can i get legal marriage certificate?

Good question — and quite an important one. Let’s break it down properly, because when one spouse is a foreign national (U.S. citizen) and the other is a refugee with a UNHCR card, the legal path to marriage certification depends heavily on where you plan to get married and which laws will govern the marriage. Let’s assume you’re referring to India (since most of your prior cases and work are India-based). I’ll explain the Indian legal position — then briefly mention what applies if the marriage is to be registered abroad. Yes — It can be legally registered in India. But it must be done under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, which allows inter-faith, inter-national, and mixed-status marriages — provided certain documents and procedures are followed.
