hello,

in the SMA, the notice has to be received by the persons residing at the place of the person about to get married. if you want to get your marriage registered in Kolkata then you have to go to the office of the marriage registrar there. he will send notices from Kolkata to places where you both have residences.

you can register the marriage in any state but the physical presence is not required, the groom's member of the family can also take the notice. you have to hire a lawyer who will do the needful. you have to be present before the registrar at the time of marriage.

regards

it is better you get married in Bangalore as you have residence proof of Bangalore

2) it is not necessary that both should remain physically present for giving notice of marriage .

3) if it is not possible for groom to remain physically present it is sufficient if application form is signed by groom and duly attested by Indian consulate

4) you cannot send notice by regd post to registrar office

1. if you have address of proof in kolkata then you can register such marriage if not then address of your near relative is also enough.

2. There is no way one can apply and complete the registration process though postal medium. You need a professional to complete the procedure for which signature of both if you in needed in the form and after 30 days on the date of final registration presence of both of you is mandatory.

This is my response to you:

1. Persons belonging to different relations and faiths can have their marriage Solemnized under this Act;

2. Marriages performed under other forms can also be registered under this Act;

3. The persons intending to register their marriage have to give notice thereof in writing in Triplicate in forms specified under second schedule under Section 5 to the marriage officer of the District in which at least one of the parties to the marriage have reside for a period of not less than 30 days immediately preceding the date on which notice is given;

4. After the receipt of the notice the marriage officer shall enter a true copy in the marriage notice Book and shall cause the notice to be published in the notice board of his office and also see that the notice is published in the office of the marriage Registrar in whose District the parties are permanently residing;

5. Any person before the expiration of 30 days may make an objection that the marriage contravenes the essential conditions noted above;

6. After the expiry of 30 days of notice the Sub-Registrar shall register the marriage after the Bridegroom and Bride sign a declaration in form specified in the Third Schedule in the presence of three witness and they should utter in the language known i(a) take the (b) I take b) to be my lawful wife.

7. Therefore after that there can be a garland ceremony and after above procedure is over the parties will be issued an extract of the marriage register.

Therefore in further response to you:

1. You will have to be physically present;

2. Perform the ceremony and register the marriage at Bangalore since your address proofs are of that place;

3. You will also not require extra documents more than aadhar card;

4. Yes, it is important that both the couple are present;

5. You must engage a lawyer if you have confusions relating to the legalities involved in the procedure.

1. even though the groom can sign the marriage form in the USA, he still needs to be verify and identify his signature by personally being present before the Marriage Registrar

2. he would also be required to enter his signature in the register of marriage maintained by the registrar for records

3. you can register the marriage either at Kolkata or Bangalore

For marriage you need age proof, residential proof, identity cards of both along with a affidavit pertaining to the marital status.

2. You can register in both banglore and Kolkata if you have residence in kolkata both are totally valid,

3 Yes notice can be give,

4. No it can be done through post,

1. You have decided to marry under SMA as you belong to different faiths. In your case it will not be a mere registration of marriage, you will have to marry under SMA by filing an application before the marriage registrar. The application for marriage under SMA can be filed to the office of marriage registrar within whose jurisdiction either of the two resides. The address proof will have to be annexed along with the application.

2. The marriage registrar under SMA will accept your application only and only if he is satisfied that you or your partner have the address proof of Kolkata.

3. The application has to be filed in person.

Since you have all your identity proofs at Bangalore address you may have to register the marriage at Bangalore alone.

The notice of intent can be submitted by you to registrat for both.

At least one party to the marriage may by present while submitting the application form.

Form should be attested before Indian consulate

2) mere notarised form would not be accepted

3) number of lawyers on this website from Bangalore contact any of them

See you can just submit notice by yourself signed by the groom but the registrar shall give a date for document verification on that prescribed day your groom need to be present before registrar. Further the notice signed by him shall be notarised and attested by Indian Consulate.

For this purpose you dont require the assistance of any lawyer.

You can submit the notice of intent of both together to the Special marriage officer.

The other party need not be present while submitting the application form.

There are plenty of lawyers from Bangalore are available in this forum, you an select one.

Hope your query has been satiated over phone regarding procedures to be followed in this regard.
