What are the rules for marrying in France?
French law recognises only the civil marriage at the mairie, and it must come before any religious ceremony; French law penalises a minister who performs a religious marriage before the civil one. You submit a file including birth certificates and proof of address, then the banns are posted at the mairie for at least ten days before the ceremony.
Marriage is a right that does not depend on legal residence, so a foreigner without papers can marry at the mairie, but marriage does not grant residence automatically and the mairie may check that the marriage is genuine. Zawjni does not give legal advice.
