Legality of Arya samaj marriage with foreign national


18-Nov-2023 (In Civil Law)
Hi, I am jain and I would like to marry a phillipines national Christian lady. I got advice by a advocate from tiz hari court in delhi that I can marry her through Arya Samaj marriage where the lady has to convert to Hinduism and I can get a marriage certificate within 1 week. I want to check how valid the certificate will be. Also me and the lady both are working in UAE and will the conversion of the lady will affect her work visa in Dubai.

Dear
arya samaj marriages are legally valid amongst hindus. i.e. only hindus within the the definition of hindu under hindu marriage act can marry through arya samaj. therefore without conversion , the marriage cannot be solemenised among people of different religions. however, as a Matter of precaution while conversion do get the conversion published in any newspaper. this makes the registration process easier as the doubt of sham marriage is removed. the conversion is also done by arya samaji priest.
