You won't get citizenship just by marrying a french citizen.
You will prob get residency.

Yes I know that. I plan to have a dual citizenship anyway but I just need to know the correct procedure to about things starting from step 1. I know, I know stupid question but I do have to make a start if we are to marry in the coming year.

You can't get a passport until you reside in that country for 7 years I think it is.

Oh thank you! What I read was that after a year of marriage I can apply for citizenship (dunno if that is first class or not). I have some business plans (and college plans)in Paris so I will have to obtain a license with my partners who are French. I just wanted to make sure about the formalities in both countries.

The Foreign Indian Marriage Act Act XLIII of 1954 will come into force here as I will not have obtained a French citizenship so my fianc? Will have to have a registered marriage in the Indian court because he can't stay in India for 180 days as required by law here. Also we will have to register in France which is a procedure unknown to me. A person can acquire French citizenship by naturalisation after 5 years of stay. This will also help me to secure the future of my children who will automatically obtain the citizenship but I would like them to hold a dual citizenship too.
