Marriage registration in Thailand

Marriage in Thailand is governed by the Civil and Commercial Code book 5, sections 1435 to 1535. A marriage (section 1457) can take place only if the man and woman (who are at least 18 years old) agree to take each other as husband and wife, and such agreement must be declared publicly before the Registrar in order to have it recorded by the Registrar. Marriage in Thailand is created and completed on formal registration and inclusion in the government's marriage register.

Prenuptial Agreement in Thailand (Thai–English)

Under Thai marriage and family law, personal property everything owned (and owed) before the marriage remains each spouse’s personal property during marriage (see Section 1471 of the Civil and Commercial Code; สินส่วนตัว vs. สินสมรส). A prenuptial agreement (สัญญาก่อนสมรส) commonly lists each party’s personal assets and may grant sole management over specified marital assets to one spouse during the marriage, helping reduce disputes and protect pre-marital wealth.
