The Supreme Court has said that Hindu marriage is a sacrament, which has the status of a sacred institution in Indian society. This dance and song event has not taken place yet. The Supreme Court has said in clear words that to make a Hindu marriage valid, it needs to be done with proper rites and rituals. The rituals related to marriage should be followed sincerely. The apex court has said that in case of disputes, it is necessary to present proof of following the customs. In the decision, the Supreme Court has clarified the legal requirements and sanctity of Hindu marriage under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955.

The bench of Justice Biwi Nagarathna and Justice Augustine George Masih has said that a marriage performed without traditional rites or rituals like Saptapadi is not going to be considered a Hindu marriage. In other words, the rituals required for a valid marriage under the Act have to be followed. Failure to do so will not constitute a Hindu marriage as per Section 7 of the Act. The Court has said, registration of marriage under Section 8 of the Hindu Marriage Act facilitates proof of marriage, but it does not give validity to it unless the marriage is solemnized in accordance with Section 7 of the Act. 

...then the marriage cannot be registered: The bench said, if the Hindu marriage is not done as per the customs, then the registration cannot be done. In the absence of a valid Hindu marriage the registering officer will not be able to register such marriage under the provisions of Section 8 of the Act.
