A.Dear client,
A Hindu Marriage is invalid without adequate rituals.
Section 7 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 says that there must be the performance of some spiritual ceremonies at the time of marriage. The section makes such performance mandatory for giving the status of husband and wife to the parties to a marriage in the eyes of the law.
As per section 7(2), where the performing ceremonies include Saptapadi, which means taking seven rounds in front of the holy fire, i.e., ‘Agni’ in the mandap, upon the completion of the seventh round, the marriage is said to be completed, which is of binding nature and is said to be a valid marriage.
