I went to the Indian Embassy in Russia, for a single status and they informed that do do not issue the same anymore. And adviced the following to me for getting single status
"Your parents (father in my case, as my mother is deceased) have to declare that my son is divorced and till death he is not married on a Stamp Paper. Following which he should get notorised, and the Magistrate should put a stamp on the same. And after this an Apsotille is required."
I understand that I have to declare that I am not married (for which I have to fly to India) but for my father to declare it is not right as I am 35 and atleast now I should be treated as a mature Indian Citizen governing and deciding who I choose to live with.
Is the embassy lagally right in asking for parent declaration for single status
