Marriage Registration Process in Nepal - Legal Guide 2025

Marriage in Nepal is a legal and socially recognized union between two persons that establishes rights and obligations for the couple and their families. The legal marriage age in Nepal is 20 years. Marriages can be conducted through court registration or social/religious rituals. The process involves application submission, residence verification, consent deed signing, and issuance of a marriage certificate. Nepali citizens and foreign nationals must meet specific criteria and provide necessary documents for successful registration. This ensures marriages are legally recognized and protects the rights of both parties under the law.

Marriage Registration of Foreigner in Nepal: Step-by-Step Guide

Marriage registration for foreigners in Nepal is a legally recognized process under the Muluki Civil Code, 2074. To register, both parties must be mentally sound, at least 20 years old, and free of any existing marriages. Foreign nationals must stay in Nepal for 15 days, submit a no-objection letter, valid passport with visa, and translated legal documents. Applications are submitted to the District Court, followed by residence verification, a consent deed, and certificate issuance. Given the complexity of legal and linguistic requirements, legal representation is strongly recommended. A valid Nepali marriage certificate is essential for immigration, legal status, and international recognition.
