Cutting down the waiting time for issuing marriage certificate and making the registration process easier and simpler, the Jaipur district administration has come up with a new initiative. As per the new format, married couples can just walk into their nearest e-mitra kiosk to obtain a marriage certificate. Without wasting their time and energy in the marriage registrar's office, they can submit also their documents required as the proof of marriage, which will be further scanned and sent to the concerned authority in the district administration. After the verification of documents, couples will be assigned a date for registration and they will be issued a certificate. We spoke to a few newly married couples to know their take on this easy format...

This is easy for tech-savvy youth
"Surely, it will save a lot of time and energy. It sounds easier than waiting in long queues, which I really hate. Thankfully, the circular has been issued at the right time, since I will need the certificate soon," said a newly married Shobhita Sanyal. Since the process of bureaucratic paperwork is very taxing and tiring, the new age tech-savvy youth can just click and get the whole process done online.

Also, it will be completed in a definite period of time. The online registration process is applicable only for Indian couples and NRI couples will not get benefits of the scheme. Girls, who intend to go abroad along with their husbands after marriage, face problems in attaining a marriage certificate. "I will be applying for a UK visa, so that soon after marriage I can join my husband in London, who is working as a software professional there. This process will be helpful for me. It'd be fairly simple and easy for anyone of us to obtain a certificate now," says Mohita Asthana.

Old couples too want to register
Surprisingly, this has also clicked with those who have been happily married for years and never felt any need to acquire a certificate till now. Deepak Raizada and his wife Roshni, have been married for 17 years, and they now want to obtain a marriage certificate. They are happy to hear about the recent online procedure. "Though we never required the certificate and never thought about it, now we will apply since it's an online procedure. You never know, when you need one. I hope it will be enforced and regulated with immediate effect," said Deepak. "At least, we will be saved from bribing those corrupt babus," said Sujata Sharma, who wants to change her surname after her marriage. "I just need to visit the nearest kiosk once and will be assigned a date to submit the original documents. After furnishing few other details, I will have my certificate in my hands." But even now, there are also people who think Indian couples don't require their marriage to be registered to prove that they are married. "Basically it is required either for legal matters or if the couple needs a job or study visa. Otherwise it has no relevance."
