My question is :—– Is the marriage, which is registered under Indian Law, acceptable in UK / USA or we have to register under UK /USA Laws? What is the procedure for that, any website address?
I would like to know about the laws prevelant in USA/ UK about marriage. I live in India do I have to registered under Indian Law will it be acceptable in USA/ UK .Or we have to register under USA/ UK Laws for marriage to be authorized.

I think if you are married to a citizen in that country no you dont have to do anything but if you are moving in from a diffrent sountry you might have to register or something. BUt i doubt it.

While I am no expert, I believe that most countries recongnize basic, adult, monogomous marriages, no matter where the country of origin is. You would only have difficulty if:
1. You or your spouse claimed multiple wives / husbands.
2. You or your spouse was under the age of consent (usually 18, but varies with country.)
Check with your local embassy or consulate for more specific and official information.

I can only speak for our United States of America. Also, England has not had a monarchy since 1824, the Windsor family are all “pretenders to the throne”, to use a genuine legal monarchy term!
The initial laws of an immigrant’s home country for marriage are almost always accepted and honored here in our USA. There are exceptions, such as where a marriage of convenience for prostitution or domestic slavery is discovered, that can be annuled and criminal prosecution ensued.
Now, about the idea of your marrying and bringing your bride to any other country…. will your bride know that? Many times, a marriage in different cultures and circumstances will end the marriage relationship. Marriages need stability and dependability in the first few years. Marrying someone and then moving to a strange country is not the same as a bride or groom who travels to a new country to meet a prospective mate. I do not know if you are aware of that.
In most cases in the military that I have witnessed, a civilian who married and then went into the service to become a soldier OR who married while they were in the service and left the service to become a civilian usually ended in divorce!!! I am not kidding! The change is so drastic. I would think that a bride who is not familiar with another country would not find the new country to be hospitable and comfortable. I might be wrong! You are choosing two countries which speak “English” language, however, the customs, the lifestyles, the social ways are different between our three countries and require becoming adapted to.
If you choose to do this, then good luck. I hope it all works out for you.
