Marriage is linked with sentiments. But solemnizing
matrimony overseas or offshore may become bane
of one’s life. Laws and guidelines
crafted for the marriage can prove that doing it is not the bed of roses. The constitution of most
of the countries, especially westerns and Asian, asks the bride and groom to
show ‘single status certificate’ before marriage. This is all to justify the
eligibility of the person as single and hence, can tie a knot.
