Ethiopia definitely has marriage courts (or registrars) for civil weddings.

The US embassy in Addis only can give you a letter from Consular officer issues a free to marry document for a U.S. Citizen or a legal permanent resident. Then the Ethiopian Ministry of Foreign Affairs should authenticate the document so that the local municipality office accepts the free to marry document. call: 215-11-1562394 Application form for marriage certificate
