Indian citizen marrying NZ citizen in New Zealand


16-May-2023 (In Family Law)
Hello, I am a NZ citizen and will be marrying an Indian Citizen here in New Zealand at the end of this year. We will also have a wedding in India after the NZ wedding. Will a NZ marriage certificate be valid for the Indian Government? Will she need to register the NZ marriage with the Indian government? If so, can she do it via the high commission in Wellington, NZ or will she need to do it when she's in India? I am Christian, she is Hindu.
