What’s the NRI court marriage process and cost in India?
I am an Indian citizen living abroad. I want a court marriage in India under the Special Marriage Act before my visa application, followed by a traditional Hindu wedding later. I’m from Bihar and my partner is from UP. What’s the process and cost?

You both can marry under the Special Marriage Act. File a notice at the marriage registrar in either your or her area, wait 30 days, and then solemnize marriage. Carry valid age, address, and identity proof. Cost depends on state (usually ₹500–₹1500). Being an NRI, check with local SDM office for any extra document needs.
