A wedding is a special day in the life of every person. In our country, in order to become a husband and wife, you must officially register a marriage. Read about how to do this in our material.
Marriage conditions
According to the Family Code of the Russian Federation, a man and woman who have not only desire but also opportunities can marry. At a minimum, there should be no reason to prohibit marriage. Firstly, marriage in the Russian Federation is possible only between heterogeneous persons, and secondly, the age according to which the law allows marriage to be set at 18 years. But there are exceptions.
Sometimes legislation allows marriage from 16 years old and even from 14 years old in some regions (Moscow, Belgorod, Vologda, Nizhny Novgorod and Kaluga regions). It is possible to lower the age of marriage, for example, if the future spouse is pregnant or the young man enters the army (as well as in other cases provided for by law). Registration of marriage in exceptional circumstances is possible only with the permission of local authorities. When registering a marriage by minors, the consent of their parents is also necessary, and in case of their absence, guardians.
Registration of marriage occurs after the application and all necessary certificates. As a rule, the marriage registration deadline is set 30 days after the date of application and no later than 12 months from the date of its writing. In practice, you have to wait about two months, but in the summer there are more spouses, so the period may be longer.
The process of marriage itself can take the form of a ceremony in a separate room with guests, rings, a wedding dress, witnesses, a rushnyk and music. However, the atmosphere may not be solemn - you can sign in the office of the state registrar of 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 - recognition of their voluntary consent to consider the second half as spouse or spouse and, accordingly, the appearance of the latter rights and obligations, in accordance with applicable law. It is also important to note that marriage registration occurs only with the personal presence of persons wishing to enter into marriage.
But there are times when marriage is not possible. 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 (unions with their grandmothers, uncles, brothers, sisters, nephews are prohibited);
- if the bride or groom (or both) are legally incompetent (recognized by court decision as such);
- between adoptive parents and adopted children.
In the event that you have received a refusal to register a union, you can always appeal it to a higher organization or to a court. The appeal procedure is simple.
Medical examination before marriage is optional, this 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 concluding a marriage, it turns out that the spouse has a venereal (or some other) disease and did not inform the second spouse before marriage, the union may be invalidated and the marriage will be canceled.
Required documents
If a man and a woman have reached marriageable age and are registering a union for the first time, then they are required to fill out an application according to Form 3 of the established form and pay the state fee. You can also submit an application through the public services website, assuring him with electronic signatures. In addition, it is possible to file a declaration of desire to enter into an alliance with a notarized signature of a second person.
The statement indicates that the consent of the persons is voluntary, confirms the absence of grounds for the prohibition of marriage, indicates age, information about the presence of children. Personal information is also provided, recorded in identity documents, it is recorded what surname each spouse will wear after marriage, nationality, education, marital status at the time of marriage are noted. This statement is joint and signed by both parties. Documents confirming the above facts are attached to the application. State duty is set at 350 rubles. Solemn registration will cost a little more.
This year, marriage registration has become possible in any region of the Russian Federation, regardless of registration of place of residence. To apply, it is enough to contact any registry office in the country (without reference to the registration of place of residence). It is also possible to register spouses without registration of one of the future spouses. The lack of registration of the place of residence does not invalidate the passport, and the registry office employees do not have the right to refuse to accept the application and register the marriage. The statement only needs to indicate that there is no place of permanent residence.
Rules for applying urgently
There are cases when registration needs to be accelerated and carried out not in a month or two or more, but much faster - up to a month from the date of application.
Consider the most common of them:
- pregnancy of a woman - a certificate from the hospital will expedite the date of registration;
- severe illness of the future spouse;
- a newly born baby whose parents are future spouses;
- long business trip of one of the future spouses.
In such cases, the date of marriage can be found at the time of application. It must be remembered that indicating the grounds for urgent registration, you always need to attach an official document confirming the circumstance that gives the basis for the registration of marriage in a shorter time.
Features of the procedure
As we have already mentioned above, registration can be both solemn and solemn. Maybe she is urgent and simple. You can sign in the registry office, and the ceremony can be held in any place you like. To do this, the couple signs in the registry office, receives a certificate of marriage and already in a festive atmosphere with guests and in a beautiful place holds a touching ceremony with a beautiful dress, rings. All this, as a rule, takes place in some picturesque place, so that the joy of marriage will be remembered for a long time by both 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 weekday, day (except Sunday and Monday). In case of unregistered registration, only future spouses and a photographer can attend. Guests in this case can congratulate the young only on the street.
You can carry out urgent registration of marriage, for example, during pregnancy. Or you can set a deadline from the date of application within 12 months. However, with such a long time it is necessary to confirm your desire to register a marriage. In different registry offices - at different times (from two weeks to a month to the estimated date of marriage). In case of illness or unforeseen circumstances, the date of registration of marriage can be postponed by writing a corresponding application and attaching supporting documents.
