We have a case in our company wherein an employee has submitted a marriage certificate in the local language, i.e., Bangla. Please let me know, can we accept that document as proof of marriage, or should we ask the employee to submit an affidavit of the same?

I recommend that you follow a procedure similar to the passport office. Instruct the employee to have the document translated into English, with the translation duly authorized by a notary. Do not accept an affidavit. Alternatively, advise them to obtain the marriage certificate in English from the local Municipality Office.

One option is to get it translated into English, but generally, companies do accept marriage certificates in local languages as well. I have come across several instances where companies do not mind accepting marriage certificates in vernacular languages.

For any positive act, the certificate is not mandatory (i.e., Birth, Marriage). You can take a written application from the applicant for recording in your office documents. If he gets the same translated and notarized, then it will be the correct document. However, for negative acts like Death & Divorce, proper documents must be accepted, and a written application will not suffice.
Purpose of Demanding the Certificate
What is the purpose of demanding the certificate? Will it have any role to play in your office record? If he submits any false certificate, then the ultimate sufferer will be the applicant himself and no one else. In the case of any death, the nominee has to submit the correct document to prove themselves as the legal heir. Only then will you release any payment. Hence, it is not mandatory to collect any document.
This is my opinion.

We have a case in our company wherein an employee has submitted a marriage certificate in the local language, i.e., Bengali. Please let me know if we can accept that document as proof of marriage or not, as it is difficult to understand regional languages, or should we ask the employee to submit an affidavit of the same?
Language Requirements for Official Documents
Well, as we all know, English is our business and communication language. The marriage certificate is supposed to be in both languages (Local/Regional and English). For example, the EPF claim form is available in two languages (Hindi & English).
