In India you being an Indian marry her in court. Court marriage as you call it is solemnized under the Special Marriage Act, 1954 all such marriages can take place between any two Indian citizens as well one Indian citizen with a foreigner irrespective of their religion, caste or creed, and you can say this is the secular form of marriage available in our country. Such a marriage is solemnized before the marriage officer/registrar usually D.C. deputy commissioner of the area (Sub registrar/SDM is the marriage officer/registrar only in case the already solemnized marriage under any other Act has to be registered) where both or any of the parties to such a marriage reside permanently or for at least one month. Cost of such a marriage is merely Rs90/- or as the rate prevalent in your area. Now how you proceed? Both the parties to the marriage file a joint application before the marriage officer along with individual affidavit attested by notary public specifying the age(boy 21yrs &girl 18yrs), place of residence, marital status(unmarried or divorcee as the case maybe), mental status(not idiot or not with unfit mind), not related to each other. Along with this you have to give proof of age( School certificate, Passport,) , proof of residence(Passport, ration card, voters id card, PAN card, rent agreement) , & the application of such a marriage should be witnessed by 3 independent adult persons, affix one photograph of each of the parties & all the 3 witnesses. You have made such an application/notice to the marriage officer in person along with all the 3 witnesses. On receiving such an application the marriage officer issues a month notice regarding the intended marriage & get such a notice affixed on the notice board out side his office, a copy of such notice is sent to the marriage officer under whose jurisdiction the other party lives, also a copy is to the individual parties address. After expiry of the period of notice a date is fixed on which all the persons parties to the marriage & 3 witnesses appear again before the marriage officer who declare them married & issue a certificate to this regard. Incase of any objections raised the marriage officer will settle these objections. Now what can be objections that can be raised? These can ONLY BE REGARDING THE CONDITIONS NECESSARY FOR SUCH MARIAGE & NOTHING ELSE. What are the conditions? As I stated above i.e. Age, martial status, mental status, prohibited relationship (related to each other by blood). This is the brief procedure I have told you here, incase you want any clarification you can ask.

I'm a singaporean girl married to an indian. I'll tell you how we went about doing it. First we got legally married in singapore in a court cos in Singapore only it is illegal to have the customary wedding before getting married in the court. Then i went to india on a tourist visa and had a grand indian wedding. Then with a couple of photoghraps from our wedding and with a wedding card, along with a witness we then went to register our marriage in india, in a court.
So basically for the wedding, No legal documents were required but i wanted to settle in india. So after getting the marriage cert, i applied for residence here which i required my birth cert, education certs, my passport and marriage cert along with my husbands documents.
Trust me its not that difficult, and last but not least congratulations on getting married! Wish you all the best for your future.

You both know that this relationship will not get anywhere. You would not even try take that first step because you are afraid of your parents and you are ashamed of her for having a child. You can say you love her all you like but your actions has said it all. She wants to move on now from this fake love, let her. If you want to still be with her then man up and go be with her. A few words of I love you will not last a life time.
