While going through few yahoo questions I have come across , American Christian got married with a Hindu Indian according to Hindu form of marriage without converting to Hindu religion. Such marriage itself was illegal as according to the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 only two Hindus can marry according to Hindu form of marriage. Such marriage even got registered by the Marriage registrar which itself is wrong & illegal but as it happens by bribing such a marriage registrar the marriage certificate are being precured,which is being used by the parties for immigration to USA on the basis of marriage with an American person. The immigration department of USA send such a marriage certificate for verification through their Embassy in India who further have panel of lawyers appointed by the US government, simply confirm the marriage certificate as valid without going into the legality of the marriage itself, on this confirmation given by the Indian lawyers the US Govt. allows the immigration.

Does the US immigration department not aware of this illegality & is it not long time they get some honest lawyers on the Embassy penal who will not only confirm the validity of the marriage certificates but even the marriage itself on the basis of which such certificate is being issued ? Is the US immigration department sleeping after engaging few so called famous Indian lawyers who are only making money from them without going into the legality of who issue in totality. As an Indian Lawyer it is my legal duty to bring to the notice of the US government how they are being cheating by few of my professional guys out here. What action the US government proposes this this regard?

Any marriage which itself is not lawful cannot be considered lawful only because an American citizen is involved in this, you cannot excuse an American guy for any crime he/she commits any where in the world only because he/she is supposed to be an American. Apply you mind to this issue as it is very serious one involving the cheating the US government by someone by few Indian people which requires to be investigated & punished not excused just because an American citizen is involved in it even though as a victim of such cheating, rather American government should openly come out in protecting the legal rights of its citizen who is victim of this illegality.
