Arya Samaj misused beliefs in organising marriages: Allahabad HC

The Allahabad High Court last week observed that the Arya Samaj institution had misused its beliefs in organising marriages without even considering the genuineness of documents.

Justice Saurabh Shyam Shamshery said that the Allahabad HC was flooded with marriage certificates from different Arya Samaj societies which were seriously questioned, reported Bar and Bench.

“Since the marriage has not been registered, therefore, only on the basis of said certificate it cannot be deemed that the parties have married,” he further held.

The High Court was hearing a habeas corpus petition alleging that the corpus was the petitioner’s wife.

To prove the legality of their marriage, the petitioner relied on a certificate of marriage as well as a certificate issued by Arya Samaj Mandir, Ghaziabad, according to Bar and Bench.

The plea was dismissed.
