Hi

My nephew got married to his wife in India according to the Sikh rites and the marriage was registered in the temple of which a certificate was issued. he did not get married in the courts as he was told that the Sikh marriage is recognised by law in India  my nephews wife has lodged her application at the home office in India and was told by the visa centre that her marriage certificate will not be recognised, is this correct? and if so what does my nephew have to do, he is back in the UK at the moment.

many thanks

He should speak to someone who knows about Indian matramonial law.

He needs to get the marriage registered under section 15 of the special marriage act in the office of deputy commissioner of the district. The process usually takes around 2 months.

Traveling form UK to India isn't cheap, becouse my self I planing to have holidays, but seeking legal advice it's much much cheap it looks that your  nephew will get refused.
