It is not prohibited for a Foreign National to marry an Algerian National even if they are serving in the Military.
I am of the same opinion as Bent Bladi; I do not fully understand your predicament/circumstance to be able to offer any further advice. To make things a little clearer where you do currently reside, where is your “boyfriend” based, do you both cohabit as a couple?

Hi there, I am from eastern Europe currently studying in the UK. I met my boyfriend here where he was studying in aviation school, this year he went back to Algeria, before he came here he signed the contract with military for a number of years, the military paid also his education and all the expenses. I went there this summer to visit him, while we were staying in the hotel, after 4 days somebody from military came in the night, took my boyfriend i dont know where and kept him whole night asking questions, following morning i had to fly home even I supposed to fly in another 10 days. My boyfriend is based in Algeria in ***********. I would like to know if there is even small chance to fight for me and him to be together. thank u so much for ur interest. It mens a lot to me as I am getting really upset about the whole system and not being able to see him. Petra

Ok this is quite confusing.......................................

Have you spoken to your “boyfriend” since he was taken by the “military”? Have you spoken to your “boyfriend” since you have returned to the UK? Are you still in regular contact? Do you know if your “boyfriend” has been or *is* currently imprisoned by the Algerian Military? In Algeria absconding from Military duties is considered quite a serious offence as is the case in many other countries - including the UK. You mentioned you were forced to fly home even though your flight was not yet for another 10 days, was this due to you being deported from Algeria? Or was this through your own choice due to the situation?

You might not be aware but it is “illegal” in Algeria to stay in a hotel as a couple unless you are legally married, this usually only applies if one or both parties are Algerian citizens, they tend to turn a blind eye if both parties are of another nationality however there have been cases of hotels refusing non married couples the right to share a room.

It is not prohibited for an Algerian to marry whilst serving in the Military, nor is an Algerian National prohibited from marrying a non Algerian spouse. However reading between the lines your circumstances sound quite complicated, therefore I advise you answer my above questions before I can attempt to advise you further. You can also contact the Algerian Embassy in London.

Hi Mayissa, i know my writing is a bit confusing. Iam in the contact with my boyfriend still, we have booked in algeria two rooms of course. according to him, he cant marry non algerian girl while he is working in military service. and he will be working for them another 'X' years, cause he sighned contract before he came to england. I flu home earlier from algeria cause my boyfriends said so, cause they tried to scared him i guess if i will not leave than he will be in trouble. so i left. My boyfriend doesnt talk too much about his work and says is imopossible to marry me, even tho he would love to marry me. Iam scared to contact embassy in london as my boyfriend doesnt want me to talk to anybody about the situation as he thinks he will be in trouble and his family too. thank y so much for ur advices, petra.

Hi Petra

Your writing is not confusing; your situation is just a little unclear.

Firstly what is your long term aim? To marry and to reside with your “boyfriend” in Algeria or succeeding marriage do you both intend to reside in another country other than Algeria?

I am not qualified to advise the extensive foundations of Algerian Law, however I presume if one joins the Military signing a contract/agreement one is usually legally bound to this contract/agreement until it expires, unless an agreement can be reached discharging one from their duties. On the contrary I cannot imagine joining the Military prohibits one from marrying a Foreign National on the condition that the couple were to remain in Algeria to complete the previously agreed given term. Nevertheless there *maybe* a clause in his contract pertaining to National Security which he pre-agreed which *may* prohibit him marrying a Foreign National.

In my opinion it sounds a little far fetched.

I nonetheless would advise contacting the Algerian Embassy *anonymously* and seek further advise as regards to his *anonymous* situation. Maybe another member of A.com who lives in Algeria with more extensive knowledge of Military proceedure can advise, I will most certainly ask around. I know of a few in Algeria who have served in the Military, worked for Embassies whilst being married to a Foreign Citizen.

It is difficult to advise as it is unclear what you seek to achieve? Do you wish to live with him in Algeria? Or do you wish to live abroad? Each circumstance would entail a very different application and preparation.
