Marriage in case of life-threatening illness (emergency marriage)
-
Partnerschaft und Familie
Procedure
In the case of an acute life-threatening illness, a civil marriage can, under certain conditions, be performed at very short notice with little formal effort, regardless of opening hours, even outside the registry office, for example in a hospital or at home.
We are responsible if the wedding location is within our city limits. However, the registration of your marriage must still take place at the registry office of your place of residence.
