Does anyone know a lawyer in India who will start the court marriage proceedings before I arrive in India so that I can marry when I arrive? I am in contact with a lawyer but he insists that he can't start the proceedings until I get there but I have read ( http://mri.med.yale.edu/individual/michiro/visa.html ) that others have started the process before they arrive. The civil marriage paperwork takes between 30 and 45 days but I am only able to stay away from work for three weeks ( I am a teacher). My fiance is in Dharamsala and I am flying into Delhi but we can travel anywhere in to get married. Please help!!!!

If you both are Buddhist, then can you not get married under the Hindu Marriage Act? What's the need for a civil marriage (I assume that is the Special Marriage Act).

You might want to ask that attorney...

I can't find a friggin' temple to marry us!!! My fiance keeps telling me Tibetans don't marry in a temple. They marry in a hotels!? The basic problem is that marriage is a secular concern not a spiritual one as far as Buddhism is concerned so the monasteries in Dharamsala don'thave anything to do with it. There must be an Indian Buddhist temple that performs marriages.

NEW QUESTION:

Does anyone know an Indian Buddhist temple in northern India, preferably around Delhi, that performs marriages?

http://www.pilgrimage-india.com/buddhist-temples.html

I don't know which ones do marriages, but maybe your finace can find out (it's a local phone call)?

Hope that helps...
