==Introduction==
A Marriage Certificate is the proof of registration of a marriage.
In India a marriage can be registered under either of the two marriages Act:

The parties to a Hindu Marriage should be unmarried or divorced, or if previously married, the spouse by that marriage should not be alive. In addition, the parties should be physically and mentally healthy and must not be related in a way prohibited by the Law.
