Conditions get married Quebec / General Requirements
People who wish to get married or form a civil union must respect, among others, the following requirements:
- be at least 18 years old. People aged between 16 and 18 can get married if they obtain parental consent or the consent of their tutors, but they cannot form a civil union;
- give their consent publicly, freely and clearly, before an authorized officiator and in the presence of two witnesses;
- be free of any former marriages or civil unions with other people;
- not be closely related (respecting matrimonial law – prohibited degrees of kinship).
Parties to a civil union can get married despite the bond that has already united them. The marriage will entail the dissolution of the civil union, while maintaining its civil effects, which will be, from that point on, considered as effects of the marriage, starting from the date when their civil union had been officiated.
