A.Dear Client,
Even if they got married in 1985/86 as per the proper Hindu system, it is not too late to register their marriage. They can visit the local Sub-Registrar's office and complete the registration process. This will provide legal proof of their marriage. To safeguard their interests, they should consider creating legal documents, such as a will, to clearly specify their wishes regarding property, assets, and inheritance. They can consult with a lawyer to draft these documents. If the wife is eligible for a government pension, she should ensure that the necessary nomination and beneficiary details are up to date. This will help in the smooth transfer of pension benefits to the surviving spouse in case of the other's demise.
