Can we proceed with a court marriage in Delhi?

I'm from Andhra Pradesh, currently residing and working in Taiwan (R.O.C.). My fiancée is a Taiwanese citizen. I'm planning to get married in India. Me and my fiancee are considering having a court marriage in New Delhi, as it's more convenient for us to fly directly from Taiwan to New Delhi and again fly back to Taiwan from Delhi. My fiancée is working on her NOC, single status certificate, and Indian visa. For myself, I have all the documents, such as the singlehood certificate obtained from the local tahsildar office, passport, Aadhar, PAN, and voter ID. We would like to get married according to the Hindu Marriage Act, and we'll perform the marriage ceremony at any Delhi Hindu temple. Therefore, please let me know if I can do court marriage in New Delhi.

Yes, you can proceed with court marriage in New Delhi. Key requirements for your international marriage include: valid singlehood certificates, digital identification documents, obtaining necessary visas, and completing registration formalities under the Special Marriage Act. Since you have documentation from Andhra Pradesh and your fiancée is preparing Taiwanese documents, you can register your marriage at the Delhi Marriage Registration Office after verifying all procedural requirements.

According to the Special Marriage Act and Hindu Marriage Act, you can legally conduct a court marriage in New Delhi with your Taiwanese fiancée, provided you meet the standard requirements like age verification, single status proof, and valid identification documents. Since both of you have the necessary documentation and she is preparing her NOC and single status certificate, you can proceed with registering your marriage at the Delhi Marriage Registration Office after completing all procedural formalities.
