Hello, 

I'm sorry if this is not the best place to post this question. I skimmed through the forum, but couldn't find an appropriate discussion board to ask my question on this topic. 

I am married to a US citizen (3 years now) and he has no ties to my country of origin. Hence, I haven't registered our marriage in my country. 

Do I have to? What are the advantages/disadvantages of not registering my marriage in my country? Is there anything I can do now to register it?

Thanks much

Wedding took place in the US. It is registered in the county that it took place in.

Should be good to go; no requirement to register it elsewhere. There'd be no basis to register in India.

I didn't register my marriage in my country, I don't see a benefit for it. If your spouse is US citizen and your country has no problem with using the US passport to enter, you don't need the extra hassle of registering.
