Under Indian law, your marriage is not legally valid. While your celebration with both families is a significant step, registering your marriage with the appropriate authorities is mandatory to obtain legal recognition in India.

He hasn’t played any role in raising our son. Is it possible to receive support in getting justice and holding him accountable?
