The main question is "can your fiance get a visa and join you for a marriage in the UK"

If he already got visa for any European country, that should be easy. If he did not, then you have to evaluate very cautiously her real chances to get one, as any refusal might make the process more complex after that.

The advantages of a marriage in the UK is mainly to have a secular marriage. As a woman (I'm assuming you are) you need to be Jewish or Christian to marry a Moroccan, or convert to Islam, because you cannot make a non-religious marriage. The disadvantage is that such a non religious marriage will not be legally recognized in Morocco. If you plan to have children, you'll have to make a Muslim marriage one day or another.


If you are a man, you have to convert to Islam to marry a Moroccan.


Converting to Islam would have impacts on your properties and inheritance in Morocco.

At the end, if you can do it, I would recommend to marry in the country you intend to live afterwards.

Yes you need your birth certificate certified if it isn't already. If you aren't born in the UK then you need a birth certificate fron the place you were born and need to get it certified.


You need to certify documents of your embassy and your passport and affadavit/capacity to marry)

@mishiii



Some people say the basic one okay while others don't. So its a tricky one I went with the ACRO one when I got married, to be on the safe side

Ip683316

@Fati93,  hi.

Just read your msg, why not in Casa, my Moroccan partner adamant it will be in Vasa.

Any reason a UK citizen cannot marry in Casa, specifics would be grateful. Thanks.

Hi,


I will be travelling to Tangier on the 2nd March - 9th March to hopefully get married.


I have the following documents:

British passport

British birth certificate

DBS security check

Contact of employment

Payslips


What else do I need to bring along to Morocco?


It’s mentioned in the link below:


“…….You will need to:

apply for and swear an affirmation of marital status (£50)

and get a certified copy of your passport - this costs (£25)…..â€


Do these need to be paid online before arriving in Morocco? Or could this all be done from scratch at the consulate?


I hope to hear from you soon.

@jd221279


Could I please have the details of your lawyer and also the translator as I am in the same situation and about to get married next month and for the DBS I am surprised you have been lucky enough as I have read on many forums that they only accept ACRO and if I may ask could you please tell me who checks the DBS the court or the adoul or the police in Morocco as that might give me a bit of an insight in to the matter.


Your help would be much appreciated.

didi1998

@khanc85


Salaam Khan, hope you’ve been in good health and doing great. I just wanted to ask you how your things went and did you find the process as straightforward as it may seem like or you had a bit of a hiccup. Could you please private message me and exactly what document you needed and how many days did it take you to get all the process done.

Thanks

Yasmin21

@muzzichuzzi it would be great to share on here as well as private message for other readers who are going through the same process :)

Hi guys the marriage process in morocco aint as difficult. I just completed the marriage approval process through the marriage court. This was done in casablanca. In my experience, I found that the process is prolonged by the British embassy with the appointment. Otherwise the process is easy though I used a lawyer who's well connected.


All documents must be within 3 months except the obvious ones Birth certificate.

@Kasmicm


how long did it take for the courts to accept documents and give go ahead for marriage?
