Do foreigners have the right to establish marriage in Turkey
Yes, foreigners are allowed within the legal conditions and procedures for marriage in Turkey to organize the marriage contract, whether one of the spouses is a foreigner or both.
If one of the spouses is of Turkish origin or holds Turkish citizenship and the other is a foreigner, or the spouses are of two different foreign nationalities, the Turkish authorities only recognize the marriage contract concluded and existing in the civil court in Turkey.
If the spouses are of the same nationality and the same country, the Turkish authorities recognize the contracts certified by the embassy or consulate of the country to which they belong, and marriage in Turkey can be established in the civil court.

The ability to marry in Turkey is measured by two factors: age and mind
Married couples should possess sufficient mental and cognitive ability to make a decision such as the decision to marry. Mental illnesses are considered an impediment to the establishment of marriage in Turkey, unless the person with a health impairment, disease, or person with special needs obtains a health report from the hospital indicating his eligibility and ability to marry.
For ages in Turkey, the minimum age for marriage in Turkey is 18, and there is an exception for those who reach the age of 16, provided that one or both parents are present and signed, and this exception is regulated in the municipality and with witnesses.
As for the marriage of those under the age of 16, it is not permissible in Turkey and is considered in violation of Turkish laws, even if the parents agree. In such a case, the Turkish authorities usually separate the spouses, imprison the husband and the wife’s guardian and fine them a sum of money.
Freedom from certain diseases
Mental illnesses: such as insanity, epilepsy, hysteria and other related diseases
Genetic diseases, which are found especially among relatives
Chronic diseases such as AIDS or hepatitis C

One of the conditions of marriage in Turkey is the absence of an existing marriage. The law in Turkey does not allow the organization of a second marriage contract unless the first contract between the spouses is terminated, or in other words “the law in Turkey does not allow polygamy”
A condition for allowing the wife to remarry is that 300 days (9 months) have passed since the termination of the first contract (divorce).
The spouses should not be close in a way that prevents marriage. In Turkey, the following types of marriage are prohibited:

A copy of the passport, translated and certified by the Notary in Turkey, the “Notary Clerk” and can act on behalf of the passport with a temporary residence card for Syrians in Turkey.
