Single status letter for marriage<\/strong>\u00a0is known as\u00a0single status affidavit in India<\/strong><\/a>. Non-residents require it when they are likely solemnize marriage with a foreigner. It is an oath attested by the court, which reveals that the affiant is single.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In general, the foreign authorities like PSA or\u00a0Philippines Statistics Authority<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0are set up in the European and some Asian countries that administer such requests. But since India has no provision to check for the bachelorhood status of even the foreigner, we don\u2019t have any authority, but the court to look into this matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three Single Status Letters Required<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, you read it right. You need three single status letters for marriage. But, these all should be drawn by the applicants (both spouses) and their parents from the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An affidavit is a sworn statement, affirming that the boy or girl who is going to marry is single. In short, you declare the details related to your matrimonial status, date of birth and address.  These all details are shared in front of the deponent, who creates this statement on your behalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deponent monitors your approach and every expression to analyse the genuine interest. Since it shows facts that are true to his knowledge through the statement of the witnesses, it can be used as the evidence in any court later at any point of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
