she will have to divorce. Their marriage is legal as long as they married "de civil" by the law. Alot of couples from mexico may say "mi esposo/esposa" (my husband or wife) and that they are married, when they are only living together. Make sure that they are actually married. If they are by the law in Mexico, they will need to divorse, otherwise they cannot think about getting their papers here.

I think people should be allowed to go to Canada and Mexico and get married if they want too.  ;)

yes, go where you and your wife can be together, wether that is in mexico city or on mars being together means more than fighting with a government and a people that don't really want you.

It is legal in at least some instances in every country except Chile, El Salvador, Malta, and the Vatican City. The site below has much more detailed information.

You should definetly marry him in the US.\n\nIf he is in the US legally you can file for a change of status while he is here (if you get married before his status expires).\nIf you need more time you can both go to Mexico and request from the embassy a K-1 fiancee visa, this allows him to come in the US. You must get married withing 90 days of his arrival in the US on a K-1 visa.\n\nIf you go and get married in Mexico, he needs to file for a perment residency at the local consulate which will take 6-15 months to process, during this time he can not come to the US.

You can become an ordained minister to performing legal US marriages on this website: http://www.ulc.org/ulc/ \nHowever you will want to check with your state and county to see if they are legal they aren't in all states.

Yes, in all provinces. And in Spain, and South Africa. \n\nThe Columbian Senate just considered and passed a bill, though it hasn't become law yet.\n\nMexico City is now recognizing same-sex domestic partnerships.\n\nIn the Netherlands, gay marriage has been legal for years.\n\nIn Israel, the Supreme Court ruled that the state  must recognized same-sex marriages solemnized in other countries, so that a couple married in Canada will also be considered married in Israel.\n\nIt's just America that doesn't get it.

If they truly love each other and plan to marry, she can file a petition for him as a fiance -- this will change his Visa status so that they may legally marry.  \n\nI'm not certain of all the legalities, but the Department of State website and the Homeland Security website, and related ones, can help you out.  You all need a good lawyer for the red tape.  \nhttp://www.uscis.gov/graphics/lawsregs/index.htm has information about the laws and regulations.

Yes.  In Mexico is possible.  Try the airport.

You can't get married legally in this country without a social security number and some form of government issued ID for the license.  So, in reality, a person who enters this country illegally wouldn't be able to get a marriage license and couldn't legally marry anyone to obtain citizenship.

I'm not sure if you mean a Mexican-style wedding, or a wedding that will take place in Mexico.  This website (http://www.disenonupcial.com/ ) is a Mexican wedding planning service (it’s in Spanish).  This website (http://www.bridalassn.com/yourarea.tmpl ) has a list of some of the wedding planners in certain areas – those in border states may be able to help you.  Not knowing your location, it’s harder to try and locate a specific person.  If you  aren’t looking for a person (though I assume you are), there are web resources for Mexican weddings and wedding traditions.  If you’re looking for someone in a specific location in Mexico, search for that place on the Internet.  The third link below is an example of something you  might find.  Good luck!

No. (and yes)   Common law marriage was abolished in California sometime around 1927.\n\n However, if people get married outside of California according to the laws where they are, and those laws include "common law" marriage, then that marriage (including a "common law" one), will be recognized in California should they move there.\n  \nAdditionally, when justice will be done, California courts will grant "putative spouse" status to a person, who in good faith, thought he or she was married, but the formalities were not done.  In a case I represented the "wife", she was a new immigrant from Vietnam (where marriages are not a governmental affair) and went through a Buddist wedding ceremony with her husband. Husband did not have them obtain a wedding license and somehow had the priest conducting the ceremony overlook that no license had been presented to him to sign.  Husband was killed in an auto accident and to prosecute the wrongful death case, I had to prove that she was a "putative spouse" who, under California law, can sue for the death of her husband.\n\nAlso, recently, California has institued "domestic partnerships" for persons unable to marry each other, which give the parties many of the rights spouses have, including rights to custody/visitation of children, child and partner support, and equal division of assets (and debts) acquired during the partnership.\n\nIf you really need them, I could look up the exact statutes.

As long as you are married, it is legal everywhere.
