Is it easy to solemnize marriage in foreign?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For natives, it\u2019s no big deal. But, the non-residents often encounter difficulties. The foreign immigration officers make their life hell before it. They undergo a rigorous probing session. It\u2019s a tug of war situation. The consul tries to acknowledge whether or not there is any hidden malicious intention beneath. Fraudsters follow bigamy without informing foreign spouse. The idea of acquiring foreign citizenship tempts them. Consequently, all lives split in matrimony. It leads to litigation subsequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

However, the Indian government has initiated a concrete step to fight this illicit practice. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has executed the law of marriage registration for NRIs. The non-resident diaspora has to formally get the marriage certificate within 30 days post-wedding. Otherwise, their passport will be revoked. The detention and penalty can further intensify their pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The imposition of this law led to impounding of 45 passports of the culprit NRIs.  This step is an outcome of rising cases of fraudulent marriages. They encountered issues and challenges in NRI marriages. The MEA got 203 cases in its knowledge between 2012 and 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This situation might not that much severe, if the emigrants\u2019 documents were checked strictly. However, this examining could delay the immigration process. But, it can save many lives. This blog specifically highlights the documentation problems that cause delay in NRI marriages abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
