Can NRI couples or foreigners get married legally in India?

  /  Can NRI couples or foreigners get married legally in India?

Yes. Hindu couples can register under the Hindu Marriage Act after their ceremony. All couples regardless of religion can use the Special Marriage Act 1954 which requires 30 days’ residence in India before the notice period. Most NRI and diaspora couples choose to marry legally at home and hold the full cultural celebration in India. US nationals should check with the US Embassy in India. UK nationals should refer to the FCDO’s marriage abroad guidance.
