Yes, an Indian and a Nepali citizen can legally marry in India under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. Both partners must provide valid ID proof, address proof, passport-size photographs, age proof, and a single-status affidavit. A 30-day public notice period is mandatory before registration at the Marriage Registrar’s office. It is advised to consult an expert matrimonial lawyer who will assist you with the best course of action. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
