If you are from the States, they should have it in the “Hall or Record”. I am not sure how they work in India, maybe if you filed it with the local government and they should have some sort of record of your marriage.
Since after the death of your husband now you cannot apply or get marriage certificate after its registration under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 as a joint application along with individual affidavit of both the spouses is required for the purpose of the registration of the Hindu Marriage under section 8 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 rather even for the purpose of the registration of the marriage even under any other central or local marriage registration Act a similar requirement is there. In your case your husband is no more to apply jointly with you for the registration of this marriage hence you have to use any other document such as a certificate issued by the priest who preformed your marriage or the temple where you got married, along with this the photographs of the marriage ceremonies, wedding card, name of your husband being mentioned in the birth certificate of your child as the father or in the voter’s identity card as your husband or the ration card or your passport or any document issued by any government or any public authority where your husband’s name was mentioned as your husband to identify this fact that you both were married. The courts in India have recognized any such documents as mentioned above along with a long period of staying together as husband & wife in the society sufficient proof of being married couple. You can procure any such document which I mention here & along with that you can give your affidavit stating about your marriage on the date , place & according to Hindu ceremonies , marital status as ‘now widow’ & naming him as your ex-husband. All these will be sufficient evidence for proving your marriage before any authority in India or any other place in these circumstances as you are now having his widow’s status.
