Conditions and procedure for state registration of marriage

Wedding is a special day in the life of every person. In our country, in order to become a husband and wife, it is necessary to officially register the marriage. To learn how to do this, read our material.

According to the Family Code of the Russian Federation, a man and a woman can conclude a marriage, who have not only desire, but also opportunities. At a minimum, there should be no reason to prohibit marriage. Firstly, marriage in the Russian Federation is possible only between heterosexual persons, and secondly, the age according to which a marriage can be entered into by law is set at 18 years. But there are exceptions.

Sometimes legislation allows for marriage from 16 years and even from 14 years in some regions. (Moscow, Belgorod, Vologda, Nizhny Novgorod and Kaluga regions). Lowering the age of marriage can be, for example, if the future spouse is pregnant or the young man goes into the army (as well as in other cases provided by law). Marriage registration in exceptional circumstances is possible only with the permission of local governments. When registering a marriage with minors, the consent of their parents is also required, and in the case of their absence, guardians.

Marriage registration occurs after filing an application and all necessary references. As a rule, the deadline for registration of marriage is 30 days after the date of filing the application and no later than 12 months from the date of its writing. In practice, however, you have to wait about two months, but in the summer, the number of spouses is longer, therefore the period may be longer.

The very process of marriage can take place in the form of a solemn ceremony. in a separate room with guests, rings, wedding dress, witnesses, towel and music. However, the atmosphere may not be solemn - you can sign in the office of the state registrar of a civil registration even without a bride's dress and rings. Everyone chooses what he likes and can afford. In either case, the newlyweds will receive what they came for - acknowledging their voluntary consent to consider the other half as their spouse or spouse and, accordingly, the rights and obligations of the latter, in accordance with applicable law. It is also important to note that marriage registration takes place only in the personal presence of persons wishing to marry.

But there are times when marriage is impossible. They are spelled out in the legislation of the Russian Federation, namely, in the Family Code.

These include:

• finding a person in a registered marriage;
• between relatives (banned alliances with their grandparents, uncles, brothers, sisters, nephews);
• if the bride or groom (or both) are incapable (recognized as such by a court decision);
• between adoptive parents and adopted children.

In the event that you are denied registration of the union, you can always appeal to the higher organization or to the court. The appeal procedure is simple.

Medical examination before marriage is not necessary to pass, it is done only at the request of the couple. Moreover, the results of the examination of the person can be communicated to the couple together only with the consent of the subject. Otherwise, it is a medical secret known only to the patient and the doctor.However, if after the conclusion of a marriage, it turns out that the spouse is sick with a venereal (or some other) disease and did not report it before the marriage to the second spouse, the union may be declared invalid and the marriage will be canceled.

If a man and a woman have reached the age of marriage and register the union for the first time, they are required to fill out an application on Form 3 of the established sample and pay the state fee. You can also submit an application through the website of public services, assuring it with electronic signatures. In addition, it is possible to apply for the desire to enter into an alliance with a notarized signature of the second person.

The statement indicates that the consent of individuals is voluntary, confirms the absence of grounds for prohibiting marriage, specifies the age, information about the presence of children. It also provides personal information recorded in identity documents, spells what name each spouse will wear after marriage, nationality, education, and marital status at the time of marriage. The statement is joint and signed by both parties. Documents supporting the above facts are attached to the application. The state duty is set at 350 rubles. Solemn registration will cost a little more.

In the current year, it became possible to register a marriage in any region of the Russian Federation, regardless of the registration of the place of residence. To submit an application, it is enough to apply to any civil registry office in the country (without reference to the registration of a place of residence). It is also possible to register the marriage without registration of one of the future spouses. The lack of registration of the place of residence does not invalidate the passport, and employees of the registry office do not have the right to refuse to accept the application and conduct registration of marriage. In the application, it is only necessary to indicate that there is no place of permanent residence.

There are cases when registration needs to be accelerated and not just a month or two or more, but much faster - up to a month after the application was submitted.

Consider the most common ones:

• woman's pregnancy - a certificate from the hospital will speed up the date of registration;
• severe illness of the future spouse;
• just born baby, whose parents are future spouses;
• long business trip of one of the future spouses.

As we have already mentioned above, registration can be both solemn and not solemn. It can be urgent and simple. You can sign the registry office, and a solemn ceremony to hold in any place you like. For this, the couple signs at the registry office, receives a certificate of marriage, and already in a solemn atmosphere with the guests and in a beautiful place holds a touching ceremony with a beautiful dress, rings. All this, as a rule, occurs in some picturesque place, so that the joy of marriage will be remembered for long by both the young and their guests.

If young people do not want a holiday or a traditional wedding, they can register a marriage without a dress and rings on any, even a weekday, day (except Sunday and Monday). In case of an irresponsible registration, only future spouses and the photographer can attend. Guests in this case can congratulate the young only on the street.

You can hold an urgent registration of marriage, for example, during pregnancy. And it is possible to set a deadline from the moment of filing the application within 12 months.However, with such a long period it is necessary to confirm your desire to register a marriage. In different registry offices - at different times (from two weeks to a month before the expected date of marriage). In case of illness or unforeseen circumstances, the date of marriage registration can be postponed by writing a corresponding statement about it and attaching supporting official documents.
