How can I register my marriage with a foreign spouse?

Dear Sir/Madam, I hope this message finds you well. I am an Indian Muslim man, married to a Bangladeshi Muslim woman under Muslim marriage law in 2021. I wish to have our marriage officially registered in India. However, I encountered a challenge when I spoke to a registrar, who informed me that it cannot be done because my spouse is Bangladeshi. Additionally, the registrar mentioned that my spouse would need an Aadhaar card for the registration process. I am seeking your guidance on the correct procedure for registering our marriage, particularly in cases where one spouse is a foreign national. Could you kindly advise on where we can get this done, and whether it is possible to complete the process online? I have come across several videos on your channel where it was suggested that the registration can be done easily, and I would greatly appreciate your assistance in helping us navigate this process. Thank you in advance for your time and support.

To register your marriage in India with a foreign spouse, you can apply under the Special Marriage Act. The process can be done online, and your spouse may not need an Aadhaar card, but a valid passport and visa will be required. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with the best course of action. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
