Marriage consummation
Two people who wish to marry each other are married by a civil registrar as part of a civil marriage ceremony. The marriage ceremony takes place at a place designated (prescribed) for this purpose by the competent authority.
Description
In order to enter into a marriage, a civil marriage ceremony is required under German law.
When examining the so-called capacity to marry of foreign spouses (certificate of capacity to marry from the home country), it is important to determine whether there are any legal obstacles to marriage under the respective home country law of the foreign partner. This check is intended to prevent a marriage being entered into in Germany that is invalid or annullable in the home country of the spouses.
The marriage is performed as part of the civil marriage of two persons by a registrar.
The only exception is the marriage of two foreigners before a wedding officiant duly authorized by the government of the home country in the form prescribed by the law of that country, provided that one of the fiancées is a national of that country.
