विवाह शपथ पत्र: यह क्या है

A Marriage Affidavit is a short sworn statement in which one spouse declares that they married a named person on a stated date and place, and explains why the declaration is being made. Offices often ask for it when updating a surname, adding a spouse to records, or as a supporting document where a marriage certificate is not yet available.

जब आपको इस दस्तावेज़ की आवश्यकता होती है

  • A woman updating her surname in a bank account, PAN or employer records after marriage is asked for a sworn declaration of marriage.
  • A spouse is being added as a nominee or dependent in insurance, provident fund or company medical cover.
  • A couple applying for marriage registration is asked by the office to submit an affidavit of marriage details.
  • A passport or visa office asks for sworn confirmation of marital status and the spouse's name.
  • A housing society, landlord or employer needs proof that two people living together are married.

इसमें क्या शामिल है

  • The deponent's name and address.
  • The name of the spouse, together with the date and place of marriage.
  • The specific purpose for which the affidavit is being made.
  • A statement that the contents are true to the deponent's knowledge and belief and nothing material is concealed.
  • A verification clause with place and date, followed by the deponent's signature.

इसे कैसे भरें, हस्ताक्षर करें और उपयोग करें

  1. Fill in the spouse's name, the date and place of marriage and your address exactly as they appear in your identity documents.
  2. State the purpose in the words used by the office that asked for the affidavit, for example a surname update in a named bank.
  3. Confirm with that office whether stamp paper is needed and of what value, and print the affidavit accordingly.
  4. Sign the affidavit in person before a notary or oath commissioner, carrying photo ID and, if available, wedding photographs or an invitation card.
  5. Submit the original to the office and keep a photocopy with your marriage records.
  6. Apply for a formal marriage certificate if you do not already have one, since many authorities prefer it to an affidavit.

संलग्न करने या रखने के लिए दस्तावेज़

  • Photo identity proof of the deponent
  • Identity proof of the spouse
  • Wedding photograph or invitation card, where the office asks for it
  • Copy of the marriage certificate, if one has been issued

इसके पीछे का कानून

A marriage affidavit is a declaration on oath sworn under the Oaths Act, 1969 before a notary, oath commissioner or magistrate. Order XIX of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 applies when it is used in civil court proceedings. It records the deponent's statement but does not register or prove the marriage in the way a certificate issued under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, the Special Marriage Act, 1954 or a state registration law does. A deliberately false declaration can lead to prosecution under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. Stamp paper requirements vary by state and purpose.

बचने के लिए आम गलतियाँ

  • Using a name spelling for the spouse that differs from their Aadhaar or passport.
  • Treating the affidavit as a substitute for marriage registration when the office specifically needs a marriage certificate.
  • Writing a vague purpose such as general use, which some offices reject.
  • Signing before going to the notary instead of in the notary's presence.

विवाह शपथ पत्र: अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

Is a marriage affidavit the same as a marriage certificate?

No. An affidavit is your own sworn statement that you are married. A marriage certificate is issued by the Registrar after the marriage is entered in the official register. Many offices accept an affidavit for limited purposes, but visa authorities, courts and many government departments usually want the certificate.

Should both husband and wife sign the marriage affidavit?

This format is signed by one spouse as the deponent. Some offices, particularly for passport or visa purposes, ask for a joint affidavit signed by both spouses with a joint photograph. Check which format the office wants before you get it notarised.

Does a marriage affidavit need stamp paper?

It depends on the state and the office. Some accept it on plain paper with notarisation, while others ask for non judicial stamp paper of a specific value. Ask the receiving office, because the wrong paper is a common reason for returning an affidavit.

Can a marriage affidavit be used to change my surname after marriage?

Many banks and employers accept a marriage affidavit, usually with the marriage certificate, to update a surname. For a passport, Passport Seva asks for the marriage certificate or a Joint Photo Declaration signed by both husband and wife (Annexure J), and a full change of name follows the separate name change procedure. For PAN, the listed proofs for a married woman include a marriage certificate, marriage invitation card, gazette publication of the name change, a passport showing the husband's name or a certificate from a gazetted officer. Educational boards and universities set their own rules, so check with them.

Can a marriage affidavit be used to prove a marriage?

It is supporting evidence of your own statement, not conclusive proof. For a Hindu marriage, Section 8 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 provides for registration to make proof easier, and says the marriage is not invalid only because it was not registered. Under Section 13 of the Special Marriage Act, 1954, the certificate entered by the Marriage Officer is conclusive evidence. Where proof matters, register the marriage and use the certificate.

What is a continuing or subsisting marriage affidavit?

It is a sworn statement that a marriage is still in existence, not just that it took place. It is asked for, for example, when a foreign spouse of an Indian citizen applies for an OCI card. Section 7A(1)(d) of the Citizenship Act, 1955 requires the marriage to be registered and to have subsisted continuously for at least two years before the application. Indian missions may ask for a joint affidavit in their own format, so check with the mission first.

Is a marriage affidavit accepted for adding a spouse's name in a passport?

Passport Seva asks for a marriage certificate or a Joint Photo Declaration signed by both husband and wife in the prescribed Annexure J format. The same choice applies when a woman changes her surname after marriage. A general marriage affidavit is not the listed document, so for passport work use Annexure J or the certificate. A full change of name after marriage follows the separate name change procedure.
