Hello,

As you are married in a church, the marriage certificate issued by the church is a valid and approved one and it is sufficient proof of your marriage. No need to obtain marriage certificate from the marriage registrar. You can apply for divorce on the basis of the church marriage certificate.

Dear Client,
Christian Marriage and Registration Procedure in India Introduction. Under the Indian Christian Marriage Act, 1872, Christian marriages in India are performed by a Minister or Priest in a church. After the marriage is performed the minister or priest enlists the marriage and issues a marriage certificate, thereby endorsing the marriage. A marriage, performed earlier by a Priest or Minister of the Church, can likewise be enrolled, in the register by the registrar of marriages. In order to get a marriage registered, it is incumbent on each party to the marriage to make an application to the concerned authority located within its place of residence.
1.Essential Requirements
In order to constitute a valid marriage under the act, it is a requirement that either one or both parties are Christians. Unless one of the parties to the marriage is governed by its own personal law which forbids such a marriage on the grounds of prohibited degrees of relationship, thereby rendering the marriage as void and redundant under the act. To constitute a legitimate marriage under the act the following factors have to be complied with:-
The bridegroom must not be under twenty-one years and the bride must not be under eighteen years of age respectively;Consent must be free and voluntary and not obtained by misrepresentation of facts, compulsion or undue influence;Neither party should have a spouse living at the time of marriage;Marriage must be performed in the presence of at least two reliable witnesses, by a person licensed to grant a certificate to the marriage. Now you cannot register as the marriage already been registered by priest in a church or you both must present before registrar on the date of marriage. Then it was not registered it is not possible for you now. Certificate from a Church is valid one. So you can proceed to for further steps.
