In accordancewith the national legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, even stateless persons and foreigncitizens who have confirmed their belonging to a foreign state are equally subject to protection in mattersof family and marriage with citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The application of the family lawof the Republic of Kazakhstan in the presence of foreign elements is impossible without reference andappeal to the norms of international treaties, especially in the context of p. 3st.4 of the Constitution statingthat the “...International treaties ratified by the Republic have priority over its laws”.

At the sametime, conceptually important is the fact of compliance with the requirements of the relevant norms ofthe CMF RK.Key words: Marriage, family, foreign element, registration, conflicts.
