Out-of-State Wedding in India: Registering Your Marriage Locally or Back Home?

I'm getting married in a different state within India, far from where I usually live. Will I be able to register the marriage there, or do I need to go back to my home state for registration

In most cases, you can register your marriage in India regardless of where the wedding takes place, as long as one of you fulfills the residency requirement. Here's the good news:

Convenience for Destination Weddings: This allows you to register your marriage in the state where your wedding is happening, even if it's far from your home state.
Here's what you'll need to consider:

Residency Requirement: The specific residency requirement can vary slightly by state, but it's typically around 30 days for at least one of the marrying parties.

Contact the Local Registrar: It's always best to check with the local marriage registrar's office in the state where you'll get married. They can confirm the exact residency requirement and provide details on the registration process and documents needed. Their website or a quick call should answer your questions.
