So a few people on here have stated that just because this utter loser and waste of space, Mohit, has basically kidnapped and forcibly carried Preeti around a fire in her BEDROOM that they are legally married. And honestly, I wasn't sure if this was accurate or not so obviously I looked it up in a search engine- and I wasn't surprised to find that my initial thoughts were about right. Whatever weird ritual he thought he was doing in that room was a load of horsesh*t and I'm sorry- but you cant call that a legal or solemnised marriage. Just because the fire was there and he tied the knot does not make that a marriage, just a ritual. I agree that in India according to the citizens, the ritualistic actions of the marriage are widely accepted or "considered" legal- but according to the LAW in most states it is a load of crap. Its not considered legal unless a whole lot of paper work, APPROPRIATE witnesses, and bureaucracy is involved and RIGHTLY SO. Or else any psycho can go and call walking round a fire a wedding. Its not, it's a farce. If that's the case then drag a dead body round the fire too and call that a marriage too- come on people- whatever Mohit did was done without consent, without the appropriate witnesses (Shanti, nimmi and Riya do NOT count as witnesses- I mean what if they were backing Mohit up? They would be party to a crime- appropriate witnesses means people who are LEGALLY qualified to solemnise/sanctify the marriage, not just a bunch of random people who happened to be there!) Whatever Mohit did was also done with about three dozen marbles missing from his brain- null and void. Unless an ACTUAL priest was there (not a bloody voice recording) and unless there were people there to witness that the marriage was mutually consented to and unless papers were signed by both parties then whatever the crap happened in that room was literally just a kidnapping and nothing more. So please- whoever thinks that THAT was legal/acceptable marriage "vows"/a real marriage in any shape or form- seriously- stop sending this insane message to people. Here's a whole list of things you require for a ritualistic marriage to become official:
1. Religious Marriage Ceremonies in India
In India, a religious marriage ceremony is considered a legal marriage. However registration of marriage is now a legal requirement in most of the states in India. Moreover, for visa and immigration purposes a formal marriage certificate from the Registrar of Marriages is required. There are different rules and regulations for different religions. For example there are Hindu Marriage Act, Muslim Marriage Act, and Christian Marriage Act and for the Parsee there is Parsee Marriage and Divorce Act.
(a) Hindu Marriage Ceremony
The Hindu Marriage Act of 1955 is applicable to Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and Buddhists. A religious marriage which has already been solemnized can be registered under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. The Hindu Marriage Act is applicable in cases where both husband and wife are Hindus, Buddhists, Jains or Sikhs or where they have converted into any of these religions. The Hindu Marriage Act provides for the conditions of a marriage where under the bridegroom should be the age of 21 years and bride of 18 years, they both should not be within the degree of prohibited relationship.
The documents required for registering a marriage under the Hindu Marriage Act are as follows:
- Application form duly signed by both husband and wife
- Documentary evidence of date of birth of parties (Matriculation Certificate / Passport / Birth Certificate) Minimum age of both parties is 21 years at the time of registration under the Special Marriage Act
- Ration card of husband or wife whose area SDM has been approached for the certificate
Affidavit by both the parties stating place and date of marriage, date of birth, marital status at the time of marriage and nationality - Two passport size photographs of both the parties and one marriage photograph
Marriage invitation card, if available - If marriage was solemnized in a religious place, a certificate from the priest is required who solemnized the marriage
- Affirmation that the parties are not related to each other within the prohibited degree of relationship as per Hindu Marriage Act or Special Marriage Act as the case may be
Attested copy of divorce decree/order in case of a divorcee and death certificate of spouse in case of widow/widower - In case one of the parties belong to other than Hindu, Buddhist, Jain and Sikh religions, a conversion certificate from the priest who solemnized the marriage
- All documents excluding receipt should be attested by a Gazetted Officer
Verification of all the documents is carried out on the date of application and a day is fixed and communicated to the parties for registration. On the said day, both parties, along with a Gazetted Officer who attended their marriage, need to be present before the SDM. The marriage certificate under the Hindu Marriage Act is issued on the same day or within a few days.
Registration of Marriage in India
A marriage in India is required to be registered in most of the cases. The state governments have or are planning to make the registration of marriage compulsory in all the cases. A marriage certificate is also required in most cases for visa purposes.
Moreover, the Indian Special Marriage Act, 1954, which applies to all citizens irrespective of their religion, requires the registration of marriages by a marriage officer.
Registering of Marriage will be made Compulsory in India
Recently, the Supreme Court of India gave the final deadline to the states and Union Territories to frame laws to make the registration of marriages compulsory, as a majority of them have failed to comply with its earlier order of February 2006 in this regard.
EVEN if the above wasn't true and outdated- nothing about what happened with Mohit and Preeti was even remotely sacred, the rituals of marriage weren't even performed by ANYONE. Just an insane man walking around a fire with a girl trapped in his arms. I'm sorry but I just had to post this, if people don't like it then so be it but I just cant understand why anyone in their right mind would think that this was in any way a marriage or wedding or is legal or should be. If that were the case (Im laughing here because its so utterly ridiculous) then even the actors who are ACTING out these scenes are really marrying each other! Come on! To those who think Preeti is in any way married to this freak now- you really need to think that through again. If you think that was real in any way then what a mockery of the sanctity of actual marriage vows and prayers and sacred rituals properly performed- there's no need then, who needs a priest or family around if that's all it takes to get married?! Shes not married to him- nothing even happened apart from a bit of smoke and fire and she should be free to marry Vyom properly. Also if Vyom DOES find out and makes a big hoohaa about this joke of a "marriage" that Mohit forced on her- then I reallly hope everyone finds out that hes been sleeping with his wife's-to-be cousin. I mean surely that trumps a fake marriage. And Mohit is disgusting- he is completely insane, and makes my skin crawl. Imagine someone like that coming after you, you'd kick him in the bloody nuts until he fainted never mind whacking him over the head. He was "OK" to begin with- but the moment he started living in Shanti Sadan pretending to be someone else- that's when the psychopath showed itself. Creepy. He deserves psychological therapy, to be kept far away from all females- the psycho obviously has mummy issues or something. No good woman deserves that kind of hell. Ugh, yuk. Preeti annoys the hell out of me, yes- I mean I don't even know where to start- she cries and cries and cries and gets herself in trouble and never speaks up for herself OR her SIL when she's the one on her side, and she CRIES and mopes and whines and is not happy with ANYTHING no matter how many people are trying to make her life tolerable again- did I mention she cries? And shes been a nasty cow to Nandu (who at FIRST didn't deserve it- he does now though cuz he is creepy as hell too now). Ugh- and she criiies. All the time. No matter what. Literally a worm has more backbone. BUT that doesn't mean that what happened with Mohit was ok and doesn't mean she deserved it and doesn't mean she's a w***e (as some foul people have been calling her). Shes not any of those things- shes just spineless and terrified of her own shadow and very slow. I don't care how NICE and lovely and charming and romantic Mohit was to begin with- when things got tough, he showed his real character and it sucked balls. HORRIBLE true character. Preeti fell in love and made a big bloody mistake continuing to see that loser- she made a HUGE mistake and it is her naivety and stupidity that's got her in this mess- but it doesn't mean that its ok for Mohit to bloody well go psycho on her. Whatever Mohit did was wrong- Riya was right, the police SHOULD have been called- but of course if that happened then Preeti really would have to go and throw herself over a cliff because apparently women in that town don't support each other when a man attacks you- no it's the woman's fault of course and how dare she even look at a man, how dare she even like a man- because that would of course make her a w****, right? But if a man kidnaps you and forces you to marry him- then lets hope the poor guy ends up with a more "deserving" decent girl who appreciates him. And that's why people, the human race is doomed.
