Indian migrants in Germany encounter many problems before solemnizing marriage. Of course, that’s a foreign country where no Hindu Marriage Act is mentioned in its law-book. But still, NRIs do marry with the Germans.
Like the Special Marriage Act (1954), the German government allows inter-religion marriage. It is observed in the very presence of the Standesamt (synonymous to Registrar). The couple must produce certificate of no marriage before him. Don’t get confuse over certificate of no impediment to marriage since the fore is synonymous to it. Why NRIs need it? It certifies that the applicant is very much applicable for legible marriage anywhere. It proves the single status of its holder. But the presence of defaulters always poses a threat. Some educational institutions make it mandatory to present this certificate overseas. In addition, many offshore offices also require it during recruitment. What if Indian authority in Germany does not issue it? Indian consul does not hold the right to issue it. So, the applicant must seek exemption from the German President of the Higher Regional Court (Oberlandesgericht). How to apply for it in India? Indian government has delegated many authorities to issue it. So, one can apply for the certificate of no marriage in India. This provision is introduced for the convenience of Indian diaspora in foreign countries. But it does not imply that Indian natives are barred from it. Indeed, the Hindu Marriage Act and the Special Marriage Act negate possibility to have this document in India for marriage. Apply to these authorities:
