I’m a 25-year-old Bengali Hindu man working in construction, and I’m planning to marry a 24-year-old woman from the Tripuri tribe in Bangladesh. We’re facing some family concerns on both sides, particularly hers. I’m unsure about the legal process for inter-country marriages. Could you guide me on the rules, the required procedures, and where the marriage should be held?

In India, you’ll need to register your marriage under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. You must both declare your intention to marry before a Marriage Registrar, and fulfill certain conditions, including age, residency, and freedom from prior marriage. The marriage can be solemnized in India, after completing the required formalities. You should consult a lawyer to understand the specific requirements and procedures applicable to your situation.
