Yes, you can. Since many have already covered most points, I will not repeat them. These documents are also signed by two other witnesses ruling out the possibility of it being personal. The registration is also utilized for other purposes like loan, will, employment, change in name etc. (In most cases the bride changes her name.) You may recall that its mandatory for all change in names be declared public by printing in gazette or local newspapers. This was much before
RTI came into force. As such all marriages come under the public domain.
You may use these arguments in case the
PIO claims excemption.
