It's a scandal. Don't be surprised if at some point, in a certain situation, they might turn around and ask you: why didn't you get a marriage certificate all these years? India is a funny old place run on whims and fancies of politicians and bureaucrats.
This is ridiculous, Pallavi! I admire you for your determination to both get the marriage certificate as well as keep your Indian passport.
I think after 2 decades my determination may be flagging!
We're a country of dimwit, in fact braindead, bigots!!!

Fascinating story Pallavi, It takes me to ask; are Indian parents right? What’s the divorce rate in India vs free love countries?
