Yes, a foreigner and an Indian of the same religion can register their marriage under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. This law allows marriage between individuals of different nationalities or religions. Both must be of legal age (18 for the bride, 21 for the groom) and give a 30-day notice. The marriage will be solemnized in front of a marriage officer and two witnesses. It is best to consult a lawyer for proper guidance. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
