How do Khmer marriage procedures work?

    Marriage is a legal bond that affirms the interdependence of men and women. Marriage is the deepest economic, social, and romantic bond that allows a man and a woman to grow together. Marriage is a union that nurtures, educates, and cares for children to become good citizens. According to the new 2007 Civil Code, which was officially promulgated by the Law on the Implementation of the Civil Code in December 2011, a marriage is a contract that is a free agreement between two people that has the right to influence. And their obligations that the state will recognize and enforce through the legal system. Marriage is a contract that, unlike other contracts, the parties can not dissolve the marriage arbitrarily. Instead, the parties can terminate their marriage in accordance with the specific rules and procedures set out in the law. What are the procedures for two people who want to get married? To make sure their marriage is legal. In most parts of the world, too, completing the formalities of a formal marriage is vital. To have a legal marriage, there are eight major procedural requirements. According to the Civil Code, the Law on the Implementation of the Civil Code and the Sub-Decree on the Civil Status of Cambodia set out a number of principles for legal marriage as follows: 1. Marriage application Prior to the marriage ceremony, the man and the woman who wish to marry must make a certificate from the respective commune of their respective parties about being single, widowed or widowed, without any obligation to any other person. After receiving this certificate, both the surviving parents or guardians must apply for marriage in the commune or commune where the woman lives. After the commune chief or commune chief receives the application, in his capacity as a registrar, a marriage license must be issued to both parties and posted in public. The commune chief who issued the certificate of singleness, widow or widower must have a new 4x6 photo attached, and this letter is only valid for 3 months. 2. Public poster The Commune / Sangkat Chief, who acts as the registrar in the commune where the woman lives, issues the marriage permit and the issuer of the marriage certificate. Public posters of marriage planning to be married must be posted within 10 days at the women's residence and at the women's commune / sangkat, and also at the male sangkat's residence and commune to be rich. Marriage benefits can be sued against this marriage. The law specifically states that posters must have the following information: Last name, first name, age, occupation and residence of the future husband and wife Last name, first name, age, occupation and residence of the parents of the future spouse or if any of the parents dies, it shall be declared dead. Set a time limit for the parties to file a complaint against the marriage. 3. Waiting time Both parties to the marriage must wait at least 10 days after the closing date of the marriage announcement, and if no one can appeal their marriage plan after that time, the marriage can take place. Smoothly. 4. People can file a marriage lawsuit If a person files a complaint against a marriage plan, the official of the relevant institution must complete the complaint before the marriage can be arranged. Sub-Decree No. 103 on Civil Status states that "persons who have an interest in marriage" have the right to appeal. However, the sub-decree did not specify who the “beneficiaries” were entitled to object. The beneficiary may be a relative, parent or guardian, or any third party who may be directly involved in the marriage, such as the party planning to get married, having been married and having remarried or previously living together. Unmarried people can file a complaint against the marriage plan within 10 days from the closing of the marriage announcement. The question is, do people who live together in a non-sexual way have the right to file a complaint against a marriage plan? If they have a village chief, the neighbors know that they are living together as a couple but not in a traditional marriage and not in a civil marriage (marriage registration). The parties may not file a complaint to the Commune / Sangkat Chief to assist in the prevention of the marriage project, and the Commune / Sangkat Chief will ask for documents proving that the two have been married to each other, using the marriage certificate as proof. No complaint was received, no ban on marriage was issued, and the court did the same. In cases where both of you have a residence permit or a family certificate to prove to the commune chief or commune chief or to the court. A residence permit or family certificate is not a marriage certificate that clearly indicates that both parties are married. The letter only confirms the residence.
