Court marriage sunne mein simple lagti hai, lekin jo baatein agents aksar chhupa lete hain, wahi baad mein couples ke liye serious legal trouble ban jaati hain. Neeche woh hidden legal risks explain kiye ja rahe hain jo ads aur agents ke promises mein kabhi clearly nahi bataye jaate.
1. “Same Day Court Marriage” – Aadhoora Sach
Most agents “same day court marriage” bolkar logon ko attract karte hain.
Reality:
- Special Marriage Act (Delhi mein) ke under minimum 30 days notice compulsory hota hai.
- Same day jo hota hai, wo aksar Arya Samaj marriage ya Nikah only hota hai, court marriage complete nahi.
- Agar SMA registration nahi hui, to legally aap husband-wife prove karne mein problem face kar sakte hain.
2. Notice Period ke Risks Kabhi Bataye Nahi Jaate
Agents notice file karwa dete hain, lekin ye nahi batate ki:
- Notice publicly display hota hai
- Parents, relatives ya kisi bhi objection ke wajah se police inquiry ya delay ho sakta hai
- Inter-caste / inter-faith cases mein objection ka risk zyada hota hai
3. Age & Documents ka Half Truth
Agents kehte hain “sab manage ho jaayega”, lekin:
- Boy 21 se kam / girl 18 se kam hui → marriage voidable + criminal consequences
- Fake address / fake residence proof → future mein marriage cancellation, FIR ya court dispute
- Galat affidavit → perjury (झूठा शपथपत्र) ka risk
4. Witnesses ki Legal Value Ignore Karwa Di Jaati Hai
Agents khud ke “professional witnesses” arrange kar dete hain.
Problem ye hai ki:
- Aage chal kar agar dispute hua,
- Ye witnesses hostile ho jaate hain ya milte hi nahi
- Court mein credibility par question uthta hai
5. Interfaith Marriage mein Conversion ka Grey Area
Kuch agents bolte hain: “Conversion kar lo, problem khatam.”
Truth:
- Forced ya paper conversion par High Court & Supreme Court strict view leti hain
- Conversion genuine na hua to marriage validity challenge ho sakti hai
- Protection petition mein bhi doubt create hota hai
6. Protection Petition – Guarantee Nahi Hoti
Agents bolte hain “High Court protection mil jaayegi.”
Reality:
- Protection facts, threat perception aur legality par depend karti hai
- Agar documents weak hain ya marriage legally incomplete hai, petition reject bhi ho sakti hai
7. Future Legal Problems ka Zikr Nahi
Agents sirf marriage complete karne tak ka sochte hain, lekin ye nahi batate:
- Maintenance, inheritance, child legitimacy
- Passport, visa, bank, PF, nomination issues
- Police verification ke time complications
8. Accountability Zero Hoti Hai
Marriage ke baad:
- Agent gayab
- Koi legal responsibility nahi
- Court case hua to lawyer aapko alag se dhundhna padta hai
Final Reality Check
Court marriage ek legal process hai, event management nahi.
Jo cheez agent “simple formalities” bolkar skip karwata hai, wahi baad mein High Court tak le ja sakti hai.
Advice:
- Hamesha process samajhne ke baad decision lein
- Written clarity rakhein: kis Act ke under marriage ho rahi hai
- Sirf agent par nahi, qualified court marriage lawyer par bharosa karein
