Getting married at the Montreal Palais de Justice is one way that you can celebrate your civil marriage. There are many differences between a civil marriage celebrated by a notary, and especially by Mtre Mona Salehi, Notary and Civil Marriage Officiant in Montreal, and a civil marriage celebrated by a court clerk at the Montreal Palais de Justice. It is important to carefully assess the options and benefits in order to make an informed choice.

A civil marriage with a notary officiant entitles you to legal explanations

During a consultation, the notary will explain to you the different elements of the law relating to civil marriage:

• the different matrimonial regimes,
• the concept of family patrimony,
• the legal implications of marriage,
• the possibility of writing a marriage contract,

The court clerk at the Palais de Justice is not a legal adviser. He does not have the right to give legal advice.

At the Palais de Justice, the ceremony cannot be personalized. This means that the court clerk will read articles 392 to 396 of the Quebec Civil Code then receive the consent of the future spouses. The marriage ceremony will take place in the court room provided for this purpose.
