• Indian wedding to Pakistani national

Behalf of my Pakistani friend - 

Hi, I am a Pakistani Muslim Girl (living in Karachi) and I have been in a long-distance relationship with an Indian Hindu Guy (living in Delhi) and we want to marry. There are some questions in our minds and also our family's mind that we want to be very clear and confirmed about. Please answer with details.

1. Can I be a Pakistani national forever if I want to while staying in India? (Yes/No)

2. If I apply for Indian nationality after 7 years of living in India, do I have to necessarily leave Pakistani nationality? Is dual nationality not possible? (Yes/No)

3. Will our kids be Indian nationals automatically if born in India? (Yes/No) If yes, can their Pakistani National mother take them to meet their maternal relatives in Pakistan easily? (Yes/No)

4. If I am an Indian national (only) can I visit Pakistan for urgent/emergency reasons? (Yes/No)

5. If yes, how long does the visa usually take for Pakistani nationals?

6. If I am a Pakistani or an Indian National but my husband for sure is an Indian national, can he visit Pakistan with me to meet my family? (Yes/No)

7. How long does it take for an LTV if we are married via court marriage in Nepal?

8. Do you have any stats of such cases in India (Hindu Indian guys marrying Muslim Pakistani girls)?

9. How can I convince my parents that legally and socially I can enjoy a peaceful life in India with him?

10. What documents will my husband require to apply for LTV?

11. Is LTV a multiple entry visa in which I can travel anywhere outside India? What is the duration of an LTV?

12. Can I do a full-time job in India while having all my education from Pakistan staying in India on LTV?

In the end, I would like to thank you all in advance. Please feel free to ask me anything if needed to answer these questions in a much better way.

Pakistan/ Bangladesh/ Afghanistan nationals coming to India on short term visa (on any category of visa applicable to such Pakistan/ Bangladesh/ Afghanistan nationals) and applying for LTV under the above mentioned eligible categories may be granted extension on their short term visas up to a period of six months by the FRRO/ FRO concerned..

8. There are many such marriages that have taken place in the past 

9. It is up to you, no suggestions can be rendered to yor personal affairs.

10.  Documents to be uploaded by the applicant with the LTV application
(i) Copy of Passport
(ii) Copy of Visa and Residential Permit
(iii) Photograph
(iv) Indemnity Bond from the Indian guarantor

(v) Identification proof of the Indian national giving the Indemnity Bond (Indian passport/ Election Identity Card/ Ration card with the photograph of the guarantor) ( Aadhaar card alone will not be accepted as it is not a
proof of Indian nationality of the holder)
(vi) In the case of minors, written consent of the parents for grant of LTV (vii) In the case of category (ii) mentioned in sub- para (A) above i.e. Pakistan/ Bangladesh women married to Indian nationals and staying in India and Afghanistan nationals married to Indian nationals in India & staying in

“Death/ Divorce certificate”

11. FRRO/ FRO concerned is empowered to grant permission to Bangladesh/Afghanistan nationals staying in India on LTV to engage themselves in employment of purely private nature i.e. excluding Government/semiGovernment, local bodies, cooperative jobs etc. In the case of Pakistan nationals
staying in India on LTV, such permission will be granted by the State Government/ UT Administration concerned.

This would be further subject to Police Reporting at the additional place granted within 24 hours of arrival. The
Pakistani national should also take exit from the DCP/ FRO/ FRRO concerned before leaving that place.

 

12. Such persons are permitted to take up self-employment or to do business viz. selling of grocery items, household goods, fruits/ vegetables or any other business activity except in protected, restricted and cantonment areas. However, they will not be permitted to undertake self employment/ business in any contractual labour work related to defence establishment, scientific establishment, sensitive organization, Railways, Ministries, etc.
