Frequently asked questions
Do you need to travel to Morocco for the proceedings?
In many cases, no: the lawyer can represent the client before the court on the basis of the documents and, where necessary, a power of attorney. Some procedures do, however, require the parties to attend in person, for example reconciliation attempts in a divorce. We tell you from the outset which steps require your presence.
How do you register in Morocco a marriage celebrated abroad?
Article 14 of the Family Code allows Moroccans living abroad to marry according to local administrative formalities, provided the substantive conditions of the Code are met, in particular the presence of two Muslim witnesses. Article 15 then requires a copy of the marriage certificate to be filed, within three months, with the Moroccan consular services or, failing that, with the Ministry of Justice. If difficulties arise, an action for recognition of the marriage may be considered.
