Marriage in Malta

Hi, I'm not sure but I thought the period was that long so the 'notice' is up for anyone to argue if they can not be legally married? I think it's a court thing?

Is it possible to shorten the waiting period so they can marry asap?

Surely the best thing to do is speak with those responsible in the department responsible for arranging it?

Hi, yes, in theory I would say that is the best way to find out, however after this morning when I was sent around Valletta to 5 different offices and no one was really able to answer my questions ( not related to this marriage) I would prefer an insight of someone who has tried this before.

Anyway we will try the official route on Monday, but the time is really pressing.

Thank you

Maybe something is getting lost in interpretation here but if you went to 5 offices but your questions were not related to this marriage, where is the connection? the relevance?
I would have thought that on the paperwork there would be the contact details of whomever is responsible, no?
I'm interested because our daughter mentioned that if she were to be married, she would like to do so out here but when I asked on here there was a distinct lack of experience of this.

PS. It seems that GinG has provided the answer that the Law stipulates 6 weeks.

There is no relevance, I am just feeling a bit fed up with the Maltese file pushers today. Sorry for ranting

I have checked the visitmalta site and it says that there is no special licence in Malta ( I assume it means there are not exceptions from the 6 weeks rule)

Thank you

It gets to us all now and again.
