Church
Formalities to Get Married in Goa |
|
The
first thing to do, once you get engaged is to keep in mind that apart
from all the exciting reception knitty-gritties you need to first
ensure that the following are taken care of: |
Marriage
Preparation Programme |
A compulsory course must be attended by the bride and the groom
to be, either in Konkani or in English. It is either a two or three
days
course that comprises of lectures to educate the young couple who
are to enter in familiy life. It wont be wise for you to wait for
the church readings to get over before you proceed with the wedding
reception details specially if your running out of time.
Its a two year validity course and hence can be done well in advance.
Courses are conducted in Panjim and Margao. The course is conducted
by the Diocesan Family Service Centre. In Panjim it is held at Carital
Holiday Home, ST. INEZ, organised by the department of marriage
formation Diocesan Family Service Centre, Archdiocese of Goa &
Daman. |

Registration
of Marriage |
This
has to be done at the sub-registrar's office in the groom's taluka
with basic documents including the couples birth and residence certificates,
voters card or passport for identification and N.O.C.'s (No Objection
Certificate's) from the court stating "no outside opposition"
concerning both parties (i.e., previous marriages or any objection
towards your marriage) |
|
Approval
from both Parishes |
Each
individual must have a good record with his/her respective parishes.
Hence a one day or week's training with their respective parish
priest's about the ethics and familiy values of christian life is
required before the parish priest submits an N.O.C. (in the brides
case) to the grooms church this is needed for the approval of the
reading of the wedding banns which will be done in both churched
three weeks prior to the day set by the couple.You will be required
to give your conformation certificate to your concerned parish priest,
incase you dont have one than your parish priest will give it to
you on request if you have received conformation in the same church. |
