Arjun Rampal registered his marriage to longtime girlfriend Gabriella Demetriades in Goa on Friday under the state's Uniform Civil Code. The couple completed formalities at the Sub-Registrar's Office in Mapusa, North Goa, in the presence of close friends, with the marriage certificate to be handed over after 15 days, Sub-Registrar Suraj Vernekar told PTI.
The couple, together since 2018 and parents to two sons Arik and Ariv, obtained special permission from the Assistant Public Prosecutor to waive the mandatory 15-day waiting period under local law, according to reports. Siasat.com notes the registration marks an unexpected new chapter after Rampal had previously said they did not need marriage to validate their relationship, while Times of India reports their engagement was confirmed on a podcast in December 2025.
This is Rampal's second marriage, he was earlier married to Mehr Jesia, with whom he has two daughters, and their divorce was finalised in 2019.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three sources report the same core facts without significant editorial slant, making this a uniform straight-news story. The key difference is in framing: ABP and ToI lead with the legal process and the UCC detail, while Siasat.com emphasizes the relationship timeline and the couple's earlier statements against marriage. This reflects a wire-service versus feature-narrative split rather than any ideological stance. Readers should note that Goa's Uniform Civil Code is a distinctive legal framework applicable to all residents regardless of religion, which gave the registration its procedural basis.
