An Arya Samaj marriage certificate is generally considered valid in India, but its legal recognition might be contested. You should consult a lawyer immediately to understand your legal rights and options, as your parents’ actions could have serious consequences. It’s crucial to establish communication with your boyfriend and plan a legal strategy to protect him from false accusations.
