6 Benefits of Registering your Marriage

Marriage marks a big change in our life. Before taking such a major step, let’s all be responsible and take consideration of the marital rights that our country of residence has to offer. Only when we are legally married, we can exercise all these legal rights. There are various merits of a court registered marriage. 5 of them are as follows:-

1. Ensuring Legal Rights
Marriage registration establishes legal right. Without legal standing, you are curtailed of exercising your basic rights. Women in Nepal are susceptible to domestic violence, exploitation, abuse. Therefore, we encourage you to have your marriage registered and secure your own right.

2. Tax Benefits    
Filing joint income tax returns to the taxing authorities allows you to manage your income responsibly. This creates a family partnership that helps you to divide the income among your family members responsibly.

3. Benefits in Property Planning
When you are married legally, you have the right to inherit a share of your spouse’s estate. You can also create various trusts that are restricted to married couples including marital tax deduction trusts. And, if your spouse needs a conservator-that is, someone to make financial or medical decisions on your spouse’s behalf, you gain an obtaining priority.

A legally married individual can obtain insurance benefits through their spouse’s employer. You can also exercise your right to take family leave to care for your spouse during an illness.

Most of the organizations allow bereavement leave if your spouse or one of your spouse’s close relatives dies.

5. Medical Rights
A legal union ensures the right to visit your spouse in a hospital intensive care unit or during restricted visiting hours in other parts of a medical facility. And you are also liable to make any medical decisions if your spouse becomes incapacitated and unable to express wishes for treatment.

A legal marriage allows you to have and maintain harmony in your relationship during the times of difficulties too. For example, if you decide to get divorced, you are liable to receive a share of marital property.

  1. A great marriage is not when the perfect couple comes together, it is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences. A successful marriage requires falling in love many times always with the same person.
