Hi guys!
This is my background story. I’m a Canadian citizen planning to get married to an Indian citizen in India. We are planning to do a court marriage because we are of different religions and that seems to be the best option. I had no idea being of different religions plays a huge role in getting married legally. We will do a celebration (reception) with friends and close family after registering the marriage.
I have a couple questions.
What paper work do I need to bring with me to India as a Canadian marrying an indian?
We’re planning to get married in April and do a reception later this year in December. The reason being that I only have 1 month vacation in April and it looks like court marriage paper work will take at least 2 months. So I’ll go back in December to celebrate and have a reception but will apply for sponsorship before December when the marriage certificate comes in.
Do you any of you have any experience in court marriages in India? Or having a reception a few months after the wedding? Just trying to foresee any issues I should prepare myself for.
Thanks in advance!
