Noc requirement for indian citizen marrying a tunisian woman in tunisia

Hello everyone, I am an Indian citizen planning to marry a Tunisian woman in Tunisia. I would like to understand the process for obtaining the NOC / No Objection Certificate or any equivalent document required from the Indian side for marriage registration in Tunisia. Could anyone please guide me on the following? Is an NOC required from the Indian Embassy in Tunisia for an Indian citizen to marry a Tunisian citizen? What documents are usually needed to obtain the NOC? Do Indian documents like passport, birth certificate, single-status certificate, or affidavit need to be attested/apostilled before submission? Is the NOC issued by the Indian Embassy in Tunisia, or should I obtain any document from India before travelling? What is the approximate processing time? Are there any specific Tunisian government requirements for foreign nationals marrying Tunisian citizens? I would really appreciate advice from anyone who has gone through this process recently or has knowledge about Indian-Tunisian marriage documentation. Thank you.
