Failing to consult an advocate for marriage registration can expose you to several risks, such as overlooking legal technicalities, missing deadlines, or submitting incorrect documentation. In some cases, the marriage might not be recognized legally, leading to future complications, especially concerning inheritance rights, property ownership, or any legal disputes. An advocate helps prevent these risks by ensuring that the entire process is done according to the law, protecting your legal rights as a married couple. Without expert guidance, you may inadvertently end up in a situation where your marital status is questioned or disputed in the future.
