Christian matrimony for families
Christian families in India usually look first at denomination, such as Catholic, Protestant or Orthodox, and often at the parish or church the family belongs to. Mafimo lets you share these details if you wish, involve your family, and connect only with verified people.
Denomination and parish
Christian communities in India range from Syro-Malabar and Latin Catholics to CSI, CNI, Marthoma, Pentecostal and Orthodox churches. Many families look for a match within their own denomination; others are open more widely.
Stating your denomination, and adding your parish if you like, helps families find common connections quickly.
Preparing for a church wedding
Practical steps families often plan for:
- Documents your church may ask for, such as baptism and confirmation certificates.
- A marriage preparation course, which many dioceses require.
- Announcement of the marriage in church in the weeks before the wedding.
- Registration of the marriage, which gives an official certificate.
The law
Christian marriages in India are solemnised under the Indian Christian Marriage Act, 1872. Your parish priest can explain the steps your church follows.
