How does marriage work in Syria?


How does marriage work in Syria? In Syria, marriage is a religious, not a civil institution. Muslim men are not permitted to marry any woman who doesn't belong to one of the monotheistic religions, and Muslim women aren't permitted to marry any non-Muslim man. Any child born out of a marriage considered null and void will not be legally recognised.
