With over 15 years of experience, SCORPION LEGAL SERVICES is highly regarded for its family law practice, especially for foreign and NRI clients. Our team handles cross-border divorce, guardianship, custody, and marriage solemnization between foreign and Indian nationals.

How We May Assist You

Registration of Marriage

In today’s globalized world, it’s common to meet people from diverse backgrounds and countries. We assist clients in the solemnization and registration of marriages between individuals of different nationalities in India. The Special Marriage Act, 1954, allows marriages between individuals from various countries and cultures, regardless of religion or faith. Our team ensures a hassle-free registration process, obtaining marriage certificates, and fulfilling requirements like obtaining an NOC from the concerned embassy.

Cross-Border Divorce

Couples often marry in India and move overseas, or marry abroad and seek divorce in India. This can create confusion about which law prevails and whether decrees from one jurisdiction apply in another. Our team is well-versed in avoiding procedural ambiguities and has assisted clients in getting foreign divorces recognized by Indian courts, leading to the cancellation of marriage certificates.

Adoption

Inter-country adoptions, whether of orphans, abandoned, surrendered children, or relatives’ children, must comply with the Juvenile Justice Act, 2015, and Adoption Regulation Act, 2017, which adhere to the Hague Convention on adoption. Our lawyers are well-acquainted with these procedures and have successfully assisted clients in legal adoptions.
