    Either your registrar is ill informed or did not understand your query correctly. You can register this marriage under special marriages act since Hindu marriage act applies only to marriages solemnized between people of Hindu origin (in strictly legal sense) like Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, Sikhs etc.

    To register this under Hindu Marriage act, you will have to convert her to Hinduism. I am not sure how it is done but there must be a way.
