Following a marriage between a foreigner (french) and an indian national, the embassy of France, for the registration is requiring the addition of name on the birth certificate of the indian spouse...
The Municipality of Jaipur from where the birth certificate is issued says it is not possible.
After researches on the internet, in many states of India (including Delhi) the addition of name is not possible after 15 years:
Q How name of the child can be added in the birth certificate?
Ans.: Name of the child can be entered in the Birth Record free of cost within one year occurrence of births either orally or in writing. After one year, but within a period of 15 years (w.e.f. 1.1.2000 as per provisions of DRBD Rules 1999), name can be got entered on payment of Rs.5/- as late fee.
I am trying to find the legal text that shows it is not possible to add a name on a birth certificate after 15 years, so the Embassy doesn't insist on that point. Otherwise they will refuse to register the marriage in France.
On the passport of the indian spouse, all the informations are there: name of the indian spouse, name of the parents, date of birth, issued from Jaipur etc...
How can I proove this rule of 15 years to the Embassy?
Thanks
