To begin, you must first obtain a certificate of legal capacity to marry. Regardless of your nationality, you will need this document. To obtain it, you must submit the following documents to the Moroccan consulate:

• A written statement confirming your identity and the nature of your request to a family court judge you have a criminal history
  Bills, for example, can be used as a copy of your birth certificate in its entirety
• as proof of residency.
• Proof of nationality
• Passport photocopies
• Four passport-size pictures are required.
• *It’s possible that verification of address or residency will be required.
• a signed certificate of good health from a doctor (costs around AED 100)

Three copies of these documents must be signed and stamped at the local prefecture, which varies depending on your country of origin, and they must be translated. You and your spouse, regardless of country, will need to provide:

• Birth certificate, residence certificate
  A certificate stating that you are not yet married or a divorce decree stating that your divorce is final.
• A copy of your national ID card and a passport-size photo are required.
• Examination by a physician (marriage certificate)

You will be given a questionnaire to fill out as well as a marriage booklet when you apply for a marriage certificate. Your embassy or consulate can receive these documents.

If you marry a Moroccan national, your consulate or embassy will issue prohibitions declaring that your marriage is not prohibited.

For a period of ten days, the bans will be publicized in your nation of residency at the town hall closest to your home. The processes, however, may take longer. After two months, you may acquire a certificate of legal capacity to marry.

It’s useful to know:

If you are marrying a Moroccan national, you can conduct an interview with your future spouse to determine the genuine nature of your wedding.

Morocco is a popular destination for weddings.

You will obtain an affidavit of citizenship and a certificate of legal competence to marry (notary fee of roughly $50) after delivering these documents to the Moroccan consulate. After you’ve received it, you’ll need to get authorization from the local authorities. To do so, you must first submit the documents to the Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs for notarization, which costs 80 dirhams. An interview at the local police station to review the documents and inquire about the marriage may be required in some situations. Your case will be sent to the court once it has been processed. Consult with the adult, or priest, who will officiate your wedding first. You will return to the family court to see the prosecutor once your case is ready. You will acquire clearance for your wedding from the family court (or the embassy in the case of non-Moroccans) if these processes are completed. The final step is to go to the Adul’s (marriage officer) office and request that they officiate your wedding. They draft a typical marriage contract, which must be signed in the presence of two adult witnesses at the wedding ceremony. You may finally start arranging the celebration at this point!

It’s useful to know:

For a charge, you can consult with a local imam who will handle the entire process.

Honeymoon in Morocco customs

You should keep in mind that before a man of non-Moroccan heritage can marry a Moroccan girl (in Morocco), he must first convert to Islam (which is not a difficult undertaking). If circumcision is not required, the process is usually handled by the local imam.) A non-Moroccan woman, on the other hand, can marry a Moroccan without converting to Islam.

Marriage in Morocco is mainly founded on custom, regardless of its legality. If you want to marry a Moroccan lady, you must first inform her parents that you will be visiting them (together with her parents and some gifts for the bride’s family, hence the symbolic sugar block) and formally ask for her hand in marriage. The parents will next discuss the dowry, the date, and may inquire about your family, your career, and so on. If all goes well, your parents will give their blessing to your marriage.

Despite the fact that dowry is a contentious matter these days, it is a Moroccan tradition for the groom’s family to present the bride’s family with a symbolic gift for marriage, as the bride’s family normally hosts the ceremony.

In Morocco, divorce is common.

The Moroccan Family Court is also in charge of divorce proceedings. Usually, the husband is in charge of this. The applicant must first apply for a permit with your judicial district’s prefecture. You will be given an application form to fill out, which will ask you for details about your marriage, spouses’ identities, children, and financial condition. Following that, it must be notarized and presented by two notaries.

Your case will be reviewed by the family court, and both spouses will be contacted to try to reach an agreement (two if they have children). If the applicant fails to appear in court, the application is automatically considered withdrawn. If the reconciliation attempt fails, the court-ordered money must be paid to the spouse within 30 days. The court then enables the applicant to submit a divorce petition with two notaries in the marital district’s judicial district if the fee is paid.

The court issues a ruling after receiving the divorce certificate, upholding the legal rights of the husband and children, including alimony, child support, and custody, as well as the wife’s legal waiting time before entering into a second marriage.
