Marriage registration and its requirements


Marriage registry


According to the Muslim Marriage and Divorce (Registration) Act, 1974 every marriage must be registered by a government appointed Qazi. Non-registration of marriage is a punishable offence. Registration of Christian marriages is compulsory under the Christian Marriage Act of 1872. Registration in Christian marriages is a part of marriage, so almost all marriages are registered. Registration of marriage places certain responsibilities on both.


Note that there is no provision for Hindu marriage registry.


Why is marriage registration necessary?


No one can deny the fact of marriage;


If the husband remarries without the wife's permission, the wife can take legal action against the husband;


A wife can claim maintenance from her husband;


The wife can collect the dowry mentioned in the Nikah Nama; In cases where the dowry is not specified, the wife can collect the dowry of the appropriate amount;


In case of death of husband or wife, the surviving spouse can claim the legal share of the property of the deceased.


Example: Ayesha and Ghafoor got married with fanfare. But under the cover of various festivals, everyone forgets about the registration. After a few days of marriage, Ayesha and Gafur's marriage broke up and Gafur refused to pay Ayesha the dowry and maintenance she was due. If the marriage was registered, Ayesha could have easily gone to the court to collect the dowry and maintenance, but in this situation it is very difficult to collect the dowry and maintenance.


Marriage registry fee


The registry fee is determined based on the deposit amount. Currently, the registration fee is 10 taka per thousand, minimum 50 taka, maximum 4000 taka. (But the government changes the registration fee from time to time). Apart from this, the Nikah Registrar will get a commission of Tk 25 for each marriage registration and if he attends the marriage ceremony and registers, he will get Tk 1.00 (one) per mile as travel allowance. The groom usually pays the registration fee. The Nikah Registrar will issue a receipt upon deposit of the registration fee. Registration papers should be kept by both husband and wife. Otherwise, the wife cannot seek help from the court if she is in trouble.


crime


Even if the marriage takes place in the absence of the Kazi, it is a legally punishable offense not to inform the Kazi office about the marriage. The person who has completed the marriage will submit the report to the Nikah Register.


punishment


Non-registration of marriage is a punishable offence. The Muslim Marriage and Divorce (Registration) Act, 1974 (amended on March 8, 2005) provides that all marriages not performed by the Nikah Registrar shall be reported to the Nikah Registrar for the purpose of registration by the person or persons who performed the marriage. If anyone fails to comply with this rule, he will be punished with imprisonment for two years or with a fine of 3000 (three thousand) rupees or with both.


advice


Each union has one worker appointed by the government. He will register the marriage. If it is not possible to register the marriage on the day of marriage, the marriage must be registered within 30 days from the date of marriage at the office of the marriage registrar. The receipt given by the Kazi at the time of marriage registration should be collected and kept. Because if this receipt is shown while collecting Kabinnama, the Kazi does not have to pay any additional fee apart from the prescribed fee. 1.00 (Taka one) per page for each search is to be paid to the Kazi office if the receipt is not shown. Care should be taken to ensure that the marriage is recorded in the registry volume.
