NRIs get seven days to register marriage

New Delhi: All NRI marriages solemnised  in India would need to be registered within seven days,  the Union ministry of women and child development stated on Thursday. If the NRI marriages are not registered within seven days, the passports and visas would not be issued.

Women and child development minister Maneka Gandhi had last week said that the NRI marriages would need to be registered within 48 hours.  The decision for mandatory registration within seven days was taken on Wednesday after a meeting of group of ministers.
