  +You can only get a Christian marriage if you and your partner are both non-Muslim.
   
   At the Notary Department of [Kuwait Ministry of Justice](https://www.moj.gov.kw/en/Pages/default.aspx), you’ll need to provide either:
   
  -- a CNI issued in the UK
  +- a certificate of no impediment (CNI) issued in the UK
   - a ’singleness certificate’ issued by the church you’re getting married at in Kuwait
   
   Check with the Kuwait Ministry of Justice if any other documents are needed.
  
positive.code: 
  You do not need a certificate of no impediment (CNI).
  
  ###If you are a Muslim woman
  
  You cannot marry a non-Muslim man.
  
  If your father is in Kuwait, you do not need a certificate of no impediment (CNI).
  
  If your father is not in Kuwait, you’ll need his written consent. If you cannot get written consent you’ll need:
  
  - written consent from a deputy - this could be someone [appointed as his attorney](/lasting-power-attorney-duties) or a judge in Kuwait
  - your father’s death certificate if he is deceased
  
  You may be able to use a certificate of no impediment (CNI) issued and legalised in the UK. Check with the [Kuwait Ministry of Justice](https://www.moj.gov.kw/en/Pages/default.aspx) to see if it can be used in place of written consent.
  
  You need to get your written consent and CNI translated into Arabic. You also need to get them ‘legalised’ by:
  
  - the [Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO)](/get-document-legalised)
  - the Kuwait Embassy in London
