Help!! Getting Married in Morocco

[Lynie]

My fiance (he's morocccan) and I are getting married in morocco this June. I have all the necessary papers required to get married there. However, my fiance mentioned to me about a police officer who told him that I have to have a letter stating that my parents are allowing me to get married. Supposedly, if I don't have this paper, then we would not be able to get married. This is very odd for me. I have not come across a forum where it states a police officer needs a letter that states a canadian female (21 years of age) needs permission to get married. I think its very odd. In fact, I'm thinking perhaps the police man is thinking of: a request for marriage written in language Arab and intended for the Judge of the family court or Certificate of capacity of marriage, delivered by the Embassy of Canada in Rabat. All these papers have to be processed in Morocco.

If anyone can clarify this that would be great. I honestly don't think it's necessary for my parents to write a letter, and getting this letter would be quite difficult. They are in Philippines right now and sending a letter by post might take too long. And I don't have that much time left to wait. =S

hello lynie i can help you. been married to moroccans twice already so i am the best person for these questions.

ur fiance maybe right because different requirements for different cities in morocco. so can you please verify which city he lives in and where u wana get married? its a simply english written document in FRENCH you stating that you want to get married and you understand the responsibility for ur future husband. then it needs to be notarized by canadian lawyer. which city in canada u live? u can fine many cheap good lawyers to do that for you. i can help u that also

since ur 21 you may be seen as a minor to some authorities in morocco. but not all. they just wana make sure u know what ur getting urself into.

do not forget to take letter from ur employer and the salary u make. if u dont have this document ur almost guaranteed NOT to get married in morocco. also take ur birthcertificate and passport and drivers license. it helped me with my driver license.

why dont u send me PM messages and if u have any more questions feel free to ask. by the way my very close firned is marry to philiphino gilr.

Lynie. one more thing. DO as your fiance instructs you otherwise the law and athoirities can give u very difficult times.

every city and state has different judicial system and requirements for the mixed marriages. take this seriously and get ur parents to write a letter in english and have them sign it that we give our daugther Lynie permission to marry to a citizen of morocco. make sure they put ur date of birth and ur name and all their names too and their dateof births. then ask them to DHL or UPS it to u here in canada using EXPRESS delivery.

i had similar issue in morocco where they wanted something similar but not exactly the same from me.
