What are the requirements for foreigners to marry in Turkey?
The marriage is concluded before the marriage officer at the municipal marriage office, and the legal age is 18 with limited exceptions. A foreigner usually submits a passport, an attested and translated certificate of no impediment from their home country, a health report from a Turkish hospital, and photos.
Turkey lets someone married to a Turkish citizen apply for citizenship after at least three years of marriage while the marriage continues, and the authorities review each application. Zawjni does not give legal or immigration advice.
Syrians and Arabs in Turkey: why a sheikh's contract is not enough
Many Syrians and Arabs in Turkey search for "Turkish marriage law for Syrians" and "registering a marriage in Turkey". The legal answer is clear: a religious marriage alone has no legal effect in Turkey and does not protect the wife in residence, maintenance, divorce or registering children.
Polygamy is a crime under Turkish law, and that applies to Turks, foreigners and refugees alike. So anyone looking for a second wife in Turkey runs into the law, and both sides need to know that from the start. Zawjni has no phone field, and you can report any account.
