How can I get CNI in India?

I am a widow and have a 10 year old son. I am now joining my brother's family in Kenya where I intend to marry. I am advised I will need a certificate of NO IMPEDIMENT by the Kenyan Marriage Registrars. How can I obtain this, from whom, what documents will I need and how long does the process take?

To obtain a Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage in Kenya, you need to complete several steps. First, gather the required documents, which include three completed Application MA5 forms, an application letter, three recent passport-sized photographs, certified copies of your Kenyan passport and birth certificate, a certified copy of your fiancé's passport, and the death certificate of your late spouse. You will also need to pay an application fee.Submit your application to the nearest Kenyan embassy or consulate, and expect the processing time to take approximately 15 to 20 days after submission.

A Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage (CNI) is a document issued by the Office of the Registrar of Marriages in Kenya confirming that you have no existing marriage record and therefore qualify to get married outside of the country. for documentation you have to contact govt. officials in Kenya.
