What is a civil marriage?

Updated by OURMARRIAGEJOURNEY

A civil marriage is a marriage ceremony officiated by a Licensed Solemniser in the presence of 2 credible witnesses.         

 

The Registry of Marriages (ROM) Singapore administers the provisions of the Women's Charter 1961 for the solemnisation and registration of civil marriages. For cases where either one party to the intended marriage is a non-Muslim, the couple may consider registering a civil marriage with the Registry.
