John Abraham and fiance Priya Runchal have no immediate marriage plans since Priya is pursuing higher studies in London. Since it is a two year course, John Abraham and Priya Runchal’s wedding will probably take place in 2014. When the wedding is finalized, there is a strong possibility that it will take place in Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh.
In India, Priya Runchal’s family is from the beautiful region of Kangra in Himachal Pradesh, of which Dharamshala is the headquarters. Ironically, John Abraham’s father’s family is settled in McLeodganj in Kangra district. The Abrahams have an ancestral home in McLeodganj. McLeodganj is where the Dalai Lama resides.
According to an Indian national daily, Priya Runchal’s father, Akshay Runchal, has made enquiries in Dharamshala regarding marriage registration. John Abraham too had visited Dharamshala and McLeodganj after the death of Priya’s grandfather who passed away at the age of 101 on April 2, 2012 in Dharamshala. While in Dharamshala, John too made enquiries regarding registration of marriage.Considering that John and Priya belong to different faiths, their marriage will need to be registered under the “Indian Special Marriage Act, 1954”. As per this act, Priya and John will have to give a 30 day notice period to the marriage registrar who will then put up a notice inviting any objections to this marriage. If there are no objections at the end of the 30 day period, John Abraham and Priya Runchal can register their marriage and start their married life as husband and wife.
As per reports John and Priya do not plan to have a religious marriage ceremony, only a civil registration of their marriage.
