I’m 26 years old and was married for a short while, but we separated within a month. We haven’t officially gotten divorced yet. I’m preparing for a government job and am unsure if it’s okay to mark myself as “single” on the application. We didn’t register our marriage, it was a religious ceremony. Could there be any issues if I list myself as single, especially considering the lack of registration?

While your marriage wasn’t officially registered, it still holds legal validity under Indian law. Marking yourself as “single” on the application could be considered misrepresentation. It’s best to consult with a legal professional for advice on how to proceed, as the situation is complex and requires careful consideration.

How can we ensure we get the money owed to us?
