Marriage in Cyprus

Marriage in Cyprus is allowed for both Cyprus citizens and foreigners. It may be performed by civil or religious authorities. Around 20,000 Israelis marry in Cyprus annually, many of them seeking to avoid restrictions on marriage in Israel.

For Lebanese inter-religious couples, a secular civil marriage in Cyprus is an option that allows both partners to retain their respective religions, while circumventing religious and sectarian laws and social norms in Lebanon.
