According to the Administrative Reforms Commission, marriages by video conference can be performed by the sub-registrars.
There are allegations that some registrars check the couple's name and inspect documents like their school certificate to determine their religion.
It was facilitated to ensure a family pension for their son, who is of unsound mind.
The bench directed the central government's lawyer to seek instructions on the government policies on facial recognition and other data tools for the identification of the parties.
The law must not only change with the changing social needs but it must also acknowledge the advancements in technology, the High Court opined.
The couple’s application for the certificate in Changanassery had been rejected since they could not appear in person.
