Registration of marriage between non-Indians in India

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 31 October 2009 This query is : Resolved
I am a US citizen, a Christian, and 2-year resident of India. My fiancee is a muslim from Indonesia, living with me in India on a 6-month tourist visa, granted so we could marry here under the 1954 Special Marriage Act. Mixed-religion marriage is illegal in Indonesia. Sub-registrar is claiming we cannot register to marry here because neither of us is Indian. Can we marry in India: (1) under the Special Marriage Act, or (2) under the Christian Marriage Act?

No. you both are not indian citizens and indian law will not be applicable to you.
