Sikh Marriage Registration in Thane

For over a hundred years, Sikhs were made to register their marriages under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, as the Anand Marriage Act (for Sikhs) initiated during the British era of 1909, had not been implemented. This had deeply troubled many members of the Sikh community especially those who had moved abroad, as, while they identified as Sikh, their marriages were registered as Hindu. However, now they can choose to register their marriage under the Anand Marriage Act.Sikh marriages, being a holy union considered sacrament, are performed with the blessing of the Guru Granth Sahib as per Sikh Rehat Maryada are governed by the Anand Marriage (Amendment) Act, 2012.
