Affidavit Suffices as Proof of Marriage for Public Employment When Certificate Is Unavailable Due to Pending Matrimonial Dispute : Rajasthan HC
The Rajasthan High Court has ruled that an affidavit affirming marital status is legally sufficient for contractual service joining when the marriage certificate cannot be produced due to an ongoing matrimonial dispute, ensuring that procedural hurdles do not derail merit-based appointments. This sets a precedent for public employers to prioritize substantive proof over rigid documentation in cases involving genuine personal hardship.
