Two people from different countries
wanting to be married in a third country.

Does anyone know which countries allow
absentee marriages?

*asking for a friend*

No I wouldn't know!

Google is your best friend?

And aren't we getting invites to the happy happening?

You can put me down as an absentee attendee. Just make sure there is an empty chair for me to not sit in.

If it works, I want to get absentee married on Saturn. The rings are already there.

Google would only show me Texas rules.

And,

It's *for a friend*


Me? Get married?

Has Hell finally frozen over?


P.S.
If I ever do, of course there will be
Mingle2 invites.

new zealand does i think

Well, one never knows, hihi. People can change their mind.
You wouldn't be the first man to say he'd never marry again, only to do so when he meets the right woman.

Over here you can get married by the glove, but there has to be a very good reason otherwise you don't get permission.

Not sure about your question... I take it to mean that neither are going to be present?
I don't think any country would do that. Maybe a 3rd world country if you pay them enough.

If your asking about ‘double proxy marriages’ ie where neither party would be present then I think Montana, Texas, California, Colorado, Alabama, Nigeria, Paraguay and Brazil would recognise double proxy marriages and would allow it.

Thank you.
This may be what my friend meant.

Here in the UK we have the FCO (Foreign & Commonwealth Office) which provides Foreign Travel Advice regarding travel to any country from the UK and advises on any restrictions or warnings in visiting the country.

For some countries there is a section on " Living in the country "which provides information on getting married there. In order to marry, a British national will need to obtain a Certificate of No Impediment (CNI) from the UK. This document must be obtained from the UK.

May be worth your friend visiting this website, as regulations regarding marriage in any country by a foreigner are likely to apply to all foreigners, so they could establish the kind of documents, if any, that are required by them in order for them to marry there, and some countries do not allow same sex marriages.


Good luck to your friend.

This is what I found~~

In the United States, proxy marriages are provided for in law or by customary practice in Texas, Colorado, Kansas, and Montana. Of these, Montana is the only state that allows double-proxy marriage. Proxy marriages cannot be solemnized in any other U.S. states.


Proxy marriages are notably legal today in a few American states, though it is generally restricted to members of the armed services who are on active duty.Mar 25, 2020

That's interesting! I've visited in Montana.

I'm not sure if this changes the
original question.

My friend just clarified what they
are asking...

In which countries, can these marriages
be legalized?

If you need to prove you are not already married in order to marry in another country, I would guess the marriage is legal in both the country where you marry. and the country where you hold citizenship.

I don't think we do. You may be thinking about same sex marriage, which we do.

I was thinking about that too.
Because my girl got married in the US, but none of the government organisations over here knew, nor gave a toss when she needed it proven that she was married.
Now this is from 2 first world countries, but it still would've required a helluva lot of paperwork.

I think if your friend is trying to get someone in the US and they come from a 3rd world country it's going to be difficult. My girl didn't have a problem with anything in the US because she was from a 1st world country, so the country of origin does matter. And in general no first world country is going to be chuffed to hand out a greencard to someone who normally wouldn't and couldn't get one...

Tell him to ask a lawyer or some other official in the US.

Booked Atlantis.... but could only get a winter date.

Lol

Both are from different Eastern European countries,
living in another Eastern European country.
And, it gets complicated from there.
