Yes they are according to the palace announcement
I think the "blessing" mentioned here is because the King didn"'t attend and of cours he wanted to show his support and belessing.
I am still a little confused. Is this the difference between the Nikkah and the 'other ceremony'? When are they officially considered husband and wife (would it be morally approved for them if the bride gets pregnant before the next ceremony)?
They are married they tued the knot in small family party and wedding for later.
Sorry i confuse you
The reason it is confusing is that you keep referring to 'a wedding' at a later date - which to me suggests 'another ceremony'. The wedding in my context takes place at the same time that the marriage starts... but apparently, in the Moroccan tradition it is to be distinguished from the ceremony that took place 2 days ago.
Now you the one confusing me
Whos talking about other ceremonies?
I thought that the word "tied the knot" is clear that mean they are officially married and the statement also is clear when they mentioned the "Conclusion of Marriage Certificate" meaning both bride and groom signed the marriage act/contract.
We don't use the Nikkah term in Morocco we call it عقد القران meaning as the palace statement traslates it "the Conclusion of Marriage Certificate"..it's ceremony Precedes the wedding that make legaly the bride and groom wife and husband and can do whatever they like even starting making babies if they like although most of the times the tradition is to wait until after the wedding
Yes, thanks! That indeed helps. So they did WED on Sunday but will have their wedding party at a later date. Not unlike some other couples that decide to have a civil wedding at one date and a celebration at a different date (although in most cases that would be tied to the religious wedding; so an additional formal ceremony) - for example, it seems that prince Philippos and Nina will go that route (although in their case it seems that she is only considered a princess after the religious ceremony takes place as well).
Ok now i see where your confusion come from and i am sorry i added more to it.
The wedding in Morocco is the big celebration the big day is you want to call it that way but it's not he same as the Conclusion of Marriage Certificate , the later is more of small affaire but its the legal part of the union. The couple can live together o wait their wedding it's their choice.
If they go separate way they need to get a divorce before the wedding
I know it may look confusing as Morocco have his unic traditions but you can look it that way: the wedding is just a celebration of Conclusion of Marriage Certificate,to be married in Morooc ppl can have the Conclusion of Marriage Certificate without a weeding but they can't have wedding without Conclusion of Marriage Certificate
I hope that help
