Legal Light Consulting: Premier Law Firm for NRI and Foreigner Marriages in India

Legal Light Consulting, established in 2018 in New Delhi, is a premier law firm dedicated to simplifying this process and providing exceptional legal services for court marriages and marriage registrations.
Understanding NRI Court Marriage
An NRI court marriage involves the union between an Indian citizen and an NRI or PIO. In India, such marriages are governed under specific legal frameworks to ensure they are valid and recognized both domestically and internationally. The Special Marriage Act (SMA) is one such framework commonly used for NRI marriages, particularly in Delhi.
Procedures for NRI, PIO, or Foreigner Marriages in India
In India, for a marriage to be considered legal, it must comply with certain traditional and legal procedures. Registration of marriages has become a legal necessity in several states, and it is also crucial for VISA and immigration purposes. An official marriage certificate from the court or the registrar of marriage is indispensable in these contexts.
The Legal Frameworks
- Hindu Marriage Act 1955
- Eligibility: Both parties must be Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, or Sikhs by religion.
- Ceremonial Requirement: The marriage must be solemnized according to Hindu customs and rituals.
- Registration: Post-ceremonial marriage, registration under the Hindu Marriage Act is necessary for legal recognition.
- Documentation: Includes age proof, residence proof, photographs, and a marriage invitation card.
- Marriage Certificate: Issued by the Registrar post-registration.
- Special Marriage Act 1954
- Eligibility: Applicable to all individuals, irrespective of their religion.
