Sikh Marriage Registration

An Anand Karaj ceremony in a Gurdwara is a sacred union steeped in Sikh tradition. But to make your marriage legally valid, it must also be registered under Indian law. At Pandey & Associates, we assist Sikh couples in Mumbai with both the religious ceremony and the civil registration process — ensuring your marriage is fully recognized by government authorities. 

What is the Anand Marriage Act, 1909?

Under the Anand Marriage Act, 1909 (amended in 2012), Sikh marriages performed via Anand Karaj can be legally registered. Although the ceremony holds deep religious significance, legal registration is necessary to enforce rights related to property, inheritance, spousal benefits, and more.  

What is Anand Karaj?

  • A traditional Sikh marriage ceremony conducted in a Gurdwara by a Granthi 
  • The couple walks around the Guru Granth Sahib, reciting Lavan 
  • The spiritual ritual signifies a “blissful union” 
  • Even after the ceremony, legal registration is required for full recognition
