If she is a inter faith and foreign national, the marriage can be registered under Special Marriage Act 1954. If both Hindus, then marriage can be take place under the Hindu Marriage Act 1955. The required documents such as passport size photos, proof of address have to be for the registration of marriage in Assam at the local sub register office.
