How can I marry non resident in Kuwait??
In Kuwait
Last Updated: May 21, 2025
Me and my partner had a nikah in uk but that was only religious marriage and was not register anywhere else. I have been told to come to Kuwait and marry her again properly in the court on the tourist visa and afterwards do the iqama for her as she is not Kuwaiti and no resident in here. I m Kuwaiti she is eu citizen from Poland. We both met in London while I was studying. How I can marry her if she is not resident and she doesn't have civil id or where can I marry her on tourist visa if we both leave to marry somewhere else. I heard we can go different country and is gonna be easier to do that just wondering where??

Please be advised that marriage laws in Kuwait are subject to ongoing changes and have become more stringent in recent years. In your specific case, as a Kuwaiti citizen wishing to legalize a marriage with a non-resident foreign national, it is important to understand the current legal requirements.
As of now, in order to proceed with the legal registration of the marriage before the Kuwaiti court, your partner must hold a valid Kuwait Civil ID, which means she must be residing in Kuwait on a valid residency (Iqama) visa, not a tourist visa. Without this, the court will not process the marriage registration.
