Supreme Court: Hindu Marriages Require Ceremonies for Legal Recognition

The Supreme Court of India has ruled that a Hindu marriage cannot be recognized under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 unless it is performed with the requisite ceremonies. The court emphasized that Hindu marriages are not mere events for song, dance, wining, and dining, or commercial transactions, but are a 'samskara' or sacrament that requires proper ceremonial observance. This clarification came as the court dealt with a plea related to the transfer of a divorce petition.
