Marriage by country

Marriage in Lebanon: the courts, sect and meeting someone serious

There is no civil marriage performed inside Lebanon: marriage goes before the court of the couple's sect, which is why sect comes up early. On Zawjni you can state your sect or leave it blank, and introductions between Lebanese at home and abroad are free, without your number being published.

How is marriage concluded in Lebanon?

There is no civil marriage performed inside Lebanon. Marriage is concluded before the religious court of the couple's sect, while a civil marriage contracted abroad is recognised.

That is why many people ask about sect before any step. Zawjni does not conclude marriages or issue documents.

Sect in Lebanese marriage: how to state it on your profile

Among the most common Lebanese searches are "Shia Lebanese marriage site" and "marrying a Sunni Lebanese woman", because sect determines which court the marriage goes through and it comes up early.

Zawjni has a sect field with Sunni, Shia, just Muslim and other options, and you can leave it blank. Being upfront about it saves both sides time.

Before you write your profile

State your area (Beirut, Tripoli, Saida, the Bekaa...) or your country of residence in the Gulf or Europe, and set whether you would relocate. Marital status, including divorced and widowed, has its own profile field.
