PoliticsHC Rules Hindu Rites Alone Don't Prove Hindu Marriage Act Status
The Delhi High Court ruled that performing Hindu rites alone does not conclusively prove a person is Hindu for marriage registration under the Hindu Marriage Act (HMA). The court clarified that a valid HMA marriage requires both parties to be Hindus and follow essential Hindu rites. The verdict came from a case where a Swedish woman challenged Delhi's rule requiring one spouse to be an Indian citizen for HMA registration.
