Generally, Turkish law allows marriage only between a male and a female, and does not allow polygamy, as marriage in Turkey is based on civil law (what so-called 'the civil marriage').
Moreover, Turkish law does not allow the marriage of minors, i.e., those under the age of seventeen, and for those at the age of seventeen years, they are not allowed to marry unless the parents or guardian consent.
On another hand, marriage is allowed for those over the age of eighteen without the consent of the parents.
As for the papers required to complete the marriage process, we will review them as follow:
