I paid to certify a marriage that was written in heaven
- Stamps and Registration
- Marriage Certificate
- Paid INR 700
I got married on 28th Novemeber,2010 in Karnal, Haryana. At the time of my marriage I wasn't able to get marriage certifcate due to some issues. I decided to file for a certificate from Pune (my place of residence) under Special Marriage Act,1954. I went to Marriage Registrar Office on 7th June, 2011. The senior officer asked me to pay Rs 300 intitally and didnt provide me the recipt for the same. Since i was getting certificate under special marriage act, 1954 so there was 30 days of notice period and I was asked to come back to sign certifcate and collect it. I went on 11th July to marriage registrar office. There I was asked to again pay 700 Rs as a marriage gift to the officials there if I wanted my certificate quickly. I went to the senior officer to report this. He called the junior officer in and then they both told me that 'Apka ********** ka kaam hai kya farak padta hai'. They gave me my certificate only after i paid 700 Rs.
Later I came to know that both senior and junior officer cheated me. Senior officer charged me 300 Rs for the form which was actually worth only Rs 100. Junior officers (3 of them) charged me 700 Rs in total which actually was worth 200 rS. They didnt provide any receipt and when i raised concern they said it was my marriage gift to them.
