No, the marriage cannot be registered in India. The legal age for marriage in India is 21 years for the groom and 18 years for the bride. However in this case marriage can be solemnised in Ireland without any hindrance. However with respect to the spouse Visa, the VISA will not be granted just because a marriage took place until the groom can show his capability to successfully sponsor the visa of the bride. The immigration authorities will especially look closely at the history of the relationship to ensure that the marriage is not for the purpose of immigration.

An Irish groom can legally marry a 22-year-old Indian bride in India without legal issues, provided the marriage complies with Indian laws. For inter-country marriages, the Special Marriage Act, 1954 is usually applicable, as it allows civil registration regardless of religion. Both parties must be above the legal age of marriage (21 for groom, 18 for bride), provide proof of identity, age, and nationality, and submit a notice of intended marriage at the local marriage registrar. This notice is publicly displayed for 30 days to allow objections. If no objections arise, the marriage can be solemnized and officially registered, and a valid marriage certificate is issued, which is recognized for legal purposes in India and abroad.
Legal Recognition in Ireland and Spouse Visa
Once registered in India, the marriage is generally recognized in Ireland. To marry or validate the marriage there, the couple must submit a Marriage Notification Form at the local civil registration office at least three months prior. Required documents include passports, the Indian marriage certificate, and proof of single status. After recognition, the Irish spouse can sponsor the Indian spouse for a spouse visa, allowing residency and work rights in Ireland. The visa requires proof of genuine marriage, financial stability, and adequate accommodation.
