Advocate Deepak Dravid: India`s Leading Matrimonial Lawyer Sheds Light On The Rising Popularity of Court Marriages

One of the cornerstones of our popular culture is the idea of the `Big Fat Indian Wedding`. The Big Fat Indian Wedding is defined by its opulence, grandiosity and sheer scale. Think week-long celebrations, multiple wardrobe changes, choreographed dance numbers, gourmet catering, designer trousseau and custom keepsakes.

The wedding is a celebration for the ages, but behind this larger-than-life event, lies a complex web of financial strain, towering societal expectations, and the pressure to get everything perfect.

We are seeing couples increasingly opt for the more reserved route of court marriage. Advocate Deepak Dravid, India’s leading matrimonial lawyer witnesses this phenomenon firsthand, everyday. He explains this cultural shift, “During the early days of my career, court marriage was not viewed favourably, as it was considered an avenue for eloping couples to get married and didn’t follow any traditions. So it is satisfying to see our society embrace court marriage. Nowadays, couples are opting to tie the knot by putting ink to paper.”

He continues, “Weddings are expensive. Organising a wedding leaves a dent in the pocket that takes years to recover. And when you add the pressure placed by interfering relatives and gossiping neighbours, the marriage and the bride and groom themselves take a backseat at their own wedding.”

“By opting for court marriage, couples are afforded privacy and are able to save money for their new life. Not only that, but their marriage also gains validity and legal rights. The new generation views this as logical and efficient and we are seeing a rise in court marriages.”.
