Marriage between swiss/french woman and sharjah man
Hi together. I am from Switzerland/France (I have two passports) and going to get married to a local from Sharjah. I would like to ask you what kind of documents will be requested from the court to get married. We are both muslim.
You will see down some requirements I have already found. But it is also written: More documents may be required dependant on your nationality or situation.
What kind of documents will be required? Because every court is saying something else. Please help if you can.
