Marrying a foreigner

Hi,

I want to know if i (Hindu from India) and my boyfriend (Christian from Germany) can get married under Christian marriage act in India without me converting to Christian. If yes, what is the procedure and what documents are required to submit where?

Alternatively, can we get married in Germany under Indian Foreign Marriage Act? I am currently residing at Delhi and my boyfriend is currently living in Germany. If yes, what are the documents needed?

Thanks a lot for your reply.
