Marriage

[rapses]

I had arrived in Finland three months back and I am planning to marry my Chinese girlfriend, but do not know ho marriage is solemnized here. I am a Hindu and my girlfriend is a Buddhist. Please advise.

why don't you visit magistrate office and ask these things....i did mine 8 years ago in Helsinki at bulevardi street(maistraati), i'm british but not christian and my (soon to be ex) is a a mixture of a finn and other and hes Budha too,..we had a civil service for our marriage....,,,go and ask or check from internet if they happen to have any info in english.....
other option, go to Chinese embassy or your own embassy(if there is) and ask more...
all the best,

Helsinki Maistraatti is at 25A Albertinkatu, http://www.maistraatti.fi there is some info in english.
I don't think it matters what religion you are to have a civil marriage at the maistraatti, but you must both have a (Certificate of no impediment) from your embassy, this is to show that you are not already married and it must be validated before you can get married.
Also are you resident here!
The maistraatti can help you more.
