Register marriage procedure for andhra girl & goan boy?

I am a divorcée from Hyderabad and boy is from Goa. We insisted on register marriage in Hyderabad and later traditional wedding at the Guy's place in Goa since he is a goan but the boy's parents are insisting that as per Goan law, the marriage has to be registered before a traditional wedding in Goa as it will be easy to get the Portugal Passport for me (he already has passport). Is it true that marriage should be registered only in Goa and registration in Hyderabad will not be valid in case of legal claims of property for our kids, grandchildren in future?

What problems we will face if we perform register marriage in Hyderabad?
Please advise.

A person who has previously married and the marriage is not dissolved, cannot marry again as per GOA marriage registration Act.

Goans residing outside Goa, normally get married under the laws of that place, and do not bother to register their marriages in Goa. It is advisable that the marriages are also registered formally in Goa, by producing the marriage certificate from outside Goa.

this is for information.

There are no problems as far as divorce is concerned, everything is clear.The problem here is that the boy is insisting on a register marriage at his place and we are asking to be done at ours...He specifically insists on some Goan registration only whereas we are saying that marriage registration is same all over India, please advise on this.

you can register your marriage out side GOA, that certificate should be produced before the Marraige registrar at GOA. then it will be registered at GOA.
