Hindu Marriage Act requirements
Please note that if your marriage has been solemnized under the Hindu Marriage Act, certain essential ceremonies are
required to have been performed in order for your marriage to be valid.
You should be aware that the Department of Immigration and Citizenship assesses the validity of Hindu marriages in the
following way:
1. If a Hindu marriage is performed with all the essential ceremonies the marriage is valid.
2. If all the essential ceremonies are not performed, registration of the marriage does not in itself make the marriage
valid.
3. There are two essential ceremonies that must be performed in every case; (1) Saptapadi (taking of seven steps
jointly by the bride and bridegroom before the sacred fire) and (2) invocation before the Holy Fire.
4. Depending on the applicant’s specific customs, there may also be other essential ceremonies that must be
performed.
5. When registering the marriage, the Registrar should be provided with evidence of various ceremonies being
performed including the two essential ceremonies. Such evidence may be in the form of photographs, oral
evidence of witnesses or the priest and a video recording.
6. Where the two essential ceremonies have not been performed the Department of Immigration and Citizenship
may request an applicant to prove the validity of their marriage.
Where an applicant is not able to substantiate the validity of their marriage, their application may be refused.
