Should I write to the Authorities to disregard my application by stating that the marriage was already registered overseas and we were advised wrongly?

1 year ago

I am a foreign national of Indian origin (Sikh). I got married to another foreign national also of Indian origin (Hindu). Our marriage was registered overseas on April 15, 2022. Since our extended families are in India we also had a ceremony in India on June 10, 2022. We were advised by a lawyer to apply for registration of marriage in India and state the date of marriage to be June 10, 2022. There was a declaration in that application form that said "This marriage has not been registered in India or overseas". We could not pursue obtaining the certificate as we traveled overseas again. I like to know - (a) Was the above action legal? (b) Will the date of marriage be considered as June 10 or April 15 for all practical purposes e.g. marital property rights, etc (c) Should I write to the Authorities to disregard my application by stating that the marriage was already registered overseas and we were advised wrongly? Thanks
