HI
Only the officer at Arya Samaj and the couples who got married at Arya Samaj are liable in case of any crime.
Witnesses are not responsible for any misrepresentation made by the couple
Witnesses only need to depose before courts to prove the fact of marriage, if summons are issued by the court.

Marriage in accordance with Arya samaj (vedic) rites is a valid marriage. What would be the legal consequence? You say you are a witness. In any matrimonial dispute between the spouses of whose marriage you are a witness , you may be called as a witness for proving that there was a marriage between them. Now registration of marriage is compulsory. Advice the newly married couple to go for registration of marriage to avoid any future problems.
