hello nodandsmile 4bb
I need to advice me please about affidavit and certificate of nationality when I will get it from embassy of rabat I want to know which language will be french or english and if they give me these certificate with french language so is it acceptable for morocco court or I have to translate it to arabic
thanks so much
you welcome next week I will begin steps of marriage in morocco so I will try to write about my experience maybe that can help others person
I believe that if you are visiting the British embassy the certificate would be issued in English and in turn you would need to individually get them translated into Arabic
thanks so much next tuesday WE have appointment at consulate rabat so we will see what will happned ....too much work
Yes I seems to be very complex. I will e doing all of this in the beginning of April. I wish you the best of luck in the process.
I have questions
Is it possible to have second or third marriage in Morocco?
What are the requirements?
@teddiegear I am aware that a moroccan man must get his first wife's permission for to take a second wife. So I am presuming if your not Moroccan but want to live there and have a second wife, you would need to abide by their law and family code (moudwana) if your first wife disagrees then you are not permitted to have a second wife. If I may ask ..are you not satisfied with 1 wife ?
Hey jess,
I am wondering about the relgious aspect of your marriage?
My partner and i are looking to get married but i am not religious at all, and am unsure if i can marry him because of this. I cannot find much information any where online for this. What kind of religious certifcate was required? How do you obtain one?
My partner is from Tinghir area too!
Thank you it you can help
Hello.. you can have your partner handwrite this in Arabic and stating that you are Christian and do not wish to change your religion. I was married 1 month ago and I am not religious or christened. However. Nobody asked me for anything. They asked me to my face about my religion and I just said Christian. This only applies if you are female. If you are male you must convert to Muslim which I can't help you with
I hope this helps. If you have any questions feel free to message me
Hello Jess,
First of all i want to thank you to have take ur time to share all the informations. Your post really helped me.
We are getting married very soon, june, we just waiting to register his divorce in the court of manchester. But wanted to ask you about this certificate of residency. i don't know where to get it. My man is living in manchester but says he can prove the residence by bills but i dont know if in morocco they will accept it.
My other question, u said we have to book an appointment to get married in the UK ambassy, u think it's better to get married there than to ask for a family visa ?
Thank you in advance for ur answer
u don't need ur wife's persmission anymore since last year. u can get married 4 times if u want or if u can

Thank you so much for this information i want to ask about australian moroccan marriage is the same us i know there is no australien ambasad in morocco , i'm moroccan girl from rabat my spouse is australien and i'm really confused i don't know what i must do and how much time take plz if you have any infrmation about australian moroccan tell me , thank you
I hope it works out for you all.
I did all those procedures and same my husband knew the head of police lol coincidence 🙄. I took my time doing Rabat in September then the rest in December. We had been together nearly 18 months and was my choice not to rush. I was just about to apply for his visa to uk then I stopped as it didn’t feel real. 3 years by this time I’d really got to know them and as much as he was lovely to me and caring etc I believe it was just to leave Morocco. It’s like a lottery win to the people who are struggling. I just didn’t feel right so I have stopped all contact with him and told them I want divorce. Not sure how to go about that one. Some advice to you all. Do not rush. Do not rush something you want to last forever. 26 visits for me over 3 years. Wow what a difference in how I see the family now. Check the dynamics and take it slow. Don’t buy the undying love part lol just do as you would do at home. Good luck
Hi Candy
Unfortunate what has happened and sad you have a synical view of Morocco.
There are always bad apples and sad stories allover the world.
I from experience of living in UK all of my life and there are many stories like yours and the only question remains is does real genuine unconditional love exist? ?
Of course it does you just need to find the ' right one ' but that's a task in itself ! I have known my now husband all in for 6 and a half years now, married for 3 years next month. In all that time I've only been able to visit morocco 3 times ! Each for a month. He is not able to come here visa rejected twice, so now i have to go there to live, but I am currently waiting on him to do for me what I did for him, prepare a home !
Yes you are righ but most want out and will
Do whatever. Me and my husband did get on like a house on fire. We had a lot in common and he was happy when I was there but when I came home arguing etc. I think his mum was pressuring him about me to hurry. He is man of the home. I’m not saying he didn’t eventually have feelings bcz he did but I didn’t want him to need me. True about ever lasting love though. If I could do anything for him tomorrow I would but I’m letting him get on with his life and I wish him the best but it would not have lasted. Maybe I’m just negative bcz of other people’s experiences and one woman I knew and it was like out a movie. I don’t know but what’s for us and all that. All I am saying is if they want to rush then it’s to get out make money. He was ok but the family I think were pressuring him. Plus you can’t know someone by visiting once a month.
Lynn I would say 3 times in 6 n half years is hardly a perfect marriage? What is stopping you from moving to Morocco is not difficult for UK and if your married your half way there.
Candy I don't have the answers but good luck with your future plans. Morroco is not to blame as is a genuinely wonderful country.
I’m not blaming. I love Morocco but I have been there enough to see many things not good or civilised sorry. I don’t blame him either!
Candy many countries are similar. However there are many civilised parts and you have not been shown the real morrocco.
Is a fast developing strong economical country and will only get better.
Glasgow is a great city with great interest but again has its problems. If you are ever in tanger you must let me know
Nascabo I agree it's not a perfect marriage I never said it was, same as candy we get on great when together but apart that's when arguments can start, as i do blame distance and the length of time we are apart. Not many could cope after all this time and it is taking its toll on both of us. Thing is, we are married yes, live apart for reason he had been refused visa twice so I am waiting for him to provide for me a home as i am used to my privacy space own routine etc I disagree to living with his parents I dont want that and I don't have to accept it either, so until he can save and provide a home I remain here, but I cant wait forever
I would like to add I cant afford to keep jumping on planes to go and see him either
Hi Lynn no offence but you expect him to provide a home? If you are genuinely in love then you could have moved and made things work. Rent for a few months and you being a weterner and equal qualities and equal pay and women being totally equal? Yet you want hin to buy a house no doubt a car and be able to provide before you move to morroco then sadly there is no future as 6 plus years an a couple of visits is more like a holiday fling. No offence in any way intended. Good luck
Actually I do take offence as this is how you want me to feel right ? As his wife all i ask is he provides an apartment for me to live as husband and wife I shouldn't be expected to live with his parents and family I am used to my own space my own home I have an apartment here for us both its not my fault he cant come here , am i asking too much to have a home for us both ? I dont think so ! This is my right . I don't drive I dont care for a car I'm not a money orientated person I dont care for a big house a car or fancy clothes etc etc all i want is a home of our own rental or not I don't care..as i said not my fault I cant afford flights regularly, I have health issues and i dont have a job. I am not expecting the world from him, I provided what i could here for us all i ask he provides a home for us there, it's not my fault we are in this situation you should be careful how you judge people before you open your mouth
Hi Glasgow has parts that are full of poverty because of drug addicts. Many years ago there was a lot of drug wars etc so yes we have bad but I’m very far from those places. I live in a very low crime area. I just found in marrakech everyone was out to scam you. Didn’t matter where I went I got hassle for money but I soon got used to it lol.
I don’t trust parts of his family and I’ll never know if he was using me. I heard tangier is beautiful though 😊
You should not put your issues on a site open for comment and now you are offended? ?
Was not my intention. But please do not tell me to watch anything as I would never marry someone for a visa or expect to be financed. A real marriage is a partnership without conditions .
Hi Lynne
I’ve went to Morocco every month for 3 years bcz he wanted me there. I lived with his mum and never felt out of place. My kids loved it to. You should try living with his mum untill youscmake money for a home. My husbands family are not poor but not rich either. My husband works here and there. I know he could never afford a house so I would live there no problem but I have responsibilities here. If he had money he always bought me gifts etc but they don’t make much.
It is just a shame I didn’t think it was right.
Just to many stories out there and few niggles that said no. I have the salary to bring him but just thought it was t reality. I must say I spent a lot of time there before marrying. You must get to know the family properly. I would say it’s not fair to your guy if he has no money. You did know that before marriage right? It’s not easy for them. I wish you good luck though
Candy not you seems we sent messages at the same time? Lols
Lyn I was referring to.
Tanger and the north of Morocco is the place to be ..tanger city has 2 parts but there are many places in and around tanger you would not get the hassles of bigger cities.
Again I never intend to offend anyone but speak truth as I see it and based on 10 years plus of living in morrocco.
This is an open forum and if you just want positive and people to agree then again this is never the place.
Glasgow is a great city with great golf courses and yes has problems like most cities in UK and around the world.
Ok so i should be able to say what I feel as i was not offending anyone but you judged me nascabo remember ? I would be happy to stay with his parents and family candy for just few months if I knew we had somewhere set up to go , but i couldn't long term as that does not suit me I want a normal married life with my husband our own home I need my privacy etc I don't want to share a kitchen etc with his mother and sister there are several of them still living at home and none of them speak my language apart my husband. So that's not for me I will remain here until he can get something organised for us as I say I don't mind staying for few months but no more.
Yeah same there are sisters etc at home there to but I actually prefer it. It’s a big villa so I get my privacy. That is normal life there though but depends how you get on with the mum etc and if you are comfortable. I was thinking moving into the top
Part of the house but my kids didn’t want to leave uk. Good luck though
Hello!! Would really appreciate some advice if that’s ok? Was a while since u posted this so not sure if you are still even on this?
