In India, a marriage certificate is generally not mandatory for securing a government job. It's mostly required in specific scenarios like adding your spouse as a nominee for EPF/NPS, availing health benefits, or applying for family-related allowances. Similarly, while it's not compulsory to have your spouse's name on your passport, it's a good idea especially for visa applications, joint travel, or proving marital status when needed. Think of it as optional paperwork that makes life a bit smoother later.

Hi You are well within your rights to keep your marriage as confidential but if specific question is asked you need to reply correctly. After filling up form you are supposed to verify the form that all information given above are correct to the best of your knowledge. If you submit wrong information your form is liable to be rejected. If this information found out to be false after your appointment, your appointment is liable to be set aside. You may decide as to which action is beneficial to you, for further clarification you may call us. Regards

you will have to mention the column as married in case you get married. whatever may be the mode of marriage the moment marriage happens between both of you it will be a valid marriage in the eyes of law. Thus concealing it for any employment reason you are misleading your employer. But unlike registration of marriage before Sub Registrar office or concerned SDM where your name would be displayed regarding your marriage in Arya Samaj marriage simply you would be given a marriage certificate which is valid for all purposes. So when you are going for Arya Samaj marriage your parents won't be informed. S

yes you can mentioned single but the only problem is your would be husband as this can be revealed only by the person who knows about that. suppose you obtain a job mentioning that you are single but later on sum body filed a complaint that you have concealed the same from your department then an inquiry may be ordered against you
