By inaalya

If someone can help me with some information, thank you in advance!
I will come soon in Qatar to get married. My future husband is an expa.
I have a document issued on 25th May, atesting taht i have not been married before.
My first question is: Is it this document still valid (since i know, in mostly of the contries, the validity is for 3 months) or i need a new one to be issued.
My second question is: Is there any sample letter for my parents give their consent for their daughter get married? (From the information that i got, i understood that i need bring with me this letter).

Hi,

Once you have your residence permit; your starting point is going to be your embassy. They should advise you on the procedures and what documents you require.

Then you will have to go to Sharia Court along with two witnesses, and a letter from your Father saying that he agrees to you getting married is a must.

You will have to have your ID cards; You may need to check in Doha as to my knowledge both of you must be a Qatari resident to be able to get married in Qatar.

You must also undergo a medical screening prior to getting married.

PS. I have got these information through some friends who have done this process before and hope it helps.
