Hey, I wanted to just ask whether it is possible to only get married religiously in Morrocco and not legally?

Also how is it possible to do this if I am not Muslim?

Hello

The marriage in Morrocco is legal and religious at the same time.

Muslim’s can get married Just religiously but it would bring difficulties such as not being able to register children, inheritance, owning or renting a house, getting passports residency for children. And it would be illegal in Morroccan law. There is probably no benefit for not doing legally apart from avoiding the cost and paperwork.

I’m guessing you want to get married in Morrocco but not go through the whole difficult paper chase? Are you marrying someone from Morrocco or your own country and what religion are you wanting to marry under
