Overview
- Official figures say daily registrations rose to 1,634 from 67 after the code took effect on January 27, 2025.
- More than three lakh marriages were registered between late January and July 2025, according to the government release.
- The earlier 2010 registration law logged about 3.3 lakh marriages over the entire 2010–2025 period.
- The code covers marriage, divorce, inheritance and live-in relationships and sets a common marriage age with stricter divorce procedures across religions.
