Hi Mansleri,

Welcome on board  :)

I have moved your thread to the India forum since your need for information is about the formalities in India.

Have a look at the Getting married in India article, it should provide you some guidelines.

All the best,
Bhavna

If you are in the Netherlands, you should go to the city hall and ask for information.
Also a visit to the website of the IND is a must.

Good luck!

Hi,

I would recommend that first you visit your crush before marriage, meet his family, friends, lookout for his background and then decide on marriage.

I'm no expert on documents required, but there are ample examples of NRI's who are born and brought out side india have married to Indian nationals, you can get your marriage registered in court of law and that can sometime take some time.

@ mansleri & Markesh

Getting legally married to an Indian in India is a complicated and time consuming process.

One needs to stay in India for over 30 days (minimum) before one can apply for it.
In fact, I heard, not too long ago it used to be a minimum 6 months stay.

Anyway, here's an updated article on the topic. Hope it helps you understand the big picture.
India - legal requirements for marriage

I suggest, both of you (as first time visitor) go to India and spend some time there before taking any important decision.

India is a beautiful country but, at the same time, it could be very stressful and frustrating for many who are not familiar with its diverse, complex and often chaotic ways of life. It's neither SE Asia nor Europe ... and definitely far from those lovely bollywood flicks you watch on silver screen.

So hit the reality on the ground first. Travel with a trusted partner and travel safe!

All the best!

Members, including me, are wondering if you were able to gather the information you need.
It will be much appreciated if you share it here as you opened this thread but since then not respond to the ones who were trying to help you.
And with what you shared you help others as well  :)

Hi Everyone,

I am married in India. Is there such an another easy way how my husband can come as soon as possible to Netherlands? We would like to stay first in the Netherlands then later maybe we will  move to India. I saw for a tourist visa you need a one year contract to sponsor him, currently i have a 7 months contract.

Thanks a lot in advance.
