If your fiance is in prison, he is a convicted felon. As a felon serving out his sentence, his civil rights are restricted. He does not have the right to liberty and freedom, for example. The State also does not allow an inmate to receive visitors who are on probation or parole.

When your fiance is released from prison, you may get married.
