Hi Expert,
I am bit confused about marriage certificate. In last November I got married
to a foreign citizen girl and now she is gone back to UK. We are trying to register
our marriage through corporation but they said they do not have authority
to register inter religious marriage, neither Bombay marriage act has.
I have heard about special marriage act would do, could you please provide
some information regarding the same. She is not in india right now and her
presence is required for registration? How long does it take to get the certificate?
I hope that certificate can be used for appyling visa.
Kindly explaing the process and prerequision if any.
Thanks in advance,
Jaydeep

jaydeep! You missed the valuable opportunity at the time when your wife was here. You might have got your marriage registered at that time as the personal presence of your wife is needed for the registration of marriage even under special marriage act, however, it shall take only a time of single day to perform this act. Either under special marriage Act or HMA, the bride and bridegroom's presence before the marriage registrar (marriage officer) is mandatory.

Sir thank you very much for your help,
just a little doubt, how many times the presence of both the parties required? My wife is in uk right now, can we apply without her presence and once we get the notice after that she can come to india...
Many thanks,
jaydeep
