Montpellier and the surrounding area
Montpellier is a Mediterranean student city where the population turns over quickly. The catchment covers Lattes, Castelnau-le-Lez, Sète, Nîmes and stretches along the Languedoc coast. Its position makes it a crossing point: Marseille and Toulouse are both under two hours by train, Barcelona three. Several members have family on both sides of the Pyrenees, and the question of where to settle after marriage comes up earlier than elsewhere.
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.
