Canadian Marriage Policy

Hi Cat

My understanding of Canadian law requires a license. Simply signing a contract with two witnesses will not get a recognized marriage in Canada.

Simply signing a piece of paper and have people watch you do it does not constitute a marriage.

The greater concern I have here is that you are on this forum asking us for input. Cat, if you have to come onto the internet and ask, then something is definately wrong.

Your man is making a very bizarre request and as a guy I can tell you he is certainly up to no good. Even Islamic marriages require a religious official to be present.

Trust your instincts.
