Rana and Rayan, Lebanese Civil Marriage Actvists

Rana on her balcony in Achriafieh, Beirut, Lebanon with her new husband Rayan. Both Civil Marriage Activists, they recently married in London civilly.
Rana said "civil marriage will be established in Lebanon for sure. It's the normal course of civil evolution, there's no way we're going backwards. More and more people are flying abroad to marry, the state are stamping so many papers to legalise the civil marriage papers done abroad. So they're either going to get tired, or they're going to wake up".
