Thank you all for your answers. Actually, I have previously discussed with some lawyers physically, who are telling that, there are restrictions to marriage Bangladeshi citizen (groom) in India. According to them: ''If the Bangladeshi boy is the permanent resident of Bangladesh having the all testimonial documents are of Bangladesh then it is not possible for you to get married with him unless you get very special permission from the proper Authority". Could any of you please enlighten me about it. Is there exists any restriction in our marriage law in India to get marry with Bangladeshi boy?
Hi
You may get married as per Foreign marriage Act. In this case, you have to ask permission from ministry of foreign affairs regarding his stay, marriage arrangement and marriage registration. The signature of Embassy level of his country may be required for authentication of his documents.
You can approach registrar for solemnisation of marriage under SMA
not aware of any such restrictions for marrying Bangladeshi boy
There is no such restriction on marriage with bangladeshi citizen there is no such circular to my notice.
If you are citizen of India, then you can register your marriage under Special Marriage Act.
The documents required for registration is as under:
Application form / Notice duly filled and signed by the bride and the groom.
• Documentary evidence of date of birth of both parties (Matriculation Certificate/ Passport/ Birth Certificate).
• Documentary evidence regarding stay in Delhi of one of the parties for more than 30 days (ration card or report from the concerned SHO, Police Station).
• Separate affidavits from bride and groom giving: Date of birth, Present marital status: unmarried/widower/ divorcee, Affirmation that the parties are not related to each other within the degree of prohibited relationship defined in the Special Marriage Act, Citizenship, and Parties intent to marry with each others
• Passport size photographs of both parties (3 copies each) duly attested by a Gazetted Officer.
• Copy of divorce decree/order in case of a divorcee and death certificate of spouse in case of widow/widower.
• In case of a foreign national, a no objection certificate from the concerned Embassy regarding his / her present status.
• Some countries insist for proof of proceeding of civil marriage & marriageablity certificate of Indian fiancée before granting visa to a foreign national to visit / stay in India for marriage.
• Foreign national who intent to stay in India for long time after marriage should know before marriage about grant of citizenship of India and about profession / tax liability
1. Since citizenship is different I would advise you to get the marriage registered under Special Marriage Act.
2. There after you can perform marriage as per Hindu rites and customs at the place of your choice.
3. There is absolutely no restrictions on marrying a Bangladesh natioanal.

Since your husband will be on a tourist visa, you have to convert his visa from a tourist visa to a short visit visa (valid for one year). For this you can visit the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO). For this one has to go to Delhi at the following address: The Director (Foreigner), Ministry of Home affairs, Visa Facilitation Centre, Jaisalmer House, 26, Mansingh Road, New Delhi - 110 011. Carry the original marriage certificate, and both your passports
. As a note you may be aware that a tourist visa is extendable by 45 days (Max) if an Indian citizen gives an undertaking in writing. The undertaking form is available with them.
At the FRRO you submit three copies of your marriage certificate, three copies of your passport with the latest proof of residence. All original documents should be carried with you for verification. They will issue a booklet called the residential permit with her extension to stay for one year stamped in it. In the meanwhile you can intend to apply for the PIO since any foreigner married to Indian citizen is eligible.
