If an Indian Muslim woman wants to marry a Pakistani Muslim man in Saudi Arabia, they must follow Saudi marriage laws. Both need to submit passports, visas, nationality proof, and an unmarried or divorce certificate, and they may need approval from the Indian and Pakistani embassies. After marriage, they must register the marriage with Saudi authorities to get legal rights and residency permits. It is best to confirm all requirements with Saudi authorities and both embassies before proceeding.

To marry in Saudi Arabia, the Indian woman and Pakistani man need valid passports, an NOC from the Indian embassy, proof of residence, and possibly a conversion certificate. The marriage will be governed by Islamic law, and they should register it with the Indian Embassy for recognition in India. No prior permission is needed from the Indian government unless they plan to live in India. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
