Getting married in Iraq

Post new topic

Armand

Hi all,

We invite all the ones who got married in Iraq or who are about to get married in Iraq to participate in this thread :)

What are the formalities to get married in Iraq? Is it the same for a couple of foreigners of for a mixed couple (between a foreigner and a native of Iraq)?

Are the procedures complicated?

How long does it take to carry out all the formalities?

Thank you in advance for participating,

Armand

Really? What you can share for us? Hmmm like what document we should provide, procedures and how much it cost? I am about to get married and now consider to get married there or in my country.

Hi.. I m still in Jakarta - Indonesia now. My fiancee in Erbil but working in Baghdad :)

Jake Granger

you can get married

Well I think every where is the same, if you follow the culture and tradition so it might ask you many things to propose the woman. and that is what make the wedding become costly. to make it simple and less cost of course both hv to discuss expense by considering with life nowadays. Doesnt mean we didnt respect the culture or so, especially when we have to afford all those cost by ourself and not with parent money.
But I think we are trying to share about the procedure, as in Indonesia it is a bit complicated. We cant get legally married before doing religion marriage. And mostly religion not allowed couple with different religion to get married. While myself, I m a bit open minded by thinking that same religion not guarantee the marriage will be smooth and lasting and different religion in marriage is not big deal as long the couple has highly understanding and respect each other.
Would you share how to get legally married there? And how is the practical of poligamy there as I know Moeslem are allowed to hv 4 wives.

Hi Guys,

To every one who ask about the (non-Iraqi marriage) :

You can mary in Iraq simply, Go to your country consulate/mission in Iraq and ask them about the instructions.

The method is defferent from country to another.

Good luck,
Ahmed
