Hi Dear,
I had applied for my marriage certificate after my wedding on 5/13/2013. My husband is originally from Nalanda (Bihar) and we both came from USA to get married. I belong to Hoshiarpur Punjab state and got married in Hoshiarpur. Since we had only few days before we had to come back , so we were looking to get our certificate sooner than later. We had all the documents and also people present but the authority who had to sign will not sign without INR 5000. in addition, our local MC whose job is to come and sign for these things, also asked for INR 500 just for signature and doing her duty. This was ridiculous to see that they won't hand over your papers without money. It is dishonesty and I had been a part of this as a payer unless I had waited for years to get my certificate. IT IS SUCH A SHAME that we have to pay someone for doing their duty. I seriously demand the suspension of authority who takes several thousands in bribes everyday.
Regards,
Ranjita
