Marriage between two person solemnized anywhere in the world according any country's matrimonial law unless that forbid marriage between its citizen and any foreigner or it provides for only certain class of people in that country, it is valid marriage duly recognized anywhere in the world.
But any marriage taking place in a foreign country according to the matrimonial law of that country will not give jurisdiction to Indian court to adjudicate on any dispute between the parties unless that foreign marriage is either registered under the Indian Foreign Marriage Act or certified under this Act or is registered under the Special Marriage Act,1954.
