Dear client,
If your son and his fiancée have a registered marriage in Hong Kong, the marriage certificate will be recognized as a valid marriage in India, as per the provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act. However, they may need to get the marriage certificate apostilled or attested by the Indian Embassy in Hong Kong to ensure its validity in India. It is advisable to consult with a lawyer who specializes in family law and has experience dealing with cross-border marriages to ensure all legal requirements are met.
