oh i see, i just answered in behalf of the Philippines' issue regarding the marriage or the poster's desire to marry a Filipina with every other details he mentioned.

and that's why i did ask if it's required in India because i have no idea.

maybe the poster knew already that such certificate is not required in India, but since he aint marrying an Indian girl, but a complicated marital status of a Filipina, that's why this query was raised.

i just hoped i was able to help the poster.

Thanks WK for that piece of info regarding marrying in India.
