin — Hindu Marriage Act wala raasta lijiye, bina kuch de.
Hamare documents theek hain, bas time nahin hai. Kaunsa package?
₹2,000 wala — hum office pata karke application laga denge aur date le lenge, file jaane se pehle check kar denge, aur aap dono khud chale jaana. Agar aap chahte hain ki poora kaam certificate tak hum sambhalein to ₹15,000 wala. Pehle documents bhej dijiye — ho sakta hai humein bolna pade ki aapko kisi package ki zaroorat hi nahin.
Mandir wale keh rahe hain unka certificate hi kaafi hai, SDM jaane ki zaroorat nahin.
Yeh is field ki sabse mehngi salah hai. Shaadi to valid hai — dhara 7, saatva phera — lekin mandir ka certificate ek private record hai. Jis din bank joint account maangega, ya passport par spouse ka naam chadhana hoga, ya visa lagega, tab sarkari certificate hi chalega. Aur Delhi mein registration compulsory hai, 60 din ke andar.
Hum dono alag dharm ke hain. Koi tareeka hai bina 30 din ke?
Kanooni tareeke se, nahin. Special Marriage Act hi aapka raasta hai aur usme 30 din ka notice hai. Log is waqt conversion ka rasta bechte hain — wo UP mein 60 din ki declaration maangta hai aur Haryana mein objection window, yani notice se bhi lamba, aur criminal risk alag. Hum conversion arrange nahin karte. Seedha SMA kijiye, hum saath hain.
Meri patni ka Aadhaar par address Bihar ka hai, hum dono Delhi mein rehte hain.
Chalega, agar aapke naam par Delhi ka address proof hai — application us SDM ke paas jaati hai jiske area mein pati ya patni mein se koi ek rehta ho, yani ek hi kaafi hai. Agar dono ke paas purana address hai to pehle Aadhaar update shuru kar dijiye, kyunki usme hafte lagte hain aur koi fees use tez nahin karti.
Shaadi 8 mahine pehle hui thi, register nahin karvaya. Ab kya hoga?
Ab bhi ho jayega. 60 din nikal chuke hain, to extended period ka ₹500 aur phir ₹1,000 ka penalty lag sakta 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. Asli kaam saboot ka hai: mandir ki entry, photos, purohit, gawah. Jitna der karenge utna mushkil hoga.
SDM office ne file wapas kar di, bola documents theek nahin.
Yeh lagbhag hamesha teen mein se ek wajah hoti hai: naam alag-alag documents par alag likha hai, date of birth match nahin kar rahi, ya address proof kisi aur ke naam par hai. Aap humein wapas kiya hua kaagaz aur dono ke documents bhej dijiye — hum dus minute mein bata denge ki asli dikkat kya hai aur kitna time lagega.
Gawah office wale de dete hain kya?
Kahin-kahin log yeh offer karte hain, aur hum iske khilaaf salah dete hain — aur hum khud gawah supply nahin karte, na fees le kar na favour mein. Gawah wo hota hai jo wahan maujood tha, aur paanch saal baad uski keemat sirf itni hai ki koi use dhoondh sake. Do dost jinke paas apna original Aadhaar hai, kaafi hain.
Kya hum dono ek hi din ceremony aur registration kara sakte hain?
Hum mana karenge. Counter ek baje band ho jaata hai, ceremony hamesha khinch jaati hai, photos mein time lagta hai — aur aap chaar thake hue log le kar band counter par pahunchte hain. Ceremony ek din, registration doosre din, 60 din ke andar. Yeh Delhi mein sabse aam planning ki galti hai.
Aapki fees mein sarkari charges shamil hain?
Nahin, aur hum jaan-boojh kar unhein alag rakhte hain. Sarkari charges aap seedha government ko dete hain aur wo sau-do sau ki range mein hain. Hamari fees alag line mein hoti hai — ₹6,100, ₹2,000 ya ₹15,000. Agar koi aapko ek hi milaa-jhula figure de raha hai aur todne se mana kar raha hai, wahi sabse bada warning sign hai.
Sach bataiye — kya humein aapki zaroorat hai?
Agar aap dono eligible hain, dono ke documents par naam aur date of birth bilkul ek jaise hain, aur ek ke apne naam par address proof hai — to nahin. Aap khud mandir mein shaadi kar ke khud SDM office ja kar register kara sakte hain. Documents bhej dijiye, hum aapko seedha bata denge ki aap kis category mein hain.
Saar
- Delhi mein koi court shaadi register nahin karta. Sab kuch SDM / ADM / Deputy Commissioner ke office mein.
- Us SDM ke paas jaate hain jiske area mein pati ya patni mein se koi ek rehta ho.
- Ek SDM, do topiyan: HMA ka Registrar (ceremony ke baad registration, koi notice nahin, do gawah) aur SMA ka Marriage Officer (khud solemnisation, 30 din ka notice, teen gawah).
- 30 din ka notice koi nahin hata sakta — SMA s.5–6.
- Department khud do alag figure chhapta hai — ₹100/₹15 aur ₹150; 14 din aur 15/60 din; 10–1 aur 9.30–1. Counter par confirm kijiye.
- 60 din ke andar apply — Delhi 2014 Order. Phir +₹500, phir ₹1,000 penalty jo ADM maaf kar sakta hai.

- Arya Samaj vivah poore Bharat mein valid shaadi hai — par mandir ka certificate sarkari certificate nahin hai. Bank, passport aur embassy wahi maangte hain jo SDM deta hai.
- Dono ka aur gawahon ka khud jaana zaroori hai. Koi proxy, kisi bhi keemat par, kahin nahin.
