So in district gurgaon if i wish to marry and get it registered where do i go? I suppose the office of the district registrar. No who is the registrar? one way to do so is to check the official website of haryana http://haryana.gov.in/ . i am sure with the amount of money haryana spends in IT and their desire to make it an IT enabled state(remember gurgaon is the largest exporter of software in the country) . There is no information in the latest releases even though the law came into forec on July 16 2008 and a press release was released on Sept 5, 2008. I guess this should say it all. however i decided persist and i went into the official site of gurgaon district http://gurgaon.nic.in/ . The header says " where dreams are talking shape" but i could not find whom to get my marriage registered. So i guess the next best thing is to go to the mini secretariat and grope my way about . OR i may say well who care's . So much for laws and following it.
