You can get married under provisions of special marriage act in Kerala

In case a marriage between an Indian and a foreign national is to take place in India, generally its required to file a notice of intended marriage with a Marriage Registrar .. That notice is required to be published for the stipulated 30 days. At the end of the 30 days the Marriage Registrar is free to perform the marriage.

2) The notice of intended marriage can only be given in India, if at least one partner is permanently and the other partner temporarily resident in India.

If one partner is residing in a foreign country then the partner who is resident in India will have to fill out the “Marriage Notice” collected from the Marriage Registration Office of his/her choice in India and send it to his/her partner in the foreign country who will also have to fill it out. This “Notice” should then be sent back to the partner in India who will have to re-submit it at the Marriage Registration Office. After the stipulated waiting period of 30 days the marriage can take place in India. Under the Special Marriage Act, 1954 a certificate showing the signatures of the persons married, the registrar and the witnesses will be issued. This Certificate is required as proof of the marriage and when applying for a visa to for a foreign country.

3) The following documents are required for both the partners:

a valid Passport

original Birth Certificate showing parents' names

documentary evidence regarding stay in India of the parties for more than 30 days (ration card or report from the concerned SHO)

4) you would need no objection letter from yemeni embassy or consulate

Dear Sir,

You follow the below givedn official information.

If bride and groom belongs to different Religion, they can get married in two ways. In the way one; either of the couple should covert their religion to other's religion. Then according to that religion they can be get married. But if they are not planning to convert their religion, they should opt for Register marriage according to Special Marriage act, 1954 (43 of 1954) The Fourth Schedule.

It is very important to note that if they stay as different religion and married via either of religious procedure, the marriage is not legal. For eg. consider Fiancé is Christian and Fiancée is Hindu. If they married in a Church or in a Temple, the marriage has no legal validity. If they married in an auditorium or other such places, they should register their marriage as per Special Marriage act. (Circular/Inter-religious Marriages (63882/R.C.3/2010 ) Dated 28/02/2011)

The signed application for marriage under Special marriage act cannot be reject by the Registrar under any circumstances.

Notice

In the next step notice will go to the local Registrar's office of both bride and groom. It will be displayed on the notice board of the respective Registrar's office for 30 days. Anybody having objection to register this marriage can approach to Registrar with their evidence. The objection should be genuine, for eg. the applicant married earlier and not divorced legally, applicant is mentally retarded etc. It should notice that the parents or relatives of applicant's or any other person cannot object.

Registration of Marriage

After 30 days of period Non Objection Certificate will return to the Registrar's office where they submit application.

This is governed by the provisions of The Special Marriage Act (1954).

For foreigners, this is evidenced by a certificate from the local police station.

You’ll need to submit your Notice of Intended Marriage to the registry office, along with evidence of residency, certified copies of passports and birth certificates, and two passport sized photographs each. It's only necessary for one of the parties, not both, to be present to submit the intention to marry.

In addition, evidence of eligibility to be married is usually required. Anyone who hasn’t been married should obtain a single status affidavit (in the US), a Certificate of No Impediment (in the UK), or Certificate of No Record (in Australia). If you’re divorced, you’ll need to produce the Decree Absolute, or if you’re widowed, a copy of the death certificate.

If no objections to the marriage are received within 30 days of the application, a civil ceremony at the registry office can then take place.

Three witnesses are required, who have to provide passport sized photographs, as well as identification and proof of address. The marriage certificate is usually issued a couple of weeks after the wedding.
