In KSA, marriages among expatriates have specific procedures to follow. However, the bride, in this case, shall need to be legally present in the country to get married. The legal presence in the country can be proved with a valid Iqama (Resident Permit).

However, there can be some exceptions or alternatives. As per articles 40 and 45 of Saudi Arabia's Civil Status Law:

Article 40: "The marriage contract must be documented and registered with the relevant civil affairs authority."

Article 45: "For a marriage contract involving two non-Saudis to be legally binding, it must be confirmed that neither of them is married to a Saudi citizen at the time of contract."

Thus, the bride will need to be legally present in KSA to register the marriage. If she doesn't have an Iqama, she may require another form of legal identification.

The couple must also obtain a "capacity to marry" certificate from their respective embassies to confirm that they are single and capable of marriage. This certificate is obtained from their home countries' respective embassies in KSA.

For the above scenario, it is advisable to contact both embassies (Pakistani and Indian) in KSA to get a clear understanding of the exact process and documents required for their marriage. The Civil Affairs Department (Nadra) will also be a useful point of contact for this process.

Please note that this is general advice and may not cover all the nuances of Saudi Arabia's complex legal system. Always refer to the most relevant legal consultation for your specific circumstance.
