Why is it called court marriage?
As the term suggests, court marriage is different from traditional marriage, which takes place in front of the officer in the court. In court marriage, 30 days time is given after which a marriage certificate is issued for the couple by the marriage officer. Moreover, necessary documents are required for the court marriage unlike traditional Hindu marriage. A court marriage is also solemnized by the government where the bride is given all the legal rights and is protected from giving dowry. That’s the reason why it is called a court marriage.
