Proxy Marriage in Pakistan

According to Pakistani law, any citizen who is of age and of sound mind can get married. The law does not put any restrictions on any Pakistani citizen who wants to get married. Marriage is a civil contract in Pakistan and only requires free will from both parties. This free will can be expressed in person or through a lawyer. Proxy marriages are legal in Pakistan and allow couples to get married even if they are not physically present in the country.

In Pakistan, the only requirements for a proxy marriage are that the male and female should be adults, and sane. The marriage should also be of free will/choice. However, it is up to your lawyer to properly conduct the proxy marriage in Pakistan as the registration is entirely in his hands. If the marriage procedure is not conducted correctly, the marriage will be void. Therefore, it is important to have a trustful and reliable lawyer to avoid any issues that could arise from incorrect paperwork.

Proxy Marriage Documents

If you're a Pakistani national and you're in Pakistan, you'll need to show your ID card. If you're not in Pakistan, you'll need to show your ID card and passport copy. If your spouse is not a Pakistani national and is abroad, you'll need to show his or her passport copy or driving license. You may also need to show a power of attorney attested by the embassy or consulate, but this may be skipped depending on the situation and circumstance.
