As an American, I would think the LAST think the UK needs is another foreigner. Aren't Moroccans Muslim??
If so, your kids will be his property just like you. Ask any NON-Muslim woman married to a Muslim man. He takes the kids back to his homeland and you never see them again.
There are books written and movies made depicting the horrors. Think twice and beware.

Wow, what a load of questions!
For marriage in Morocco, check with the Moroccan embassy.
A marriage which is legal in the country it is performed in is considered legal in the UK.
The marriage, though valid, does not in itself guarantee any right of the non-Brit to come to the UK; he would need to apply for a visa, which will only be granted if you can show that he will not need benefits and that you have suitable accommodation.
British citzenship would normally take three years; there a various legal hoops to jump through, and lots of fees.
Once he is here on a visa, he will be free to travel back and forth on his Moroccan passport, but to qualify for permanent stay he must not spend too long outside the country.
Living in Morocco may be different in lots of ways from living here, you really need to find out lots about the culture before making this decision. However, you will remain a UK citizen, free to travel to the UK, and to be assisted by the UK embassy in Marocco if necessary.
Any child cold accompany you to morocco as soon as they are fit to fly. If born in the UK they would automatically be a UK citizen; if born abroad, you should still be able to obtain UK citizenship; they may also be entitled to Moroccan citizenship, but this depends on the laws in Morocco around dual nationality, again check with their embassy.
His mother could apply for a visitor visa like any other Moroccan national, she would need to show that she intended to return rather than to stay. As long as the documentation is in order, such an application should be straightforward in my opinion.
Visa fees are steep - fiance visa/further leave to remain/indefinite leave to remain/life in the UK test/naturalisation - at least 2000 pounds.
I suggest you spend a good bit of time reading up on this, do not make any hasty decisions. Take advice from the CAB or a solicitor. If he is genuine (to be honest, even if he isn't) he will not mind waiting.
Cross-cultural marriages CAN be happy and successful, but generally require a lot of work. Be sure it's what you want.
Good luck!

Please listen.The past performance of foreigners in particular Morrocan men marrying an english girl have a terrible track record.I doubt you ever be given a Visa and if so it would take years rather than months.The biggest problem for you is the Cultures and they will never compromise on them.It is also usual that children are kept with the father and raised as a Muslim.Your future Mother in law could visit you on a Tourist visa only.Your judgement is being blinded by this man and his claims Please dont listen and if you do continue then give it a further 6 months and see how he feels then.You wont like my words but they are true.

OK this might hurt but listen tell him you are going to Morocco to live with him. If he refuses he doesnt love you and just wants to come to UK

How long have you known him I wonder. A lot of these guys are after only an entry visa into the UK. If the marriage breaks up, you could find yourself without your children, happens loads of times. Be careful. Hopefully he will be one of the genuine good guys.

Please don't take this the wrong way....................but surely you have gone into this already, if you intend marrying a foreigner these are the first things one goes into before even arranging the wedding.
Correct paper work is essential, go to the appropriate offices ask how long the ceremonies are...........then contact the British Embassy for details of moving - family visiting etc.,

with 'due' respect, people like you really! shouldn't be out on your own. have you a carer you can contact who could perhaps have you picked up and brought home? i think its disgrace full the way they kick you out of institutions with no after care letting you wander off to morocco with no one there to make sure you don't do anything stupid. have you taken your medication?
