Hi,

How are you? I would like to ask you a few questions regarding getting married in Bangladesh. Here is my situation. I am getting a divorce and as soon as my divorce is granted, I would like to marry someone I know in Dhaka. I am a Canadian citizen and he is a Citizen in Dhaka, Bangladesh. What is the procedure? What documents do we need to get married? What are the requirements? How long does it take? Do I have to be residing in Dhaka 14 days prior to registering for marriage or can my future spouse (who resides in Dhaka) do everything from Dhaka and when I come, we can get married right away? How many witnesses do we need? Can the witness be anyone? Please advise as I can accordingly plan taking holidays from my work (in Canada) in order to go to Bangladesh and finally get married to my beloved as soon as my divorce is granted. Please help me with these questions as it is so difficult to find all the information online as I have e-mailed here and there and I received no reply. As for my future spouse, he is also finding out in Dhaka but we both want to make sure that we have solid information as we want to make sure we get all the proper information.

Thank you very much and best regards,

Rehana
