Civil marriage in Jordan

My husband, Jordanian National, and I, German National, had a civil marriage in New York City.

Will Jordan recognize this marriage and will my husband be able to apply for his family book?

Dear,

Simply civil marriages are not legal in Jordan, therefore all the rights will not be granted like a family book.

However, this matter could be resolved by visiting any Jordanian Embassy. And they will provide you with needed documents to have a legal religion marriage so you could obtain all the Jordanian rights.
