Marriage in Syria and abroad: the contract and its registration

In Syria, marriage is concluded at the sharia court, a contract with a sheikh outside it needs later confirmation, and Syrians abroad marry under local law and then register it. Zawjni's role comes before all of that: marriage-minded introductions between Syrians wherever they are, without exploitation.

How is a Syrian marriage concluded and registered?

Marriage in Syria is concluded at the sharia court. A marriage performed by a sheikh outside the court needs a later confirmation (tathbit zawaj) to be registered and to protect the wife's and children's rights.

Outside Syria, marriage is concluded under the country of residence's law and then registered with the embassy or through an agent in Syria. Zawjni does not conclude marriages or issue documents.

Meeting for marriage, without exploitation

Some searches for marriage with Syrian women start from the circumstances of displacement and need, and that is not what Zawjni is built for. The site is for registered marriage between equal partners, and profiles state marital status and intention from the start.

If any member asks you for money, private photos or an unregistered marriage, block them and report them from their profile; our team reviews every report. Zawjni never asks for or publishes your phone number.

Before you write your profile

State your current city and country (Damascus, Aleppo, Istanbul, Berlin...), your marital status and whether you would relocate. Explain in your bio how the engagement and contract would happen if the families are in different countries.

Frequently asked questions

What is tathbit zawaj (marriage confirmation) in Syria?

It is a sharia court procedure that registers a marriage concluded outside the court, with a sheikh for example, so it becomes officially documented, the wife's rights are protected and children can be registered.

How do I marry a Syrian woman officially?

After the introduction and the families' agreement, the marriage is concluded at the sharia court in Syria, or under the country of residence's law and then registered with the embassy. A contract with a sheikh alone needs later confirmation.

What do I do if a member asks me for money?

Do not send anything. Block the member and report them from their profile; our team reviews every report.
