BILL IN RAJYA SABHA ON REGISTERING NRI MARRIAGES WITHIN 30 DAYS


The Registration of Marriage of Non-Resident Indian Bill, 2019 was introduced by External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj in the Rajya Sabha. According to the bill Non-Resident Indians who marry an Indian citizen or a fellow NRI abroad have to compulsorily register their marriages within 30 days or face the prospects of their passports being impounded or even revoked. The Bill also allows courts to attach properties, movable and immovable, of "proclaimed offenders" or people who fail to appear before courts despite warrants being issued against them. The proposed law will be applicable to NRIs marrying Indian women within or even outside India.
