Court Marriage & Family Lawyer in South East Delhi

Legal assistance for couples and families in South East Delhi

South East Delhi has a mix of long-settled families and newer tenants. We see many requests to correct names or dates on existing marriage certificates, often when a spouse's passport spelling does not match the certificate.

We help with court marriage under the Special Marriage Act, registration of marriages already performed, certificate corrections, and family matters such as divorce, maintenance and custody. We do not claim a physical office in every area; consultations are available by phone, WhatsApp or by appointment.

Which authority handles your matter?

Court marriage and registration are handled by the SDM acting as Marriage Officer or Registrar for your sub-division, not by a court. Divorce, maintenance and custody for South East Delhi are generally heard at the Saket Courts, subject to the jurisdiction rules for each case.

Delhi's revenue districts were reorganised from 11 to 13 by a Revenue Department notification of 25 December 2025. The new districts are Central, Central North, East, New Delhi, North, North East, North West, Old Delhi, Outer North, South, South East, South West and West; Shahdara is no longer a separate revenue district. SDM (sub-division) boundaries moved with this change, so the Marriage Officer or registering authority for your address may differ from what older websites say. Always confirm your current sub-division on the Delhi Revenue Department website before applying. A further notification of 3 September 2026 aligned registration jurisdiction with these boundaries, with a Sub-Registrar office for each of the 39 sub-divisions.
