I'm afraid you can't do this.

You have to be physically present in India for your marriage.

This marriage will be performed in accordance in the Hindu rites and rituals, and hence your presence is necessary.

1. The online registration of marriage as not be activated in many states in India and except few pockets in the country like in Kerala without the physical presence of the parties and their finger print impressions the marriage registration is not made legalised in India.

So check in your state in India whether marriage registration video conferencing is legal or not.

Dear Sir,

It may be possible, if rejected by marriage Sub-Registrar you may widen the law by approaching High Court seeking a relief to issue a direction to the concerned Sub-Registrar to get your online marriage registered and marriage certificate be issued. I hope you will successful in your endeavor.

The following is the complete procedure of getting registered marriage done at Bangalore. I don't take responsibility of any change that happens to this, or if you have to pay more at any of the steps. The post is entirely based on my experience with the process and here it goes, which I believe may be helpful for many people who want to get registered marriage done while staying in India.

Below are certain conditions that are entertained while registering your marriage in India:

1) Not Already Married

- Both the partners of same religion.

- Both the partners of different religion.

2) Already married

- Both the partners of same religion.

- Both the partners of different religion.

I am going to explain the most complicated process below that is the one in which both partners belong to separate religion and have not yet got married. Rest all others are much simpler than this one and you can suffice by wedding card, wedding pics, address proofs and photo identification cards. I couldn't find any proper online documentation of this process in which both bride and groom belong to different religion and want to get married, so writing it here:

Documents needed:

1) Address proof: It is important that for any kind of registeration of your marriage (irrespective of you are already married or not), you go to the registrar office that lies in your area of residence, or the area for which you have valid address proof. The valid address proof for the registration requires only ONE of the partners to have any of the following documents with them that are identified by Indian Govt and that claims their current residence in the city as well as in the area, :

- Voter's ID

- Ration Card

- Driving License.

- Passport

As per the Indian law, you will have to get married here in India

If you are an Indian and follows Hindu religion then you will have to get married, and then after the registration of the marriage you may call your wife to Netherland

Marriages are taken place physically and not through video conferencing.

It is not a legal form of marriage at least in India
