Saad Elias: Does the Council of Ministers decided on the issue of registration of civil marriage contracts concluded in Lebanon after he returned Interior Minister Nihat Hanged to scratch? Will pay in government and the political forces which declare their support for civil marriage and held on Lebanese territory towards the achievement of those contracts recording? 
things under the results of the Cabinet meeting, which some likening meeting of the Council of Ministers, which was held under the chairmanship of former President Elias Hrawi and approved civil marriage Optional two-thirds majority, against the opposition of Prime Minister Rafik Hariri day, which refused to sign the decree. 
However, the circumstances and attitudes differ between the nineties stage and this stage, as the Prime Minister Saad Hariri does not cling to oppose civil marriage, as did his father, not even that Hariri's son refused Fatwa Mufti former Sheikh Mohammed Rashid Qabbani which he said that «who supports civil marriage apostate and outside Islam». 
The minister was hanging close to Hariri refrain from recording contracts for civil marriages held in Lebanon, saying that Cyprus close sparked controversy in Lebanon, was a result of which the decision of the Minister of the Interior put the subject of a civil marriage in Lebanon and registered at the Ministry of the Interior to the Council of Ministers to take the appropriate decision in this regard. 
preceded this decision to invite the Minister of Interior owners civil marriage contracts to review the civil courts to consider the legality bit Tsgelha.oakd in a statement issued by the Information Office, that «with the principle of the optional civil marriage In Lebanon, however, in the absence of any legal text of a civilian force sponsored by the provisions of this marriage and sets out the procedures and mechanisms required documents and reference the good of his contract and bits, it currently can not be registered civil marriage contracts organization with notary in Lebanon, and it must enact a law for civil marriage Optional sponsors Affairs This marriage and its effects «The statement added« The decision 60's. T. Dated 03.13.1936, which is based on the other in a civil marriage contracts in Lebanon, allowed for the creation of the normal condition of the right communities to be recognized if the religious teachings and moral principles are not inconsistent with the public security nor with ethics, nor with the constitutions of states and the constitutions of communities .. Based on Article 15 of it, but it must in accordance with Article 16 of the same resolution, to submit to the government system has a religious principles summary or the literary and the organization that recognizes if necessary with this system and put in place a legislative decision ... and this is what did not get to date ». He concluded «that the best solution to the issue raised and represent very different national levels importance, must be handled by the House of Representatives a source of legislation in that«. 
What is surprising that in the Interior Ministry who refuses to register civil marriages to be held at the notaries on land Lebanese, with record contracts »Foreign« held abroad. 
«It is the repercussions of the Interior Minister's position is what director of the civic center of the National Initiative lawyer Talal al-Husseini about it« is not entitled to the Minister to cancel the decision former minister, Valwizeran Marwan Charbel and Nihad Hanged nonetheless the law exists ». He explained that «Minister Charbel as interior minister, sent detailed questions to a body of legislation and consulting on this subject, came the answer, which was registered on the basis of marriage Nidal Darwish and the immortality of sugar and four decades beyond contract. It turns out that is not the Ministry of Internal any validity to interfere with a marriage contract only formal hand, legal, and not of Hanged role only to employees ordering the commitment law, which has been recognized by the Ministry of Justice «. 
Nidal Darwish, who opened and his wife immortality sugary door civil marriage on the Lebanese territory, confirmed «that tied the knot and the other four contracts can not be canceled, it has become our outputs under Lebanese». He said «Hanged that refused to sign the existing contracts means beating flouting the most important principle in the Constitution, which is the principle of equality of all citizens».
