Hola Amigos!

I am currently in a 9-year relationship with a Spanish Citizen here in the Philippines and we have just recently (yesterday) decided to make things legal (hopefully).... and we are planning to do it NOT here in the Philippines (we do not want the controversies and in the mean time we would like it to be a secret marriage). We are thinking of doing it in a Spanish Consulate in a neighboring country (maybe Hong Kong) and YOUR INPUT, COMMENTS, SUGGESTIONS are very much welcome for we do not know how to go about this (we have never been both married before). We would like to know the steps, complications, etc. of this same-sex union between a Filipino and a Spanish citizen inside a Spanish Consulate in another country. Will our marriage be legal and recognized, etc.?

YOUR COMMENTS PLEASE

Will our marriage be legal and recognized, etc.?

your marriage is legal in the european union at least.

questions arose about the legal status of marriage to non-Spaniards whose country did not permit same-sex marriage. A ruling from the Justice Ministry stated that the country’s same-sex marriage law allows a Spanish citizen to marry a non-Spaniard regardless of whether that person’s homeland recognizes the partnership.At least one partner must be a Spanish citizen in order to marry, although two non-Spaniards may marry if they both have legal residence in Spain.
