1. The Business Process Under the Marriage Act, 2014

2. Major Bottlenecks in the Current Process Centralized System of Registration. Licensed officer presides over a Marriage Celebration and issues a Certificate. Registration takes place in the Registrar’s office at the HQ No provision under the Act for compilation of statistics No linkage with other systems especially the NPR and KNBS. Therefore there is no official statistics of registered Marriages and difficulty in establishing family trees in the NPR. Entirely Manual Business Process and Paper based Registry

4. STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS BOTTLENECKS Decentralization of the entire process of Marriage – From Notification, Celebration to Registration Establishment of Linkages between key users of data from the Marriage System i.e KNBS and National Population Register Amendment of the Act to include Provisions on Data compilation and dissemination Policy level intervention and political support for the department to join the NSS and the NPR
