Place of marriage mentioned in marriage certificate is wrong


29-Apr-2023 (In Documentation Law)
Sir, I want to question the authenticity of marriage certificate.It is almost an year since married and we are staying seperate from last 6 months. As we are in verge of a divorce and they are threatening me to file with false DV case to block me from going abroad. My marriage was happened in a Marriage Hall. But, My wife's family made the documents that it was happened in her home. The online marriage certificate issued by local panchayath body is shown as Bride's Residence as the place of marriage. This certificate issued was at local town of my wife. Is it possible to question this certificate & Is it possible to get it invalid, If I request a correction in with the same local registrar.? Whether I will be also in trouble with law for wrong declaration ? What will be procedures & is it possible to file an RTI ? How can deal with this. Also, If things are going well, Is it necessary or possible to change the document to avoid any issue in future.

Dear Querist, Please check the application made for registration of Marriage and the details therein and also whether it bears your signature. If the details are wrong and doesnot bear your signature, write a complaint to the registering authority for changing the discrepancy of bride's address.

Please feel free to call us, if any further queries.

1) first thing, just Marriage Registrar having power to issue Marriage Certificate. Marriage Registration is necessary. if their local Grampanchayat having that power, then you can give simple Application for change the address. You can attached hall receipt or marriage card.
2) 'Trouble with law for wrong declaration'..... yes you can file RTI.
3) Also, If things are going well, Is it necessary or possible to change the document to avoid any issue in future. what type documents you want to change to avoid issue? if your talking about your marriage certificate, i don't thing , just marriage place make any seance after all jurisdiction wise that the same place.
