How can I register my marriage in Bangladesh?
Is marriage registration compulsory in Bangladesh?
After independence, Bangladesh made no statutory laws exclusively dealing with Hindu personal law except the Hindu Marriage Registration Act 2012. Section 3(1) of the Act made the registration of Hindu marriages optional. However, non-registration in case of Hindu marriage is not an offence. Pertinent to note, in case of Muslim marriages, non-registration, while has no effect on the validity of the marriage itself, is still a punishable offence.
