Dear Client,
Your query lacks sufficient information and transparency, making it difficult to address it suitably. However, an interfaith marriage or inter-religion marriage is allowed in India under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, if the following conditions are met. 1) The Bangladeshi citizen must have a valid legal status in India (such as a long-term visa). 2) He is not married, or his divorce is finalized and legally recognized in Bangladesh. 3) A 30-day public notice is required at the marriage registrar's office in the district where at least one of the parties has resided for at least 30 days. 4) If no objections are raised during the notice period, the marriage can be solemnized and registered by the Marriage Officer appointed under the SMA. Post-marriage, your friend has to apply for a Resident Visa, like a Green Card, for him. It will give him 6 6-year residential visa. Hence, it is suggested to consult with a legal expert or the concerned marriage officer for the latest documentation and procedural requirements to navigate the matter effectively.
