German divorce when foreign religious divorce is not accepted
Many people living in Germany with origins in Lebanon, Iraq or Jordan
face the same problem:
➡️ marriage abroad
➡️ divorce abroad
➡️ Germany does not recognize it
Result:
👉 In Germany you are still considered married.
Why Germany refuses recognition
Typical reasons:
-
private talaq divorce
-
religious divorce only
-
no access to court for the wife
-
no judicial review
-
both spouses already lived in Germany
-
German family law should have been applied
-
missing choice of law
You will receive a negative certificate (Negativattest)
and must get divorced again in Germany.

I file the German divorce immediately – even before the decision of the German Higher Regional Court.
