No, a stateless/refugee person of any country cannot apply for an OCI card or register for an OCI card on the spouse's basis. If a person has an OCI card and they get refugee status in another country, then under those conditions his/her OCI card will be ceased and they need to apply for a valid visa to travel to India.

Stateless/ refugee people don't have a valid citizenship of any country, and because they don't have any historical connection to India or any descendants, they are not qualified for the OCI registration. According to the government of India, only these are eligible to apply for an OCI.
