The procedure depends on the State where you are registering the marriage and the applicable law. In many cases, both spouses must appear before the Marriage Registrar. However, some States may permit registration through a Power of Attorney or other legally recognized alternatives if one spouse is abroad. Contact the local Marriage Registrar or consult a family lawyer for the correct procedure. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
