I wanted to find out if I can do a court marriage if I am abroad, is it possible to sign a power of attorney under my fiancée's name and can it be used during court marriage, also if it can be used for inter religion court marriage, Boy is Hindu and girl is Christian. Please advise.

A.Your marriage has to be conducted under the Special Marriage Act,1954, as amended up to date. Power of Attorney cannot subserve your purpose. If the Marriage Registrar will permit you to sign the 30 days Notice of marriage from abroad and then to send it to India by post/ through Courier and thereafter the Bride can sign that Notice in front of the Marriage Registrar along with photographs and self attested identity proofs of both parties. After 30 days from the date of giving such Notice and within 90 days of the date of such notice,such marriage has to be solemnized before the Marriage Registrar when both the bride and the Groom have to be present to sign all the necessary formalities for completion of that marriage.

A.Dear client,
The parties need to be present physically for a marriage registration and power of attorney will not be entertained in such cases irrespective of which religion the boy and the girl belong to.
Thank you. Have a nice day.

A.Haven't heard of this concept where the registered marriage can be done through power of attorney. For a registered marriage both the bride and the groom have to be present in front of the marriage registrar and sign some documents, hence it is not possible to get married without both of you being present.
