That the depends highly on the nationality of that people and how much time they spent together before the marriage.

If two people from the Philippines are getting married, yes, that marriage is valid in Switzerland.

If a Swiss lady gets married with a Philippinen man in the Philippines, he may not get permission to relocate to Switzerland.
