Special Marriage requirements and documents

Jacaranda
Don't we have to provide both of us a proof of address of minimum 30 days? What are all the documents needed for the Indian marriage? How and where can the foreigner get the affidavit?

For a foreigner to marry an Indian in India, they need to choose whether they want a civil ceremony or a religious ceremony. A civil ceremony is performed at the marriage registrar’s office and requires a 30-day notice period. A religious ceremony is performed according to the customs of the respective religion and may or may not require registration with the local authority. They need to have a valid passport, visa, birth certificate, and proof of address and residency in India for at least one of the parties. They also need to obtain a certificate of no impediment or single status from their home country’s embassy or consulate, stating that they are not already married or have any legal obstacle to marry. They need to submit their application for marriage along with the required documents and fees to the concerned authority. They may also need to publish their notice of marriage in a local newspaper and invite any objections within a specified period. They need to appear before the marriage officer or the religious authority on the appointed date and time and solemnize their marriage in the presence of at least three witnesses. They need to sign the marriage certificate and register their marriage with the local authority if required.
