Rules and procedure for registering marriage
The Family Code of the Russian Federation prescribes the rules and procedure for registering a marriage in the registry office.
Registration rules:
- Marriage can only be concluded if the bride and groom are present in person.
- Registration takes place one month after submitting the application. The deadlines may be reduced for valid reasons or extended by several months, but no later than one year from the date of submission of the application.
- When entering into a marriage, spouses of their own free will choose the surname of one as their common name. According to the laws of the Family Code, each spouse also has the right to keep his premarital surname.
- During registration, the bride and groom must confirm their consent to voluntarily enter into marriage.
- A marriage is considered registered after the spouses sign the registration document.
- After registration, the newlyweds receive a marriage certificate.
Special cases
According to the rules of the Family Code, the bride and groom who are personally present at the registration of the document must submit an application for marriage registration to the registry office.
If one of them, for valid reasons, cannot appear at the government agency, the second can submit an application independently. He must present an application from a second person, filled out remotely on form No. 7 with a personal signature certified by a notary.
If one of the newlyweds is in prison, the second can submit an application to the registry office using the above method, pay the state fee, notary services, and also submit an application to the head of the pre-trial detention center with a request to marry. To register in a pre-trial detention center, you must obtain appropriate permission.
On the appointed day of the wedding, an authorized civil registry office employee will conduct an on-site registration ceremony in the pre-trial detention center, where the marriage certificate issued to the newlyweds will be officially issued after the registration of the deed is signed by the two spouses.
The procedure for registering a marriage at the registry office is controlled by the norms and laws of the Russian Federation. The bride and groom must comply with all the conditions for entering into an official marriage, regulated by the Family Code of the Russian Federation.

Marriage, conditions for its conclusion
Nowhere, probably, does a person feel better, more confident, more comfortable than in his family. Lovers do not always think that the continuation of their love will be a strong family union, the path to which lies through an event that has a strict and official name - “marriage.”
The word “marriage” is of ancient Russian origin. "Braciti" means "to select, to select the good and reject the bad." Thus, it has nothing to do with a word that sounds and is written the same, but has a completely different meaning (“worthless goods”).
According to family law , marriage is a voluntary, equal union of a man and a woman, the purpose of which is to create a family.
Marriage should be based on mutual feelings of love, respect and friendship between the spouses. In real life, this is well known, people marry for economic reasons (so-called marriages of convenience) and for other reasons. Scientists believe that the strongest marriages are those created by people who love each other.
However, even the strongest mutual affection is not enough for a marriage to be registered. The law requires compliance with the mandatory conditions and procedures for marriage.
Conditions for marriage.
1. Mutual voluntary consent of a man and a woman to marry. The law does not require the consent of third parties. The fact that the blessing of parents today, unlike, for example, in pre-revolutionary Russia, is not mandatory, certainly does not mean that one can ignore their opinion in such an important matter with a clear conscience. Practice shows that, as a rule, those marriages to which loved ones have given their heartfelt consent are happy.
2. The law requires that those wishing to marry must be of marriageable age. In Russia, for both men and women it is 18 years old. This is the age of majority. In other states, the age of consent may be different. For example, in Ukraine and Uzbekistan - for men it is 18 years old, for women it is 17 years old. In Poland – 18 years for women and 21 years for men; in England for women and men 16 years; in France - 15 years for women and 18 years for men; in Spain, Uruguay, Venezuela - for women 12 years, for men 14 years. According to the Family Code of the Russian Federation, if there are good reasons, by decision of local authorities the age of marriage can be reduced by no more than two years (up to 16 years). Subjects of the Russian Federation are given the right to independently decide on the age of marriage. Persons who marry before reaching the age of 18 become fully capable.
3. Marriage cannot be concluded if at least one of the parties is already in another marriage. In our country there is a principle of monogamy: a person has the right to be in only one marriage at a time.
4. Marriage between close relatives is not allowed
in a direct ascending and descending line (parents and children, grandfather, grandmother and grandchildren), as well as between full (common mother and father) and half (common father or mother) brothers and sisters.
5. Persons suffering from mental illness or dementia cannot marry
and recognized by the court as incompetent for these reasons.
If violations of any of the above conditions are discovered, the marriage is declared invalid, which can only be done by a court.
Article 1 of the RF IC states: “A marriage entered into only in the civil registry office is recognized.”
A young man and a girl come to the registry office. They are young, love each other and agree to get married. Both demand that their marriage be registered today or, at the very least, tomorrow, because tickets have been purchased for the day after tomorrow and they want to go on their honeymoon. Soulless, as it seems to them, employees of the civil registration department (registry office) offer to come to register the marriage in a month. Impatient young people did not take into account that there is a certain procedure for registering a marriage
.
It includes the personal submission of an application by the future husband and wife to the district (city) registry office at the place of residence of one of them. The registry office determines the day of marriage registration no earlier than one month after filing the application. This period can be reduced for valid reasons or increased (no more than three months).
If there are special circumstances (pregnancy, birth of a child, immediate threat to the life of one of the parties and other special circumstances), the marriage can be concluded on the day the application is submitted. Family Code of the Russian Federation, Art. eleven |
State registration of marriage takes place on the appointed day and time, usually in a solemn atmosphere. At the same time, the requests of future spouses who want the registration to take place modestly, without any solemnity, are satisfied. The presence of the bride and groom at registration is mandatory. The newlyweds put their signatures under the marriage registration entry in the civil register, and then these signatures are sealed with the signature of a registry office official. A corresponding entry is made in the passports of the wife and husband. Spouses are issued a marriage certificate.
In our country, a marriage that is not properly registered does not enjoy the protection of the state and law.
.
There is also a church marriage
which is concluded during the performance of a religious ceremony. In Russia until 1917 it had legal force. Nowadays, in some countries, church marriage is officially recognized.
The Family Code of the Russian Federation also establishes the procedure and procedure for divorce
.
Among the reasons for divorces
in the first place are those associated with the behavior of spouses - selfishness, ignoring the interests of the other, drunkenness. Drug addiction and alcoholism are the worst enemies of the family. Life in a family where at least one adult member drinks regularly and behaves accordingly turns into sheer torture. There are other reasons for divorce - adultery, indifferent attitude towards children, their upbringing, irresponsibility, rudeness, wastefulness. Children suffer the most during divorce.
The marriage also ends due to the death of one of the spouses or his recognition by the court as missing. During the life of the spouses, the marriage can be terminated by divorce.
After registering a divorce with the registry office, the mutual rights and obligations of the spouses ( but not in relation to children!
) are considered terminated.

This is interesting |
With the adoption of Christianity in Rus', a collection of Byzantine family law began to operate. Church weddings, introduced in the 11th century, were practiced only among the upper strata of society; the rest of the population married in a traditional ceremony “by the water.” The basis of the relationship between husband, wife and children is the authority of the husband and father. The family during this period resembles a small state with its own head and its own public authority.
The reforms of Peter I marked the beginning of a new period in the development of family law. The voluntariness of marriage began to be given decisive importance. Relatives of persons preparing to start a family were required to take an oath that they did not force the bride and groom to marry.
In the middle of the 19th century. civil laws came into force. In accordance with them, the husband had no right to subject his wife to physical punishment. Civil marriage was not allowed. The power of parents over their children was very strong and harsh.
After the October Revolution, a reform of family legislation was carried out. The only form of marriage for all Russian citizens was civil marriage in government agencies. The conditions for marriage have become much easier. It was enough to reach the age of marriage: 16 years for women and 18 years for men and the mutual consent of the future spouses. Divorce cases were transferred to local courts.
Family legislation was codified only in 1944. The adopted Code of Laws on Family and Marriage of the RSFSR existed until 1996.
(N. Efimenko, lawyer).
Food for thought |
When entering into a marriage, the parties must be aware of each other's health status. The presence of a sexually transmitted disease or HIV infection on one of the parties that is hidden from the other party may serve as grounds for declaring the marriage invalid.
Actual marriage, i.e. not properly registered does not enjoy protection in our country. A marriage concluded in compliance with church rites also does not give rise to legal consequences and is equal to the actual one. Recently, there has been an increase in the number of actual marriages, when people live together, run a common household, often give birth and raise children, but for some reason the marriage is not registered. Throughout the world, a de facto marriage is not equated to a legal one, but it enjoys certain legal protection, for example, children have the right to alimony without establishing paternity, a woman has the right to a certain amount of maintenance from her de facto spouse. In Russia, no legal guarantees are provided for persons living in a de facto marriage, which can be attributed rather to shortcomings of the legislation.

REQUIREMENTS FOR A MARRIAGE CONTRACT
The marriage contract must be concluded in writing and notarized. This is extremely important; without a notary, the contract will not have any force. For this service you will have to pay a state fee, the amount of which is five hundred rubles. It is paid by spouses in equal shares.
A common question is whether state registration of a contract is required? After all, he often establishes a new owner of the property. The list of transactions requiring registration is established by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. The State Registration Law, in turn, indicates that registration is required in cases provided for by law. The Civil Code does not require registration of a marriage contract; accordingly, it is not required. Only rights require registration, and a marriage contract is only a transaction that transfers them. If the contract states that the apartment is transferred from husband to wife, then only the right to this apartment will need to be registered, and not the marriage contract itself.
A common situation is when spouses purchase real estate together; it is registered in the name of one of them, but under the terms of the marriage contract it becomes the property of the other. Then, when a divorce occurs and the ex-husband and wife divide the property, the second spouse is the owner according to the agreement, but in the Unified State Register the owner is the first. To answer this question, you need to refer to Law No. 122-FZ by submitting a marriage contract to the Russian Register.
This problem arose due to shortcomings in the state registration system, which gives rise to conflicts in the law. For example, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, in its ruling dated November 8, 2011 No. 83-B11-5, determined that the right to real estate arose at the moment when the marriage contract was concluded. When the Rosregistry registers property rights, it does not check the marital status of the applicant, whether the property is his personal property or belongs to him as common property. This is also due to the presumption that a spouse acts with the knowledge of the other, established in the Family Code. This also gives rise to situations when government agencies issue extracts that contain information about the ownership of such real estate, where they have only a share or do not have the right to it at all.
It is necessary to note several significant events for a marriage contract: conclusion and dissolution of marriage, its termination, expiration of the contract, its dissolution. The moment when all obligations under the contract are fulfilled.
Ideally, the consequences of all these events should be spelled out in the contract, as well as the duration of the contract. There is no need to indicate the moment when the contract comes into force; it is always the same. The marriage contract comes into force from the moment of state registration of the marriage.
3.1 WHAT CANNOT BE INDICATED IN A MARRIAGE CONTRACT?
The Family Code prohibits the inclusion in a marriage contract of conditions that would limit the rights or legal capacity of spouses, prohibit them from exercising their right to go to court, or defending their rights. As has been repeatedly noted, it is impossible to include in a contract such conditions that would regulate relations other than property ones.
It is worth mentioning separately that the law allows you to challenge an agreement if it puts one of the spouses in an extremely unfavorable position or goes against the basics of family law. In practice, this means that if, according to the agreement, everything belongs to the wife, and the husband receives nothing, the latter will have grounds for such an agreement to be declared invalid. The same applies to agreements under which only one of the spouses assumes all debts, unless most of the property is transferred with them.
Case studies:
1. In the marriage contract, the spouses indicated that the property belongs to the person in whose name it is registered. After the divorce, it turned out that everything acquired during the marriage was registered in the name of the ex-husband. But in the marriage contract there was a clause that the husband undertakes to buy his wife real estate, the characteristics of which were provided for in the contract. The Moscow City Court ruled that this agreement infringed on the interests of the wife and declared it invalid.
2. The husband and wife took out a mortgage. To pay it off, the husband sold his apartment, which was purchased before marriage. A few years later, shortly before the divorce, the spouses entered into a marriage contract, according to which the property would go to the wife, and the husband would not receive any compensation for it. The Moscow City Court sided with the husband, considering this condition unfair.
However, one should not assume that simply transferring most of the property to one of the spouses makes it possible to challenge the marriage contract. In general, courts are reluctant to grant such claims.
Case study: Before marriage, none of the spouses had housing. After the wedding, they took out a mortgage, which was paid off. According to the marriage contract, the mortgaged apartment belongs to the wife. After the divorce, the husband tried to challenge the contract, citing the fact that he was losing his only home, and this infringed on the spouse and put him in an extremely unfavorable position. The court rejected the claim.
Personal non-property and property rights of spouses
The rights and obligations of spouses arise from the date of state registration of marriage in the civil registry office.
Clause 2 of Article 10 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation
On the day of marriage registration, the property and non-property rights of the spouses arise.
Non-property types include the following:
- the right to jointly resolve family life issues;
- the right to give consent to the adoption of a child by the other spouse;
- the right to divorce, etc.
Moreover, the presence of a right in one spouse gives rise to the presence of an obligation in the other. For example, one spouse has the right to give consent to the adoption of a child, while the other is obliged to ask permission, and vice versa. Property rights are of a different nature. Thus, all property of the spouses is divided into premarital and joint property. Property rights are divided into two types of legal relations:
- property relations;
- alimony relations (relations of mutual maintenance of spouses).
Property acquired by spouses while married is joint, and both spouses have equal rights to it. Spouses can enter into a prenuptial agreement and change the property regime. For example, according to the contract, the wife may own an apartment, and the husband may own a dacha and a car. Many couples, when registering a marriage, also draw up a prenuptial agreement, which guarantees the preservation of the interests of both spouses.
A marriage contract is one of the ways to guarantee the personal property rights of spouses
However, among the property acquired after marriage registration, some types of personal property are also distinguished:
- personal items (clothing, cosmetics, personal hygiene items, etc.);
- property acquired under gratuitous contracts (gift, inheritance, etc.).
In addition to rights, spouses have responsibilities not only to each other. Thus, when applying for a loan, spouses are required to notify their creditors about the marriage and the existence of a marriage contract. And also about any changes in the clauses of the marriage contract.
The creditor (creditors) of the debtor spouse has the right to demand changes in the terms or termination of the agreement concluded between them due to significantly changed circumstances in the manner established by Articles 451 - 453 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
Clause 2 of Article 46 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation
MARITAL CONTRACT AND OBLIGATIONS OF SPOUSES
The obligations of the spouses within the framework of the marriage contract are regulated by both the Civil Code and the Family Code. Article 256 of the Civil Code establishes that a spouse is liable for obligations only with his property and his share in the common property. The Family Code has a special rule regarding liability in this regard. It establishes that if there is insufficient personal property, the creditor may demand to allocate the share that the spouse would receive in the event of a divorce, and then foreclose on it.
It is also possible to foreclose on the common property of the spouses if the obligations are common. But only if it is proven in court that the property received from the creditor, including money, went to the needs of the family. In conditions when this property is not enough, the recovery will be directed to the personal property of each of them.
Let's look at an example: Elena took out a million rubles on credit; her husband Vladimir was neither a guarantor nor a co-borrower. She couldn't pay off the loan. As a general rule, she would answer to the bank herself. But in court it was established that the money was spent on renovations in a shared apartment. Because of this, the bank managed to foreclose on the car that belonged to Vladimir and Elena.
Important! The Family Code requires informing the spouse about the fact of concluding a marriage contract. Otherwise, you will have to answer for your obligations as if there was no marriage contract. The legislator provided for this obligation in order to protect the interests of the creditor from the debtor concealing his property.
Note that the bailiff cannot, on his own initiative, foreclose on the property due to the fact that the creditor was not notified of the fact of its conclusion. To do this, the creditor will have to go to court with a request to invalidate the contract in whole or in part. Moreover, the creditor will have to prove the absence of notification.
Civil marriage (cohabitation)
In people, most often in everyday life, the concept of “civil marriage” refers to actual family relationships (cohabitation, housekeeping, mutual support, etc.) between men and women without official registration (registration in the registry office). In another way, such a relationship between a man and a woman is called cohabitation, less often - actual marriage or marriage without registration. Any of these named definitions has the right to exist, since it denotes a permanent relationship between a man and a woman, although without registering it through the registry office.
In judicial practice, most often citizens who lived together and ran a common household are called “cohabitants” (decision of the Nazarovsky City Court of the Krasnoyarsk Territory dated May 19, 2015 in case No. 2-2481/2014).
In recent years, in our country the number of cohabitants has begun to increase, and among young people of the opposite sex it has even become fashionable to live together without registering a marriage at the registry office.
1. WHAT IS A MARRIAGE CONTRACT, WHAT DOES IT GOVERN?
The Family Code of the Russian Federation reveals the essence of this agreement as follows: a marriage contract is an agreement by which spouses determine their property rights and obligations, not only in marriage, but also in case of divorce. Here it is worth paying attention to the word property. We know from American films that in the USA a marriage contract allows you to regulate any relationship between husband and wife, up to the fulfillment of marital duty. In the Russian legal order, they can only resolve issues related to property, period. All other provisions are void, that is, without force.
In this regard, you can often see the question - is it possible to deprive a spouse of property for adultery?
The answer to this question is negative. Firstly, the law does not oblige a wife or husband to be faithful to their spouse, nor does it define the concept of infidelity. Secondly, as mentioned above, a marriage contract regulates only property relations. They cannot resolve issues of fidelity and responsibility for its absence.
Case study: 13 years after the wedding, in 2001, the couple turned to a notary to conclude a marriage contract. In it they provided that the husband would lose everything acquired during the marriage if the marriage broke up due to his infidelity, hooliganism or drunkenness. If the husband abandoned the family, then he also could not lay claim to the property. After almost 20 years, the couple divorced. Relying on the contract, the wife tried to leave her ex-husband without property. However, all authorities, including the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, sided with him. Thus, the Supreme Court determined that a marriage contract cannot contain conditions that would run counter to the basic principles of family law.
It is also impossible to include liability for infidelity or any other immoral behavior in the contract. Spouses have the right to establish the obligation of one spouse to transfer or pay something to the other spouse. But this cannot be linked to human behavior, since the contract regulates only property relations.
It should also be noted that such a rule would be contrary to the Constitution, which guarantees that private life, as well as personal and family secrets, are inviolable. The Constitution does not make exceptions for marriage. Liability for treason, as well as establishing the fact itself in court, would violate these provisions. Spouses have the right to lead a disgraceful, but legal way of life. And responsibility in any form, even for such an immoral act as treason, would be illegal, since it violates the constitutional rights of a citizen.
However, the law allows for the establishment of a penalty or other sanction for the actions of the spouse. But these actions must be related to property relations.
Let's look at an example: Sergey and Anastasia entered into an agreement, in which they provided for a penalty for refusing to transfer an apartment after a divorce, which is registered in the husband's name. If the husband, after dividing the property, delays transferring the right to the apartment, he will have to pay the penalty provided for in the contract for each day of delay.
Important! A penalty or fine can be demanded only when the action or inaction is related to the property of the spouse. That is, it is impossible to demand a penalty for refusal to transfer common property.
The Family Code of the Russian Federation gives a lot of scope for spouses. Thus, they have the right to deviate from the equality of shares, which is established by default by law. Spouses have the right to determine each other's shares in property, make it joint, and determine who owns what. Moreover, this is possible both with property as a whole, and with its certain types, as well as with individual objects. For example, it can be established that ¾ of the total property belongs to the wife, that the apartment will go to the husband, and the dacha to the wife, and so on.
Also, spouses can, using a prenuptial agreement, agree on who will bear what expenses during the marriage, as well as the maintenance of the ex-spouse after its dissolution. Here you should pay attention to the fact that it is impossible to deprive a disabled spouse, including a former spouse, of his legal maintenance.
It is also important that the law allows you to determine who and what will belong to the potentially acquired property. What does it mean? For example, the contract can indicate that real estate that was acquired during marriage or even during a certain period will belong to the wife. This is acceptable.
1.1 IS IT POSSIBLE TO INCLUDE PRE-MARITAL PROPERTY IN THE AGREEMENT?
The law does not prohibit doing this. Moreover, the courts refuse to satisfy the claims of spouses who challenge the marriage contract for this reason. The main reason for this is the freedom of contract that extends to family law. And since the law does not prohibit including such a condition, the parties are free to do so. In the article “On the division of property in the presence of children,” we examined a case in which the ex-spouse wanted to challenge the division agreement due to the fact that it included a condition on the division of his apartment received before marriage. The court refused and declared the agreement valid. The same applies to marriage contracts.
1.2 IS IT POSSIBLE TO PROVIDE FOR TRANSACTIONS IN THE AGREEMENT?
Yes, but with reservations. Transactions can be concluded with the property that is the property of each spouse. For example, the husband will receive his wife's premarital house, and she will receive compensation.
Let's look at another situation: a husband and wife have established that everything purchased or received during marriage belongs to the person to whom it is registered. But after a year, the wife is obliged to give her husband the car that belongs to her. The husband, in turn, will pay her compensation for this. What difficulties might arise? If you have not changed the ownership regime, then everything acquired is joint. This means you won’t be able to conclude transactions with this property between yourselves so easily.
Example: Andrei and Ekaterina established that three years after they get married, the husband will give his wife an apartment, and in return she will give him a car. Moreover, both were acquired in marriage. Such a condition will be void, since both cars and real estate are common property, that is, they belong to both Ekaterina and Andrey at the same time.
However, if you provide for transactions in the marriage contract, then another problem arises. Do I need to pay tax on them? Let us turn to Article 208 of the Tax Code, which tells us that transactions between family members are not taxed. An exception is contracts that can be classified as civil or labor. As a general rule, the marriage contract has nothing to do with them. But if it contains conditions that are recognized as compensatory, then they can be taxed. And an agreement that assumes that the spouse, having entered into a marriage, will transfer ownership of any property to the other, for which he will receive compensation in return, can be recognized as compensated.
Important! In this case, tax will be imposed only on such income that was received due to the fact that the compensation is greatly disproportionate to what the property is actually worth. The tax office will have to prove this.
Nevertheless, we consider the occurrence of such a situation to be unlikely. This is due to several reasons.
Firstly, initially such a transaction will be a normal settlement of relations between spouses. The tax authorities will have to try very hard to interpret the marriage contract in this way, even taking into account the sympathy of the courts for the Federal Tax Service.
Secondly, this case is, in principle, a rarity in practice, since tax authorities are focused on finding arrears from businesses and do not monitor marriage contracts and small transactions between citizens. The risk becomes significant only if the agreement is concluded before the divorce or if the spouses divide extremely expensive property, for example, luxury real estate, several apartments, shares in a medium and large business.
1.3 Is it possible to include provisions regarding children in a marriage contract?
Questions about who the children will stay with in the event of a divorce, who should spend time with them and how much time are the subject of other agreements. Fortunately, children are not property and therefore no provisions regarding them can be included in a marriage contract in Russia.
What is it for?
First of all, registration of marriage allows you to fully consolidate the relationship between two people.
From the moment property relations arise, spouses will have rights, obligations, as well as common interests protected by law.
It is easier for an official family to receive payments for children. In addition, it will be easier for a married person to get a suitable job, because today the company administration is increasingly paying attention to the personal life of the candidate for the position.
It will be easier for a citizen living in a legal marriage to apply for a loan from a bank. After all, the financial institution also takes into account the marital status of the potential borrower.
Finally, you can avoid unnecessary problems when enrolling your child in kindergarten, school, as well as registering him with a clinic at your place of residence.
