Do Muslims need a marriage license to have a valid marriage?
Marriages among Muslims are treated with special consideration regarding documentation. They can be performed validly without the strict necessity of securing a marriage license. This exception is provided by Article 33 Family Code of the Philippines. However, the marriage must be solemnized in accordance with their established customs, rites, or practices. “Art. 33. Marriages among Muslims or among members of the ethnic cultural communities may be performed validly without the necessity of a marriage license, provided that they are solemnized in accordance with their customs, rites or practices.” 31-Jul-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
