🔆Self-respect marriages

✅The Supreme Court observed that there is no blanket ban on advocates solemnising “self-respect” marriages under Section 7(A) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955.
✅ In 1968, the Hindu Marriage (Tamil Nadu Amendment) Act, 1967, received the President’s approval and became the law.
✅ This amendment modified the Hindu Marriage Act of 1955, by inserting Section 7-A into it.
✅ However, it extended only to the state of Tamil Nadu.
✅ Section 7-A deals with the special provision on “self-respect and secular marriages”.
✅ It legally recognises any marriage between any two Hindus, which can be referred to as “suyamariyathai” or “seerthiruththa marriage” or by any other name.
✅ Such marriages are solemnised in the presence of relatives, friends, or other persons, with parties declaring each other to be husband or wife, in a language understood by them.
✅ Such marriages are also required to be registered as per the law.

▪️Aim:
✅To radically simplify weddings by shunning the need for mandatory Brahmin priests, holy fire and saptapadi (seven steps).
✅ This allowed marriages to be declared in the presence of the couple’s friends or family or any other persons.
✅ The amendment was made to do away with the need for priests and rituals, which were otherwise required to complete wedding ceremonies.
