Marriage NOC

Me and my Fiancée will get married in our embassy, maybe the NOC is for formality only...what u think?

EVERYTHING is subject to change without notice and without accountability.

It is what it is :)

As far as the family court is concerned only one law applies to all nationalities. They genuinely did not care what our nationalities were. They only care about religion... I am not saying that is any better.

That clears a lot of things.

I was specifically talking about the Qatari family court. Some expat communities in Qatar have some kind of marriage officials over here, whether it is at their embassies or outside.

In my case, since my wife and I are of different nationalities, we could not get married at the embassy.

I see. You actually did not get married in the QATARI family court. The Qatari family court works strictly by Islamic rites. Who married you in accordance to your religious rites?

Did you get married in Qatar?

Because if you are neither Muslim nor Christian the court here (in theory) has no jurisdiction to marry you.

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.

tinkerbell10 thanks for the sample...

It is a violation of a basic human right. Responsibility or not. The freedom of choice of a partner is not available in this country. It is, indeed, modern slavery again.

Did you marry someone who was employed by a company here and on a seperate RP ?

Huh?

I got married in Qatar and I did not need any NOC from anyone!

Seriously what are you talking about?

I heard some pretty disgusting stuff in the gulf but that is in the top 10. Slaves have to get permission to get married. What is this? The 7th century? That is just sick

Do you now have grounds to sue the company ?

funny lol

I agree with Tinkerbell10. A colleague of mine had a similar issue and had to get an NOC. I did wonder myself at that point in time why this was necessary. But now I understand it is because of the difference in Sponsors.

don't you tinks;-P

Wish that your company never issued NOC?

Well QL teaches us something new every day.. Why should the company care who you marry ?

What if they said No ?

Anyway, i don't want to hijack his post..

Visionint : Good Luck

Ok.. If what tinkerbell is saying is true, then I apologise unreservedly.

I am amazed and disturbed that such a thing as a Marriage NOC exists.. :O(

c'mon dude this is serious....

Britey, you crack me up LOL

lol brit
