UIn so many shows and movies it is shown that ml and fl came into contract marriage for 6 months or 1 year or they have some sort of agreement that the girl cannot demand alimony or like one party will pay other some amount and then they have to leave or that marriage will end if the conditions were not fulfilled or any other conditions. So in that case, marriage will be considered legal or not?

Afaik, any kind of contracts or agreements (even pren ups) are null and void during divorce settlements and won’t be considered.

MLawyer here.
No such contract marriages are not legal in India.
What you are saying is similar to Muta marriages in the Muslim community. But such Muta marriages are also not common among Muslims in India too.
Besides you can not make an agreement that the wife will not claim maintenance before marriage as it will be against Indian law.
However, one can make an agreement that the wife will take a certain amount of maintenance or the wife forfeits her right of maintenance at the time of divorce.

UOkay
Idk why is it such a popular trope in ITV. People who have no knowledge about this will think this is legal.-
MYes, for a marriage to be valid, essential requirements need to be fulfilled.
Such as certain religious ceremonies among Hindus as Saptapadi and Pani Grahan to be performed. Among Muslims, proposal and acceptance should be there.
If these are performed properly, then marriage is valid irrespective of any agreement. There are other requirements too.

UMost of the Amir Khan type personalities do this in Bollywood if you have tons of money, lawyers and media support. You can even have many wives with the support of your spouse if you can force her to sign the contract. Now a days, most of the high profile marriages are contract marriages with end date itched in it.
