Both professional people, both over 21 and happened to fall in love. I'm a UK national and she is living and working in Kuala Lumpur. Due to being Iranian she can't get a visa for many countries but she and I can both get to Turkey without visa's. So, will Turkish authorities allow us to marry if we have all the correct docs?

No, under islamic law a non muslim man cannot marry a muslim woman, while a non muslim woman can marry a muslim man. You can get married in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, or in any non-muslim country, but the marriage would not be recognised in Iran & Malaysia (and all muslim countries). cause she's not allowed to marry a non-muslim guy. If you really love her, you need to convert into muslim so that you can marry her in Turkey and the marriage would be valid in her home country. If her family doesnt approve the marriage (most likely), you both can land into big trouble and she knows it. if you really really love her, you must be prepared to fight for her. With all respect, it is clearly obvious that iamx has never lived in an Islamic nation and doesnt know anything about Islamic culture. Turkey is 98% muslim Turkish authorities would not perform a civil ceremony between a muslim woman and a non-muslim man as it is forbidden in Islam., even in iamx' link, it is mentioned that: 'Turkish officials cannot perform a marriage that would not be approved in your own country. If your own country's laws prohibit you from marrying, you will not be able to obtain from authorities of your own country the documents that are required by Turkish marriage law.' Iran is an Islamic nation, they'll not authorise her to marry a non-muslim person, unless you convert to Islam.
