Dear Client, You can select a country that is easily accessible to both of you, such as the UAE or Thailand, and register your marriage with the Indian Embassy/Consulate there, as per the Foreign Marriage Act of 1969. The easiest options are marrying in the U.S. or utilizing an Indian Embassy/Consulate in a third country to register your marriage. I hope this answer is helpful. In case of further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank You.

If you cannot travel to India, the safest legal option is to marry in the USA under the Foreign Marriage Act at the Indian Consulate. Both of you must be physically present, and at least one party must have completed 30 days’ residence before giving notice. The marriage certificate issued is valid in India.For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
