Proxy Marriage

We assisted in an exceptional proxy marriage between a Russian citizen and a Spanish citizen who, due to personal, migratory and geopolitical circumstances, could not marry in person through the ordinary channels.

The solution required a carefully structured power of attorney, enabling the marriage to be validly celebrated in Spain despite the physical absence of one of the parties. In this case, the lawyer appeared on behalf of the absent spouse, ensuring that the process was properly documented, coordinated and legally effective.

Although the mechanism was unusual, the matter was deeply human: helping two people overcome legal and practical barriers in order to build a life together.
