A Jordanian man wed his Ukranian fiancee in Romania on Friday so he could bring her to his home country, after they fled fighting in Kyiv.
The couple married at the Jordanian embassy in Bucharest, witnessed by Sufyan Qudah, Jordan’s ambassador to Romania, Bulgaria and Moldova who made the announcement.
“Today, our embassy facilitated the procedures for the first marriage of a Jordanian who came from Ukraine with his Ukrainian fiancée,” Mr Qudah said on Twitter.
“The marriage was concluded under the supervision of the embassy at one of the Islamic associations in Bucharest,” he said.
Jordan has also been facilitating the safe passage of hundreds of its citizens stranded in Ukraine since the war started.
Diplomatic means have been used to ensure the transit and entry procedures for 718 Jordanian citizens at the border crossing between Ukraine, Romania, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Moldova.
"Our citizens have been provided with all forms of assistance and support to ensure their safety and to secure their needs to facilitate their return to the Kingdom of Jordan," said the country's foreign ministry in a statement.
The ministry said that 232 citizens have arrived in the Kingdom from Ukraine via Budapest, Bucharest and Warsaw.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has so far resulted in more than 1.2 million refugees fleeing over the borders into neighbouring countries, according to the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR).
The assault is the biggest attack on a European country since the Second World War.

Why your domicile status is important
Your UK residence status is assessed using the statutory residence test. While your residence status – ie where you live - is assessed every year, your domicile status is assessed over your lifetime.
Your domicile of origin generally comes from your parents and if your parents were not married, then it is decided by your father. Your domicile is generally the country your father considered his permanent home when you were born.
UK residents who have their permanent home ("domicile") outside the UK may not have to pay UK tax on foreign income. For example, they do not pay tax on foreign income or gains if they are less than £2,000 in the tax year and do not transfer that gain to a UK bank account.
A UK-domiciled person, however, is liable for UK tax on their worldwide income and gains when they are resident in the UK.
