If one partner is an Indian citizen and the other is a Bangladeshi citizen, marriage in India is usually done under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. This is not a same-day process because a notice of intended marriage must be filed before the Marriage Officer, followed by a 30-day notice period, with objections. For a foreign national, additional documents like passport, valid visa, marital status/single status proof, and embassy-related documents may be required. So, registration within a few days is generally not possible. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
