Celebrating Mens Day

Calls for an International Men's Day have been noted since at least the 1960s, when "many men" were reported to "have been agitating privately to make 23 Feb International Men's Day, the equivalent of 8 March, which is International Women's Day"
The objectives of celebrating an International Men's Day include focusing on men's and boys' health, improving gender relations, promoting gender equality, and highlighting positive male role models
It is an occasion to highlight discrimination against men and boys and to celebrate their achievements and contributions, in particular for their contributions to community, family, marriage, and child care
International Men's Day is celebrated in over 70 countries
So Happy Men's Day


Marriage is about being in continuous & reinventing Love 
It is a deep unity, maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit; reinforced by the grace which both partners ask, and receive, 
from God

REGISTERING MARRIAGE ENSURES FINANCIAL PROTECTION FOR WOMEN

REGISTERING MARRIAGE ENSURES FINANCIAL PROTECTION FOR WOMEN


While people spend a lot of time and energy planning the perfect wed ding, they often ignore an important detail-the marriage certificate. An essential document establishing the marital status of a couple, it was made mandatory by the Supreme Court, in 2006, for every couple, irrespective of the religion.

Depending on your religion, you can either register under the Hindu Marriage Act or the Special Marriage Act, which differ in some respects. One, the Hindu Marriage Act sets a minimum age limit of 21 years for the groom and 18 years for the bride, while the latter places a minimum age limit of 21 years for both the partners. Two, the Hindu Marriage Act only allows you to register your marriage, not solemnise it. On the other hand, the Special Marriage Act serves both purposes. 

HINDU MARRIAGE

ACT To register under this Act, both the partners need to be Hindu. If only one spouse is, they will have to turn to the Special Marriage Act.The first step is to apply to the sub-registrar under whose jurisdiction the marriage took place. Alternatively , you can apply to the registrar of the place where either spouse stayed for at least six months before marriage. Both partners need to fill the relevant application form, sign it, and submit it, along wit ..

SPECIAL MARRIAGE ACT

This Act covers both marriage solemnising and registration, and requires the same documents as prescribed under the Hindu Marriage Act. However, the procedure is complex. To begin with, both the parties have to give a 30-day notice to the sub-registrar in whose jurisdiction at least one spouse has resided. One copy of the notice is put up on the sub-registrar's office board, and another is sent by registered post to both the partners. If either spouse is residing in another sub-registrar's area, a copy has to be sent to him for similar publication. If there is no objection, say, from divorced spouses, the marriage is registered one month from the date of publication of the notice.
