Process Of Registering Marriage In The Uk

[Guest .....]

Could anyone please explain the process of formally registering a Sikh marriage? What is the usual practice? After reading the government's guidance I am more confused than before as it seems very complicated.

Also, can you register at engagement or does the Anand Karaj have to have been performed?

I would appreciate any help from those that have been through this process.

Congratulations on your engadgment and the upcoming wedding!

Engadgements aren't registered, only marriages are.

I'm guessing that you are only engadged and still to be married?

Essentially you have two options, you have a registry wedding at the local registry office. And you recieve a Marriage certificate. You dont need to do anything else.

Or alternatively you have a represntative attend the Anand Karaj, and you sign the legagl documentation prior to your Anand Karaj, at the Gurdwara, you recieve your mariage certificate, and again you need do no more.
