New Delhi: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board has objected to the Supreme Court%u2019s order asking all states and union territories to introduce legislation within three months to make registration of marriage compulsory in all communities.
A bench headed by Justice Arijit Pasayat on Thursday asked governments to file a compliance report and an affidavit after the deadline. The court passed the order after noting that several states had made registration of marriage compulsory only for Hindus.
Khalid Rashid, member of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, said the judgment interferes with his community%u2019s personal law. Rashid told CNN-IBN that the community keeps record of weddings and the Supreme Court order was %u201Cunwanted hindrance%u201D.
"Marriages in Islam are a religious affair completely. If registration is made compulsory it will bring unwanted hindrances in the solemnization of nikaahs (marriage), so our request to the court and governments is it should be made voluntary and not compulsory. We ourselves keep records of all marriages at our institutions and we don't think there is any need to compulsory registration, which will bring problems, particularly in villages," he said.
Kamal Farooqi, another member of the Muslim board, said the court's order was not against Islam but wanted certain conditions for its implementation. "The authorities must recognise our qazis and there must not be any pre-condition for marriages to be legalised," he said.

Muslims have there own pattern of registering marriages. Muslim marriages are void or null without registeration. For a marriage the minimum requirement (in short) Bride, Bridegroom, Wali(Girl's Father or Close blood relative), two witness. This system of practise is carried out for the past 1400 years and not like hindu marriages where marriages can happen without any witness or registeration. Hindu marraige act came only around 1960s (i dont know exactly). Thats why muslim clerics oppose the supreme court decision i.e. they dont want to change the system in place since it is going to serve the same purpose, still there is no harm in registering as per supreme court's directives unless it does not interfere in the way the marriage is conducted k.m.riswan

If Muslims have "registration process" then they should not have any problem with Supreme Court's ruling of mandatory of registration of marriages. A copy of the marriage cerificate should be sent to the appropriate authority.

Parsis and Christians have laws in place to register marriages in their communities. Under the Indian Christian Marriages Act, 1872, entries are made in the marriage register of the church, soon after the ceremony, along with the signatures of the bridegroom, the bride, the officiating priest and witnesses. The Parsi Marriage and Divorce Act, 1936 makes registration necessary in the community.
Under Section VII of the Hindu Marriage Act 1954 has a provision for registration of marriages but it%u2019s left to the couple to either solemnize the marriage before the sub-registrar or register it after wedding.
However, the Hindu Marriage Act says the validity of the marriage will in no way be affected by omission to make the entry in the register. Therefore only under the Hindu Personal Law it is not compulsory to register the marriage.
In Muslim law, a marriage is regarded as a civil contract and the qazi (officiating priest) records the terms of the marriage in a nikahnama, which is handed over to the married couple. "A MOCERY OF SUPREMCOURT DECISION N CONTITUTION OF INDIA BY MUSLIMS"

We dont have any confusion. Indian Muslims have every thing to do with terrorism. one of the gift of Islam is organised terrrorism in the name of beleiver and non beleiver. Same thing holds good for Christianity also.
Hinduism havent go any history of hurting or killing poeple in the name of non beleivers. Nasthikas or non beleivers had equal status as asthikas. Eve the Ram, Ravn battle was not based on beleiver and non beleiver. Ram and Ravan both worshipped Lord Shiva. The battle was between good and bad. Killing in the name of non beleivers is the gift of Islam and christianity. No confusion in this matter. Stop secular blah blah
China is always major treat for India and other democracies like United States, Japan. China can not be a friend of India. China is helping Pakistan against us. Same way we have to help Taiwan against them. Chinese are occupied Tibet. Now, we have to take U turn in our foreign policy. We need shake hand with US and its NATO allies. We also need to support Tibet for their freedom straggle nevertheless we have to take step for merger of Tibet in our democratic republic.
