As per the Constitution of The Church of North India, marriages are preceded with announcement of banns in all the Churches that come under the purview of The Church of North India. There are 3 instances of announcement of banns wherein the congregations of all Churches are informed about the date of the upcoming marriage. These congregations are also advised to confirm in writing, if there is any just reason why the couple should not get married. The form for Banns is available in the Church office

The marriage service is performed as per the order mentioned in the respective section of the “Book of Worship” of The Church of North India.
