Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
I would suggest that when you marry somebody, you should be prepared to accept the person. If you are not willing to marry the girl then you should talk to your parents frankly rather than just going through the marriage, half-heartedly.
Skin color is genetically determined and Indians in general are of dark skin color. Dark skin is prone to tan.
It is advisable to use a Broad Spectrum sunscreen with both UV A and UV B through out the day OR whenever stepping out in the sun.
In addition to the sunscreen usage of umbrellas, scarfs etc as a general sun protective behavior helps
A skin lightening cream at night containing one or more of the following ingredients like kojic acid, glycolic acid, arbutin, tetrahydrocurcumin, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate OR liquorice extract etc would help in decreasing the gradually
take care
regards
