Parsi Marriage Registration
Parsi marriages are steeped in Zoroastrian tradition, especially the Ashirvad ceremony. But to make your union legally valid, it must be registered under Indian law. At Pandey & Associates, we assist Parsi couples throughout Mumbai with Parsi Marriage Registration under the Parsi Marriage & Divorce Act, 1936 — ensuring a smooth, compliant registration process.
Whether your wedding was recent or long ago, our team helps you formalize it legally with minimal fees and complete documentation support.
What is a Parsi Marriage?
A Parsi marriage is a Zoroastrian union conducted through the Ashirvad ritual, typically officiated by licensed priests (Dasturjis) in the presence of a sacred fire, family, and witnesses. Though spiritually valid, it must be registered under the Parsi Marriage & Divorce Act, 1936 to be legally recognized in India.
Governing Law: Parsi Marriage & Divorce Act, 1936
Key provisions under this Act include:
- The marriage must be performed by a licensed Parsi priest (Dasturji).
- Registration with the Registrar of Parsi Marriages is mandatory — typically within 30 days after the ceremony.
- Both spouses must be Parsi by religion.
- The legal minimum age applies: 21 years for men, 18 years for women.
Why Register a Parsi Marriage?
Registering your Parsi marriage ensures you receive:
- A government-issued marriage certificate recognized by all official institutions.
- Legal footing for passport, visa, and immigration formalities.
- Rights in property, inheritance, and succession matters.
- Support for financial, insurance, and nominee updates.
