Bordeaux and the surrounding area
Bordeaux has grown considerably in twenty years, and its Muslim community with it: the high-speed line put Paris two hours away and drew a young, qualified population. The search area covers Mérignac, Pessac, Talence, Bègles and the wider metropolitan area. Compared with Marseille or Lille, the community here is more recent and more dispersed: fewer profiles, but shorter internal distances, with the whole conurbation crossable in half an hour.
Nikah and civil marriage: the order to follow in France
In France the religious ceremony may not precede the civil marriage: that is article 433-21 of the penal code, and it applies to every faith without distinction. In practice, the file is lodged at the town hall where one of the two intended spouses lives, the banns are published, and the civil ceremony takes place. Only then does the imam perform the nikah, and most will ask to see the civil marriage certificate first. A nikah on its own confers no rights: no inheritance, no survivor's pension, no protection in the event of separation. Many couples are unaware of this and find out too late.
Frequently asked questions
- Where do I lodge the file in the Bordeaux area?
- At the town hall of Bordeaux, Mérignac, Pessac, Talence or Bègles depending on where you live. The conurbation can be crossed in half an hour, which makes the administrative trips straightforward.
- Does the community's youth change customs?
- It makes configurations more varied: many Bordeaux members arrived for study or work while their family lives elsewhere. Introductions are often made remotely before being made in person.
- Should we plan to travel for the nikah?
- Often yes, when one family lives in the Maghreb or in another region. With Paris two hours away by high-speed train, many families meet halfway.
