britexpat; yes, someone who was employed by a company here and on a seperate RP.

Employer / Sponsor has NOTHING to do with marriage of employee.

Provided both bride and groom have valid RPs in Qatar, the family court in Qatar will only ask for a letter of approval from the father of the bride if he is not physically present in the court during the wedding, and an attested/translated civic record or something that proves the bride is not married. In addition to doing a medical test and bringing 2 witnesses to court, there is nothing else to it.

However, keep in mind that the family court here will only marry a Muslim male to a Muslim or Christian female. They will not carry out the marriage of the groom is not a Muslim or if the bride is not a Muslim nor Christian.

Only one exception to this rule: Female cabin crew working at Qatar Airways.
