The Judgement by Smt Sumitra Devi v Bhihan Choudhary.(1985) 1 SCC 637 tells that this type of marriage give rise to legal relationship.
PS I always like this type of arguments more. Discussing about the imaginary characters who are in the Novels or any other shows are very interesting So I did continue this. Thanks for your comments according to my reply. Thank you once again .Bye.
Ok I don't know why you cited this example, but it's no where even similar to Om n Gauri marriage except for the fact that in both the cases not all the religious rites had been performed (in fact in RiKara case none of the religious ritual was performed unlike in the stated case where few rituals were performed) but even in this case court has given a benefit of doubt that probably the witness did not mention the complete marriage rites or magistrate had not recorded it (and didn't say that a marriage without any religious rites becomes valid)
But here the appellant n the respondent had lived together for years n they had a girl out of the wedlock, there were official documents which mentioned them as spouses (like voters list) but there is nothing as such in case of RiKara, here Omkara asked her to leave within minutes of the so called marriage, there is no public documents mentioning them as husband wife
So practically here, Omkara n Gauri didn't perform any religious marriage rites, didn't have the registration of marriage, never stayed together, have no public documents mentioning them as spouses n didn't do anything which the couple whose example you had given had done, so i don't know what does this example prove, n how their marriage is legal
