Islamic marriage

In Morocco the legal marriage and the nikkah are done as one. What you are suggesting is not what is done in Morocco, generally speaking, because people want their children to be able to get passports, be registered, be able to claim inheritance, not get divorced and have children provided for, be able to send children school, get birth certificates for children, stop dodgy men having a bit of fun then vanishing and many more reasons. Also it's against Moroccan law so the local imam wouldn't agree and would also wonder why you don't want to do things according to the law their. Your marriage also won't be recognised abroad (visa/ passport)

Just do the hounerable thing and get married legally. I could not understand why a woman would except not doing it legally in Morocco unless she plans to just take the dowry……

Yes we no what the requirements in Islam are but now there is lots of situations where we need passports, birth certificates, proof of marriage. It might be a quick short cut now but it will give you lots of problems in the future. One example you couldn't even stay in a hotel in Morocco with out a marriage certificate

Thanks Goldkhalifa
Much appreicated

Just out of interest, do you have difinitive information on this matter?
It is difficult to understand why Islamic marriage can not be done in a Muslim country when it can be done in UK, US, Germany and many other non muslim countries.
I know marriage through the court system but I am not really interested to go through that hazzle as we will be moving to Kenya. Also I do not need a marriage certificate for my wife to immigrate to Kenya.

As I said Islamic marriage and legal marriage are one in Morocco. It's a Muslim country and their law requires you to have the marriage registered. Is the woman you want to marry Moroccan? What does her dad think about having a ‘Fatia marriage' as it's known as in Morocco ? What about any children from the marriage? It will cause big problems for them getting inheritance, nationality and a Moroccan passport.

Maybe the hazzle of being married will be too much for you too? It's only a case of providing a few papers and a few interviews. Are you already married or got a criminal record that's stopping you abiding by their law?

Hi,

I just wanted to ask was you able to marry in Morocco without all the legal process

In morocco living with the opposite gender under the same roof requires being legally married. In the case where ur living together without a proper civic marriage u r kids will not be recognised by law n u might face charges of prostitution.

I have a bit of an issue and will have to do my nikkah before my registry which is booked for a week after so I wanted to know if I can have a islamic marriage beforehand

Hi in morocco the legal process is the Nikkah. It's not like the western world where you can go to masjid get imam to do the Nikkah and then register it after.

In Morocco the entire process has to be done which is classed as the Nikkah and registers together.

Do i book the appointment with the british embassy in Rabat?

Also do i have to do this before applying for fiancé visa or can i do it later?

hi Mohammed. There is a process to get married in any country legally. Especially for foreigners.

The process requires a list of documents both locally and form your place of residency.

if you were to apply for a fiancé visa to take her to the U.K. to get married as she is not U.K. resident she would still have a complex process to follow even in the U.K. and a simple Islamic marriage is not legally recognised in The U.K. and Morocco.

you would still have to go though the process at some stage to be legally married otherwise the U.K. would deem it as a civil partnership only and in Morocco you would not be deemed as married.

i have sent you a private message also.

regards

What if we already got legally married elsewhere like the US. But want to have our islamic marriage done in Morroco with his family? Can we do this? Will an Iman do our nikkah for us if we already have done the legal marriage elsewhere?

@Kayklepper638 do not do it. If there a breakdown in the relationship you will be in his mercy to divorce you or not plus getting a divorce in Morocco is a nightmare. if the USA marriage is not enough for him than you probably not enough for him. small ceremony or a party for the family is what most people do but not a legal marriage in morocco.

Good luck

I'm not seeking a legal marriage in Morroco nor do i need it in morocco.... I'm legally civally married to him already in America so noooo im fully covered in case of a divorce and any divorce would have to be done in america even if we did considering our cival legal marriage was done in America...

I'm simply asking if an Iman would do our islamic nikkah contract/ceremony while visiting family in Morroco...this being my request and desire as a Muslim woman myself. Has nothing to do with what he wants lol. Try answering my inquiry and not assuming my situation please I never once mentioned or asked about legal marriage in Morroco. I don't need it...I'm legally married to him Already thru America. We just want to have our Nikkah in Morroco while with his family. That's all I'm inquiring about

I'm legally civally married to him already in

I can't speak for the country in question, more for Muslims in general.

I don't think I could find an imam that would refuse your request to perfect your marriage in the eyes of the Almighty.
