Visa Applications: It is useful in obtaining visas for the wife or husband.
Financial Claims: It can assist in claiming bank deposits or life insurance benefits if the account holder or policyholder dies without a nomination or otherwise.
Preventing Fraud: It helps in preventing frauds related to marriages.
