I got married a few years back in a traditional Hindu ceremony, but we didn’t register it. Now she lives in our village, and I’m in the city, and we’re not together. Can I get legally married in court? Do I need her consent, and any documents proving she agrees? My official documents show I’m single.

You can get legally married in court, but your existing marriage will be considered valid as it was performed under Hindu law. To get married legally, you will need to obtain a divorce from your existing marriage, which requires her consent and proof of service. Your current marriage certificate is not valid for legal purposes, but it is considered a valid Hindu marriage.
