Marriage registration

Hi, I am a Married Kashmiri Hindu from the State of J&K ,Now  Living in Noida. I had applied for Marriage registration under Hindu Marriage Act from the state of Delhi as my Wife is from Delhi and the Marriage took place in Delhi. 

But I was Told by the SDM that my marriage cannot be registered in Delhi because I am from J&K and passport also holds the Address of J&K.although the applicant who filed for registration lives in delhi.

Can somebody please throw some light on this.

Thanks,

Piyush
