The Anand Vivah Act relates to marriages within the Sikh community.
This Act was passed by the Parliament in the year 2012.
At that time it was applicable in all the states/union territories except Jammu and Kashmir.
This Act has also come into force in Jammu and Kashmir in December 2023.
In the Sikh community it is called 'Anand Karaj'.
It means ‘working towards happiness’ or ‘working towards a happy life’.
It was started by Sikh Guru Amar Das.
The purpose of this Act is to legally validate marriages performed in accordance with Sikh traditions.
Due to Article 370, it was not applicable in Jammu and Kashmir but now after 11 years it has been implemented in Jammu and Kashmir also.
