Marriage consummation with custodial partner
Service Description
For the establishment of a marriage, the civil marriage ceremony is fundamentally required in the German legal sphere.
Process flow
Before the marriage, the spouses shall be asked whether there have been any changes in their actual circumstances concerning the prerequisites for marriage since the registration of the marriage and whether they wish to determine a married name.
The marriage ceremony should be performed in a dignified form corresponding to the significance of the marriage. Witnesses to the marriage are no longer mandatory under German law, but can still be involved.
The marriage ceremony takes place at a place dedicated (prescribed) for this purpose by the competent authority (registry office).
The legal marriage requires the legal capacity (especially the natural capacity and the marital capacity) of the spouses, which is checked by the registry office. The declarations of the spouses that they wish to enter into marriage with each other must be recorded by the registrar in minutes following the marriage. The record must contain all the information to be recorded in the marriage register. It must be signed by the spouses, the witnesses and the registrar.
Who should I contact?
To perform the marriage ceremony, please contact the registry office where the marriage is to be performed.
