Hello
I am a self employed software developer currently residing in Bangalore.
I am in love with a girl from Romania and we wish to get married.
Eventually we wish to settle in her country, so the easiest and quickest visa process for me would be to get married legally to her here.Otherwise it involves two to and fro trips for me to Romania and much expense and intermediate waiting, to get married in their legal system.
With that in mind, she has decided to make the trip here so we can be married.
By birth I am a Hindu and she is a orthodox Christian.I have read and reread the marriage acts, but I cannot find out any information about foreing nationals getting married to Indians.
I believe I have several options ( all of which have a lot of hassles )
1) I apply for registration under Special marriage act : This impossible as she can only get a leave and visa for 28 days so the question of providing a notice 30 days before hand is impossible unless some way is possible of specifying that the both parties need not be present physically.
2) Hindu marriage : She is willing to convert to Hindu religion in order to marry, but so far when I contacted Arya Samaj with the query, they have not been very keen on religious conversion for marriage's sake.
3) Christian marriage : I would be baptized to convert to a christian and we could be married in a church, again I'm not sure about the rules and regulations wrt the notice being filed etc.
4) We could get married in the Romanian embassy, but I have only now applied for a passport ( I have not been living in an adress permanently , so there are problems with that too ) and there are many trips required to the embassy in Delhi.
5) I have heard that the Goanese follow a different law and its much more easy.Would it be possible for a non-Goanese to marry a foreigner there under such laws?
All the problem is because she can be here in India from September 4th to October 1st only , for which she is able to obtain a Visa.
Is it possible to apply for a marriage in court or appeal somewhere so that the process need not go through the 30 days period?
I would spare no expense if it could be done in any possible way and I have a valid marriage certificate in hand by the 10th September.
What option do I have?
Do all the thick lawbooks make no allowance for the fact that two people may be in love and that in the end thats all that really matters in this world?
Hoping for a quick response
