There are no laws in India that prohibits an Indian from marrying a foreigner in India. Undoubtedly, both must be legally of a sound mind and competent enough to marry. The Special Marriage Act, 1954 is applicable where an Indian and a foreigner intend to marry in India. But on the other hand, when an Indian intends to marry in any other country, the Foreign Marriage Act, 1969 is applicable. Therefore, it can be inferred that a marriage between an Indian and a foreigner is a civil marriage.
