Jain Marriage Registration

Getting married in a Jain ceremony is a sacred and deeply spiritual event. But for full legal protection, it’s essential to also obtain a government-issued marriage certificate. At Pandey & Associates, we help Jain couples in Mumbai register their marriages under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 or the Special Marriage Act, 1954, depending on your circumstances.


Whether your ceremony was held in a Jain temple, at home, or another location, we provide support from documentation to Sub-Registrar appointment scheduling and follow-ups. 

What is a Jain Marriage?

A Jain marriage is a religious wedding conducted according to Jain rituals—such as Mangala Shtak, Lagna Vidhi, and often attended by Jain monks or elders. Even though a religious ceremony is valid in faith, it is not legally recognized until registered under applicable Indian marriage laws. 

Why Register a Jain Marriage?

Legal marriage registration ensures:

  • Recognized proof for all government and official purposes 
  • Eligibility for passport, visa & spouse immigration 
  • Support in banking, insurance, joint property & inheritance claims 
  • Legal backing for divorce, alimony, and succession rights 
  • Without an official certificate, your religious marriage may not carry weight in these essential legal contexts.
