Deepu Yadav Delhi

Full Bio

From Ballia to Delhi: A Founder Built by Discipline

Deepu Yadav's journey began in Pitambra village, Ballia, Uttar Pradesh, where he was born and raised. In 2017, at around the age of 15, he came to Delhi alone with a dream and the courage to build a serious future from the ground up. That decision became the foundation of the Deepu Yadav Delhi story: ambition, responsibility, and practical action.

His entrepreneurial instinct appeared early. In 2021, while still in 10th standard, he opened his first ever business, a Computer Education Center, co-founded with his science teacher Mr. Ranjeet from Bihar. The center ran successfully for four years until 2025, proving that his business discipline started during school, not after comfort or certainty arrived.

After that, Deepu built Sukoon Pad, a sanitary pad manufacturing company started from absolute zero, showing his ability to enter manufacturing and FMCG with courage. He then created PUREDEEP Milk, scaled it successfully, and handed it to his family after one year, completing a full business lifecycle. His next venture was a Delhi bike transport company, operated in an Ola and Uber-style model with 10 drivers across the city. These ventures shaped him into a serial entrepreneur Delhi clients could recognize as practical, resilient, and execution-focused.

Since 2023, his main work has been the court marriage and Arya Samaj marriage service in Delhi. Two dates matter here and they are different things: the Arya Samaj Mandir has been registered and performing Vedic marriages since 1998, while Deepu Yadav has been running this service since 2023. Where this website says “since 1998” it means the institution; where it says 2023 it means the management. Both are stated plainly rather than merged into one flattering number.

On that footing he works with a full legal team of senior advocates, junior advocates and associates, from offices around Rohini Court, Rohini Sector 18 and Rohini Sector 35. He is pursuing an LLB, expected to complete in 2029, and does legal practice under a senior Advocate at Rohini Court. He is not an enrolled advocate, and this website will not imply that he is — what that exposure gives him is a working understanding of procedure from the academic, operational and client sides at once.

Today, as a court marriage expert Delhi couples trust, Deepu is building his most ambitious project: MaraVakil.com. As founder MaraVakil, his vision is to create a national legal-tech platform connecting advocates and clients with verified access, transparent pricing, case management, documentation, and payments.

In Detail

The Mandir Since 1998, and His Own Part Since 2023

A reader who moves around this website will find two different dates, and the distinction between them matters enough to state it plainly rather than leave it to be worked out.

The Arya Samaj Mandir has been registered and performing Vedic marriages since 1998. That is the institution. It existed, performed rites, issued its certificates and kept its register for a quarter of a century before any of the people writing this website had anything to do with it. When a page on this site says "since 1998", that is what it refers to: the mandir and its unbroken practice, not any individual.

Deepu Yadav has been running the court marriage and Arya Samaj marriage service since 2023. That is the management. The way enquiries are answered, the way fees are published, the way a file is built before anybody travels, the way this website is written — those are from 2023 onward and they are his responsibility, not the institution's.

Both statements are true at once, and neither is a dressed-up version of the other. An old institution under newer management is an ordinary arrangement, in this trade and in most others. What is not ordinary — and what this page exists partly to correct — is a website that prints one number in its footer and a different one on its founder page and leaves a reader to guess which is the lie. Neither is a lie. They are two facts about two different things.

Why spell it out at all? Because the single most common way a marriage service misleads people is by borrowing an institution's age for a person's experience. "Twenty-five years of experience" sounds like twenty-five years of the person you are speaking to. Very often it means the building. A couple deciding whom to trust with a document they will produce for the rest of their lives is entitled to know which of the two they are being offered, so this website says both and lets the reader weigh them.

And it cuts the other way too. The mandir's long practice is a genuine advantage — an old register, a settled way of performing the rites, a known address. Newer management is also a genuine advantage in a different direction: published fees, a written refusals list, statutes quoted from their own text, and somebody who answers the phone himself. Neither replaces the other, and a reader is better served by having both described than by having one of them inflated.

What He Is, and What He Is Not

This is the section most founder pages do not have, and it is the one a careful reader should want first.

Deepu Yadav is not an enrolled advocate. He is pursuing an LLB, expected to complete in 2029, and he does legal practice under a senior Advocate at Rohini Court. That is practical exposure to procedure and it is worth something real — but it is not enrolment, it is not a licence to appear for you, and this website will not imply otherwise. Where you read "Deepu Yadav Advocate Delhi" as a search phrase on this page, it is there because people type it, and the honest answer to it is the one in this paragraph.

Nothing on this website is legal advice. Not the statute sections, not the Q&A answers, not the guides that run to eight thousand words each. They are a marriage service's working notes on the provisions its own clients keep running into, written down so that a couple can read them weeks before a date rather than hear about them at a counter. Where a situation genuinely turns on a point of law, the right half-hour is an advocate's, and we say so on the page rather than after the money.

What he is, is the person responsible for this service. He takes the calls, he decides what the service will and will not do, he sets the fees that are published, and when something on this website is wrong he is the one who has to fix it. That is a narrower claim than most founder pages make, and it is the one that can actually be checked.

What the legal team is. Senior advocates, junior advocates and associates who handle the parts of a file that belong to an advocate. A client is told which part of their matter is being handled by whom. Where a matter is outside what this service does at all — a dispute, a property question, a refused claim, a maintenance matter — the honest answer is that it needs an advocate engaged for that purpose, and that answer is given on the first call, free, including when it ends the conversation.

What Being Founder-Led Actually Means on Your File

"Personal founder attention" is a phrase on a thousand websites and usually means nothing. Here is what it is supposed to mean in practice, so that a client can tell whether it happened.

You get an answer on the first call, not a callback. Which route applies to you, what this service charges for it, and what the government collects separately — all three on the first call. Nothing is held back to be revealed once you have travelled somewhere.

The awkward answers are given by the person who loses money on them. "Your file belongs in your home state." "What you need is an advocate, not a marriage service." "The route you assumed is not the one that applies to you." Those three sentences cost this business work every week. A salaried person relaying them has no incentive to say them. The person whose business it is does it anyway, or the whole claim of being founder-led is decoration.

A refusal is not escalated, negotiated or quietly worked around. The list in the next section is decided at the top and applies at the bottom. Nobody on this team has the authority to arrange a witness, move a date, or take a one-party file, because the person who would have to authorise it does not.

An error on this website comes to him. If you find a section misquoted, a figure out of date, or a statement that is simply wrong, telephone and say so. It gets checked and corrected, and nobody argues with you about it. That is the only accountability claim on this page that costs anything to honour, which is why it is the one worth making.

What He Refuses — the Complete List, Personally

Everything below is refused consistently, to everybody, at any price. It is listed here on the founder page rather than only in the guides because a refusals list means nothing unless somebody's name is attached to it.

Witnesses are never supplied. Not paid for, not obliged as a kindness, not handled discreetly on the side. The two names on your file have to be people of yours who were genuinely in the room. Put a stranger's signature on that certificate and you have engineered a flaw into it on purpose — one that surfaces at the single worst moment, typically a decade or more later, across a desk from somebody assessing a pension or a claim. If any other office makes you that offer, turn it down, and we tell couples exactly that.

No invented date. Nothing gets backdated here, and the sympathy of the reason makes no difference to the answer. Section 236 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita makes an untrue declaration that is receivable in evidence a criminal matter — and the signature at the bottom of that declaration is the couple's, never the agent's who talked them into it.

No certificate produced with one of you missing. Where the law wants both of you present, both of you turn up, in person. India has no provision for marrying by proxy, and there is no clever arrangement that gets round the two of you being in the room.

No ceremony where one party is clearly not willing. That includes the quiet ones, the ones who hesitate, and the ones whose answers keep arriving in a relative's voice. Section 5(ii) of the Hindu Marriage Act makes willingness a condition of the marriage being valid at all — and it would be the right line to hold even if no statute said so. Bookings already paid for have ended on this point.

No file involving anybody below the legal age. No fee changes it, no pressure changes it, and no bundle of documents changes it. On this one there is no conversation to be had.

No promise about what any officer, court or committee will do. Anybody in this trade who guarantees an outcome, a shortened statutory period, or an arrangement with an official is either mistaken or selling you something. The thirty-day notice under the Special Marriage Act sits in the Act itself; no fee, venue or intermediary shortens it.

No conversion proposed, and none organised. No one ought to be adopting or declaring a faith in order to simplify a government form. When a couple arrives already being leaned on in that direction, the answer they get here is that Parliament built a route which asks nothing about anybody's religion.

Nobody is contacted about your file — not a parent, an employer, a college, a landlord or a neighbour. Callers are heard out politely and told nothing. We will not say whether a named person is a client of ours, and we will not say whether any appointment is in the book. Plenty of the couples on this line are marrying against at least one household's wishes, and for them one loose remark down the phone undoes everything — so this is a fixed rule nobody here has discretion over, and the polite caller gets the same nothing as the furious one.

No OTP, card number, CVV, UPI PIN or net-banking credential is ever asked for. Not for a booking, not for a government portal, not to "confirm" anything. If somebody telephones claiming to be this office and asks for any of those, it is not this office.

Nothing beyond marriage, full stop. Land papers and transfer deeds are not ours; neither are wills, mutation entries, succession or probate. Nor are retirement-fund, insurance, pension or death claims. Nor maintenance proceedings or any matrimonial dispute. Nor tax returns or bookkeeping. We appear before no court, tribunal, committee or authority on anybody's behalf, and we hold no commission or referral arrangement with any bank, insurer or scheme. The guides on this website walk through many of those subjects at length, because the families who ring us genuinely need to understand them — and each of those pages states for itself that the work is not ours and that we are paid nothing for it.

Why a Marriage Service Bothers Reading Statutes

There is a fair question behind this website's size: why does a business that performs ceremonies and files registrations have ninety guide pages quoting sections of the Transfer of Property Act, the Employees' Provident Funds Scheme, the Street Vendors Act and the Income-tax Act?

The answer is a pattern that becomes obvious once you have taken enough calls.

Take almost any Indian statute that hands a benefit to a surviving or dependent partner and the same gap opens up. Compensation legislation names the widow at the head of its dependants. Two separate social-security schemes build a definition of “family” that opens with the husband or wife, and a deposit-linked assurance simply follows whichever name that definition produces. Rent legislation passes a protected tenancy to the partner ahead of every other relative. Domestic-violence legislation protects a woman's right to go on living in a household she owns no part of. Co-operative housing law obliges a managing committee to decide who stepped into a dead member's shoes. Maintenance legislation lets a widowed daughter-in-law look to her husband's father. Tax law identifies a husband or wife in order to work out whose income a thing is. Street-vending law moves a pitch to the partner first. A pension scheme goes on paying the same figure to the partner for the rest of her life.

Every single one of them takes the marriage as given. Not one of them says a word about how an office is supposed to satisfy itself that the marriage happened.

That silent gap is the entire business. A household knows perfectly well who married whom; a counter clerk needs a paper, and somebody has to produce it. The guide pages exist because so many of the people who arrive at this mandir are standing at the wrong end of one of those provisions — a decade or two past a wedding that three hundred people attended and no register ever heard about, now being asked for a document that was never created. You cannot tell such a family what to bring without having read the provision that is holding them up.

The editorial rules those guides are held to are set out on the About page and are short enough to restate: every statutory provision is quoted from the statute's own text, checked against two independent sources where both were reachable; figures come from the body that charges them; where a figure changes often, no figure is printed and the page says why; and every guide carries a section headed "Sources, and what this page cannot say" listing both what was relied on and the questions that page cannot answer.

The Ventures Before This One, and What Each One Was For

The timeline above lists them. What a reader deciding whether to trust this office probably wants is not the list but what it demonstrates, so here is the honest reading of it.

The Computer Education Center (2021–2025) was started while he was in the tenth standard and ran for four years. The relevant thing about it is not that it was a first business but that it lasted — a business opened by a schoolboy that was still operating four years later is evidence about follow-through rather than enthusiasm.

Sukoon Pad, a sanitary pad manufacturing venture built from nothing, is the only one of these that involved making a physical product to a specification. Manufacturing teaches a particular lesson that service businesses often never learn: that a thing either meets the standard or it does not, and that no amount of explanation to the customer substitutes.

PUREDEEP Milk was built from zero, scaled, and handed over to family after a year. A completed handover is a different skill from a launch, and a rarer one.

The bike transport business, run on a ride-hailing model with ten drivers across Delhi, was the first one where the product was other people's reliability. Ten drivers who have to turn up is a very direct education in what a promise costs.

And the court marriage and Arya Samaj service, from 2023, is the one where all of it has to hold at once: a specification that cannot be fudged, a handover to a client who will rely on the document for decades, and a team whose reliability is the product.

MaraVakil.com is stated on this page as what it is: a planned platform, not a launched one. It has no users, no verified advocates and no track record, because it does not yet exist. When it does, it can be judged. Until then a reader should weigh it at exactly zero, and this page is not going to help them do otherwise.

What He Tells Couples Whose Families Object

A large share of the couples who ring this number are marrying with at least one family unhappy about it. The same four things get said, in roughly this order, and they are worth setting out here because they are free and most of them are not what a frightened couple expects to hear.

One — no third party gets a vote. Where both of you are adults, your own willingness is the whole of what the law asks about. A relative's protest does not weaken the certificate and does not add a single step to the file. That is said to the couple in front of us, and it is said just as plainly to whoever rings up to protest.

Two — nobody here will promise you protection. Protection orders and police protection belong to courts and to the police. Anybody who offers to guarantee either, for a fee, is selling something they do not have. What can honestly be offered is the marriage, the document, and complete silence about both. Where a couple's situation genuinely needs a protection petition, that is an advocate's work and we say so instead of charging for an imitation of it.

Three — the notice question is the one real decision. The Hindu Marriage Act route and the Special Marriage Act route differ in a way that matters enormously to a couple in this position: one involves a notice that is entered, displayed and open to objection for thirty days, and one does not. Which route applies to you is a question of fact, not of preference — but understanding what each one exposes is the single most useful thing a couple can learn on a free phone call, and it should be learned before a date is fixed rather than after.

Four — plan the day for availability, not for ceremony. Ask for a whole morning rather than two hours. Confirm your two witnesses the evening before and keep a third name. Avoid the week your trade is busiest and the peak of the marriage season. These sound like small things; they are the difference between one half-day and three.

Where You Can Actually Find Us

One number for everything: +91 8376863962. Call or WhatsApp. That is the business line, it reaches the office, and it is the only number anybody from this service will contact you from. There is no second "founder number" to be given out, and anybody offering you one is not us.

The offices are in and around Rohini — near Rohini Court, Rohini Sector 18 and Rohini Sector 35 — and the mandir's address and directions are on the contact page. No home address appears anywhere on this website, deliberately, and no personal mobile number either. This site serves couples whose families are sometimes angry about the marriage; publishing a residential address in that line of work is a risk to take seriously rather than an SEO opportunity.

Bring nothing to a first conversation. Send pictures of the documents on WhatsApp at whatever hour suits you — free, about ten minutes' work, and by far the most useful ten minutes available. The defects that send a family back to Delhi a second time almost always show up in a photograph and almost never come out in talk.

And no payment arises before you have been told the route and the price. If a call has not covered those two things, nothing should have been paid.

Sources, and What This Page Cannot Say

Stated by the business. The mandir's registration and its practice since 1998; Deepu Yadav's management of this service since 2023; the ventures and dates in the timeline above; the LLB in progress with expected completion in 2029 and the legal practice under a senior Advocate at Rohini Court; the office locations around Rohini; and the single business contact number. These are the business's own statements about itself, offered as such, and a reader is entitled to ask for them to be substantiated before relying on them.

Sourced from statute. Section 5(ii) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 on free consent as a condition of a valid marriage; section 7, making the customary rites the solemnising act; section 8, enacted to facilitate proof of marriage; section 4 of the Special Marriage Act, 1954, under which a marriage between any two persons may be solemnised, together with its thirty-day notice; and section 236 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita on untrue declarations. Published fee figures come from Delhi's 2014 Order and the Delhi Revenue Department; apostille and attestation rates from the Ministry of External Affairs.

What this page cannot say. It cannot tell you that Deepu Yadav is an advocate, because he is not yet one. It cannot give you legal advice, and nothing on this website is legal advice. It cannot promise an outcome from any officer, court or committee. It cannot tell you which route applies to your marriage without hearing the facts, and it cannot tell you which office serves your address, because the sub-divisional map was reworked through 2026 and a name printed here could be stale before anybody relied on it. It cannot vouch for MaraVakil.com, which has not launched. And it does not ask you to take any of the business's statements about itself on faith — the number is on this page, and the test of all of it is one phone call that costs nothing.

Three Things Worth Asking Before You Trust Anybody in This Trade

Not only us. These three questions separate a service you can rely on from one you cannot, and they work on any marriage service in Delhi.

One — "Will you give me the price and the government's separate charges, now, on this call?" A service that cannot say its own price down the phone has a reason for that, and the reason is never in your favour.

Two — "Can you arrange witnesses for me?" The right answer is no, with an explanation of why. A yes tells you everything you need to know about what else that office is willing to put its name to.

Three — "What will you refuse to do?" An office that cannot answer this has never thought about it. An office that answers it in detail, without being pushed, has — and that list is a far better guide to how your file will be handled than any number of years, couples or stars.

Straight Answers

How the Team Is Structured, and Who Handles What

"Advocate-led legal team" is another phrase that needs unpacking, because a couple paying money is entitled to know which human being is doing which part of their work.

The first call is taken by the office, and the answer given on it is the office's answer. Route, fee, and the government's separate receipted charges. Nobody has to wait for a senior to be consulted before learning what something costs.

The ceremony itself belongs to the mandir's pandits. Full Vedic rites, in Sanskrit, nothing abbreviated, with the institution's own certificate handed over once they are complete. Section 7 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 treats the ceremony as the operative event rather than the paperwork — which is why a couple walks out of that ceremony already married, months before any government register has heard their names.

The registration file is built by the documentation side — checking what each party actually holds, spotting the address and spelling mismatches that cost families a second trip, and telling you before you travel what is missing. This is the part that photographs on WhatsApp make ten times easier, and it is free.

The parts that belong to an advocate are handled by advocates. Senior advocates, junior advocates and associates, practising at SDM offices. A client is told which part of their matter sits with whom.

And the parts that belong to nobody here are refused. A live dispute, a property question, a refused claim, a maintenance matter, an appearance before any authority — those need an advocate engaged for that purpose, and saying so is part of the first call rather than a discovery made later.

What the First Call Covers, and What It Costs

It costs nothing, it is not a sales call, and it covers six things.

One — the route your facts actually put you on, including the fairly common case where it is not the one you walked in assuming.

Two — what this service charges for that route. ₹5,100 for the Arya Samaj ceremony alone; ₹7,100 for ceremony with registration handled together; ₹6,000 to bring a wedding already held onto the record; ₹15,000 for the whole Special Marriage Act route; ₹56,000 for the fully managed package, which nobody is steered towards. The complete list, including duplicate copies, corrections and apostille handling, is on the fee page.

Three — the State's own takings, which are nothing to do with our fee and come back to you as receipts in your own hand: ₹100 to the Marriage Clerk, the ₹200 that Delhi's 2014 Order attaches to an application, and, on the civil route only, ₹15 to the District cashier.

Four — where the wedding is from an earlier year, what the delay actually costs. Delhi's Order sets two flat amounts: ₹500 if the filing lands inside the second sixty-day stretch, ₹1,000 once that has passed. The ADM or DM can let either go. Crucially, neither figure climbs with further delay — so a family that has left it fifteen years owes no more than one that has left it one, and nobody needs to be panicked into rushing.

Five — the realistic wait. Delhi's Revenue Department states what it expects of itself: roughly two weeks for a file travelling under the Hindu Marriage Act, and roughly two months once the Special Marriage Act is the governing statute.

Six — the office your particular address answers to right now. You will not find a single office named on this website, and that is a choice: the sub-divisional boundaries were redrawn across 2026, so anything we set in type risks being wrong by the time a family relies on it. Tell us the address over the phone and the current answer gets looked up for you, free.

Questions People Ask About the Person Behind This Service

Is Deepu Yadav an advocate?

No. He is pursuing an LLB with expected completion in 2029 and does legal practice under a senior Advocate at Rohini Court. That is practical exposure to procedure, and it is not enrolment. Advocates on the team are enrolled; he is not one of them, and this page says so rather than leaving it ambiguous.

Then who gives the legal part of the advice?

Nobody on this website gives legal advice, including the advocates. What the advocates do is handle the parts of a registration file that require an advocate. Where your situation genuinely turns on a point of law, the right thing is an advocate engaged for that purpose, and you will be told so.

The site says 1998 and this page says 2023. Which is it?

Both, and they refer to different things. The Arya Samaj Mandir has been registered and performing Vedic marriages since 1998 — that is the institution. Deepu Yadav has been running this court marriage and marriage registration service since 2023 — that is the management. An old institution under newer management is an ordinary arrangement; printing one number and hiding the other is what we are trying not to do.

So I am not getting twenty-five years of his experience?

Correct, and that is the honest answer. You are getting an institution with a long practice and a register going back to 1998, and a management running it since 2023 with published fees and a written refusals list. Weigh both for what they are. The most common way a marriage service misleads people is by borrowing the building's age for the person's experience.

Will I actually speak to him, or to a salesperson?

One number reaches the office: +91 8376863962. Whoever answers can give you the route, the fee and the government's separate charges on that call — no callback, no "come to the office and we will discuss". The decisions that matter on a file, and all the refusals, are his.

Why is his personal mobile number not on this page any more?

Because this service is used by couples whose families are sometimes angry about the marriage, and a published home address or personal mobile is a risk worth taking seriously. One business line, one WhatsApp number, offices named by area. Anybody offering you a different "founder number" is not us.

Can you supply witnesses?

No, for any amount of money. Both witnesses have to be your own people, and they have to have genuinely been there. A signature from a stranger is a flaw engineered into the certificate deliberately, and it gives way at the worst possible counter, usually a decade or more afterwards. If another office offers, refuse that too.

What do the witnesses actually have to do?

Attend and sign before the officer, confirming two things: that you are the couple the file names, and that the ceremony took place. They take on no liability. Each brings two documents in their own name — one with a photograph, one establishing where they live. Nothing is lodged in advance, and nobody may sign for a person who did not come.

Can you register a date earlier than the real one?

No, whatever the reason. An untrue declaration that can be received in evidence is a criminal matter under section 236 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita — and the person whose signature sits on it is you, not whoever proposed the idea.

My wedding was years ago and nobody recorded it. Is it too late?

There is no cut-off. Any earlier year, any state, any form of ceremony — and it is a larger part of this work than most people expect. Delhi's Order fixes two late amounts, ₹500 and ₹1,000, either waivable, and neither rising with further delay.

Can one of us attend and the other send papers?

No. Wherever the law requires both of you, both of you attend in person. Marriage by proxy does not exist in Indian law.

Will you perform a ceremony if one of us is being pressured?

No. Section 5(ii) of the Hindu Marriage Act makes willingness a condition of the marriage being valid. If one of you is silent, uncertain, or answering through a relative, the booking stops there — including bookings already paid for.

What if one of us is under eighteen, or under twenty-one?

Refused outright — whatever is offered, whatever papers are produced. There is nothing to negotiate here.

Can you guarantee police protection?

No, and nobody in this trade can. Protection orders and police protection belong to courts and to the police. What can honestly be offered is the marriage, the document, and complete silence about both. Where a situation genuinely needs a protection petition, that is an advocate's work and we say so instead of charging for an imitation of it.

Can you shorten the thirty-day notice?

No. Those days sit in the Special Marriage Act itself. No fee, venue or intermediary shortens them, and anybody saying otherwise is selling you something they do not have.

Will you tell my family anything?

Nothing at all. A caller is listened to courteously and leaves with no information: we will not say whether somebody is a client, we will not say whether an appointment exists, and we initiate no contact with parents, employers, colleges, landlords or neighbours. Nobody here has discretion to bend that, and a charming caller gets the same nothing as a shouting one.

My family is objecting. Does that stop the marriage?

No. Where both of you are adults, nobody else's approval is part of the test — your own willingness is. A relative's protest leaves the certificate exactly as sound as it would otherwise be, and we say so to the couple and to the protesting caller alike.

Somebody suggested one of us convert to make the paperwork simpler.

It will not be suggested here and it will not be arranged here, and you will be told straight that Parliament already provided a route that asks nothing about religion. Section 4 of the Special Marriage Act, 1954 opens that route to “any two persons”.

Will somebody from your office ever ask me for an OTP?

Never. No OTP, no card number, no CVV, no UPI PIN, no net-banking credential, and no password — not for a booking, not for a government portal, not to "confirm" anything. If somebody claiming to be this office asks for any of those, it is not this office. Call the number on this page and check.

Do I have to hand over my original documents?

No. The originals never leave you — they come to the appointment in your own bag and nowhere else. Everything before that runs on photographs, which cost you nothing to send.

Do I pay before or after I know the price?

Afterwards, always. No money changes hands until you have heard three things: the route that fits your facts, this office's charge for it, and the State's own receipted collections. A call that has skipped any of those three is a call after which you should still be holding your money.

Is the fee different for somebody who sounds desperate?

No. One published figure per route, printed on the fee page and repeated on each service page, charged to everyone alike. Nothing is quoted case by case, nothing moves with the wedding season, and a frightened caller is quoted exactly what a calm one is.

What is the ₹56,000 package and should I take it?

It is the fully managed option, for couples who want every part of it arranged rather than guided. It is listed on the fee page like everything else and nobody is steered towards it. Most couples do not need it.

Does the mandir certificate work abroad?

The mandir's certificate is the institution's record of the ceremony; it is not the State's registration and it is not what goes abroad. Attestation and apostille only become possible once the State's certificate is in your hands — they are a later step, not a parallel one. Our NRI page gives the sequence; the Ministry of External Affairs itself levies no charge for ordinary attestation, and ₹50 for each page or document it apostilles.

Why does a marriage service write about provident funds and pension schemes?

Because Indian law is full of provisions that give something to a spouse and not one of them explains how the relationship is to be established — every one assumes it. The couples who turn up here are very often standing at the far end of one of those provisions, years after a wedding nobody recorded, being asked for a paper that was never created. Reading the provision is how you tell them what is actually needed.

Can I trust the statute quotes on this site?

Each section set out on this website was read where it actually lives — the official code, a bare-act text, or the scheme's own published document — and then confirmed a second time against an unrelated source whenever one could be reached. Amounts that move frequently are left out altogether, with the page saying so in as many words. And if you catch a provision misquoted or an amount gone stale, telephone and tell us: it will be checked and corrected, with no argument from this end.

Is MaraVakil.com running?

No. It is a planned platform with no users, no verified advocates and no track record, because it does not yet exist. A reader should weigh it at zero until it launches, and this page is not going to help them do otherwise.

What will you refuse to do, in one list?

Supply witnesses. Record a date that is not the true one. Produce a certificate where only one party attended. Perform a ceremony where consent is plainly absent. Touch an under-age file. Promise what any officer, court or committee will do. Suggest or arrange a conversion. Tell anybody anything about your file. Ask for an OTP or card details. And take any work outside marriage at all — no property, no claims, no disputes, no tax, no appearance before any authority.

What should I ask a different marriage service, to compare?

Three questions. "Will you give me your price and the government's separate charges now, on this call?" "Can you arrange witnesses for me?" — the right answer is no, with a reason. And "What will you refuse to do?" An office that cannot answer the third has never thought about it, and that list tells you more about how your file will be handled than any number of years, couples or stars.

What is the quickest way to get a straight answer?

Ring +91 8376863962 and say three things: when and where the wedding is or was, the address each of you actually lives at as the Aadhaar prints it, and roughly what documents exist. That is enough for somebody to tell you the route, the cost and what is missing — on the call, without anybody travelling, and at no charge even when the honest answer is that you should go elsewhere.
