For marriages of non-Syrians within Syria, "Having verified | |||
the authenticity and completeness of the application, the religious judge will forward the | |||
application to an assistant who will have the partners recite the formulaic declaration and | |||
sign the standard marriage contract and will then duly document the marriage." | |||
Marriages of Syrian citizens to foreigners inside Syria, "Marriages of Syrian citizens (or Syrian Palestinians1) to non-Arab foreigners require | |||
prior approval from the Syrian Minister of Interior or the person authorized by him (as | |||
per Legislative Decree 26 of 2007). Without such approval, a marriage to a foreigner | |||
cannot be registered in the civil registry, notwithstanding a court ruling. | |||
In the event of a divorce occurring prior to the registration of the marriage (or the | |||
receipt of the formal approval), both the marriage and the divorce will be registered, | |||
without the formal approval being necessary any longer." | |||
