Hi

You have to register under the provisions of the Foreign marriage act by following the procedure of giving notice of intended Marriage as per the "The Foreign Marriage act 1969".the date of your marriage shall be form the date of signing the marriage before the Registrar of marriages under The Foreign Marriage act, 1969.This means your date of marriage will not be your Muslim marriage.

OR

if you have married outside the country as per Islamic provisions you can register it in India under foreign Marriage act,1969, by providing the proof of that marriage.

where did you get married ? if anywhere outside India you can register it under foreign marriage act.

If you have solemnized your marriage outside India as per Islamic provisions, it is possible under law to register your marriage in India under Sec.17 of The Foreign Marriage act 1969", For this you need to have a proof to show that your marriage is solemnized in Indonesia. The marriage officer in India has to be satisfied that the marriage took place as per section 4 of the act, which talks about the conditions required to marry.

Now the section 17 of the Foreign Marriage act 1969" is as follows.:-

solemnized in a foreign country in accordance with the law of that

that he or she desires the marriage to be registered under this

section, the Marriage Officer may, upon payment of the prescribed

fee, register the marriage.

(2) No marriage shall be registered under this section unless at the

time of registration it satisfies the conditions mentioned in section

(3) The Marriage Officer may, for reasons to be recorded in

writing, refuse to register a marriage under this section on the

ground that in his opinion the marriage is inconsistent with

international law or the comity of nations.

If either of you are foreign national you can get the marriage registered under special marriage act in India for which personal presence of both parties is required.

If you find this procedure beyond your convenience then you can get the marriage registered under foreign marriage registration act from the office of Indian consulate situated in the country of the spouse who is a foreign national.

hi, yes you can get it done under the provision of special marriage act..your presence will be needed here in India while registration

1. The marriage can be registered under Special Marriage Act. A marriage between an Indian citizen and a Foreigner is governed by Special Marriage Act which allows marrying Indians from different religions or Indians and foreigners to get married. The act also governs the marriages of both the parties to the marriage being Indian but from different religious backgrounds .i.e. Inter caste marriages.

2. If the marriage registrar does not register the marriage then a writ petition may be filed in the High Court to seek binding directions to him to register the marriage.

if you dont want to file writ get married under provisions of SMA in India

2) the entire process would not take more than a month or so

If you are also Indian citizen then what is problem? Your marriege must be eligible to be registered. Another thing, you want to go back your motherland officially again....but why are you telling to authority.

Even if he is a foreigner it can be registered if one person is of home country. In India with the help of special marriage Act such marriages are solemnised and also registered. If they are not answering your querry then file RTI application and get details for the same and get registered your marriage.

1. Writ will not take time, rather it is a speedy remedy. There is no remedy under Indian constitutional/legal framework speedier than a writ.

2. This is the only speedy and efficacious remedy available.

Contact a local lawyer who can help you with this internally.

If you two have a Aadhar Card then the marriage can be registered accordingly. The registration of marriage act applies to both Hindu and Muslim.

Since one of the party to the marriage is a foreigner, the marriage cannot be registered under any other law except special marriage act.

In India, civil weddings are governed by the provisions of The Special Marriage Act (1954). Under the Act, there’s a 30 day residency requirement, which means that either the bride or the groom has to be living in India for at least 30 days prior to applying to the local registry office to get married. For foreigners, this is evidenced by a certificate from the local police station.

You’ll need to submit your In addition, evidence of eligibility to be married is usually required. Anyone who hasn’t been married should obtain a single status affidavit (in the US), a Certificate of No Impediment (in the UK), or Certificate of No Record (in Australia). If you’re divorced, you’ll need to produce the Decree Absolute, or if you’re widowed, a copy of the death certificate.

If no objections to the marriage are received within 30 days of the application, a civil ceremony at the registry office can then take place. Three witnesses are required, who have to provide passport sized photographs, as well as identification and proof of address. The marriage certificate is usually issued a couple of weeks after the wedding.

You dont require a lawyer to handle this issue.

You being a foreigner, dont insist on immediate registration of your marriage.

You can follow the procedures to be adopted for registering the marriage by a foreigner to an India as envisaged in the special marriage act.

The brief outlines have been furnished in my previous post.

You can get into action directly, if the sub registrar is not obliging, you can have an audience with the district registrar with an application narrating your bitter/harrowing experience with the ill-knowledge officials in this regard and request for his intervention and relief.

There would be little difficulty in the registration of the marriageso you have to solemnise your marriage under special marriage act.

Hi, with so many responses you already have, it is suggested to take the help of embassy of your country and get the things expedite.
