Regarding marriage, it is the first time for many people and they are somewhat hesitant. Everyone is serious about their wedding. Below, we select some questions that netizens are concerned about and the editor will answer them one by one.
1. What documents do I need to bring to get a marriage certificate?
According to the " Marriage Registration Work Standards ", "Mainland residents applying for marriage registration must submit their valid resident identity cards and household registration books." And the marital status on the household registration book should be consistent with the declaration of the parties.
2. I held a wedding and held a banquet in the village, but because I have not reached the legal age for marriage and have not obtained a marriage certificate, is it considered married?
does not count legally.
Marriage in the legal sense is a registered marriage, and you must obtain a marriage certificate. A wedding is only a "marriage" in the civil sense. If the marriage has not been registered and the certificate has not been registered, legally speaking, the two parties are still unmarried, do not constitute a husband and wife relationship, and cannot enjoy the personal and property rights and obligations that only husband and wife can enjoy.
3. I am a female. I haven’t graduated from high school yet. I dropped out of school and stayed at home. My parents forced me to go on a blind date. Is it illegal to marry me off?
Freedom of marriage is a right stipulated in the constitution. Marriage must be completely voluntary for both men and women. It is prohibited for either party to force the other party, and it is prohibited for any organization or individual to interfere.
It is illegal for parents to interfere with the freedom of marriage and force their children to marry.
4. The bridesmaids asked for red envelopes and refused to let anyone in. Because the groomsmen were relatively strong, they broke the hotel door. After negotiation, they had to pay several thousand dollars. Which party should pay the money?
The hotel is not a private place, and damaged items require equivalent compensation. When couples choose a hotel for their wedding ceremony, they must not damage hotel items and marry in a civilized manner. As for who should accompany the money, the groom can advance the payment first and negotiate later to avoid damaging the relationship between friends.
5. I like my good brother. Can we get married and get a certificate?
If the netizen who asked the question is a boy, he will definitely not be able to get a marriage certificate.
"Civil Code" stipulates that marriage should be between a man and a woman and formed on the basis of complete consent. Same-sex marriage is not currently supported by law, and the subjects registering marriage in our country are still limited to men and women.
6. My girlfriend is 17 years old and I am already 20. I am currently working and my income can support both of us. Can we get married?
Following the second question above, the Civil Code stipulates that the minimum age for marriage is, "A man must not be earlier than 22 years old, and a woman must not be earlier than 20 years old."
Only when you reach the legal age for marriage can you get a marriage certificate. Otherwise, it will only be a de facto marriage without legal support.
7. A colleague’s friend got married, and his friend’s friend went too far during the wedding ceremony and insulted the bridesmaid. Will this constitute a crime?
First of all, let me state that marriage trouble is not a reason for crime. If it involves rape, forced indecency, etc., it is not only suspected of illegality, but also constitutes a crime, and will be subject to corresponding criminal penalties.
8. My girlfriend and I have been in a long-distance relationship for three months. I love her very much and she and I both want to get married, but she says she can’t come back yet. Her best friend is in China. Can I ask her best friend to get the certificate on her behalf and on my behalf?
This is the first time I’ve heard of someone getting a marriage certificate on behalf of someone else, so I definitely can’t do it.
The man and woman who are getting married should go to the marriage registration office in person to apply for marriage registration. The two people getting married must go to the Civil Affairs Bureau in person to get the certificate.
In judicial practice, there are also special cases, such as one party who is physically inconvenient, cannot move, and cannot reach the scene. If you have clear awareness and can clearly make the decision to get married, you can issue an authorization and have your guardian collect the certificate on your behalf. In addition, other married people still need both parties to obtain the certificate in person.
My girlfriend from a foreign country wants to get married, but something happens and I can’t go back. When you hear this, it sounds like a pig-killing routine. You still have to be cautious. It's okay to talk about relationships, but you have to be careful when talking about money and be careful not to be deceived.
9. I am getting married, but the company does not grant me marriage leave. Is this legal?
is illegal. The company has no right not to grant marriage leave. Even remarried employees can enjoy marriage leave in accordance with the law.
Employees can apply for about three days of marriage leave within six months of marriage registration. When the company does not approve marriage leave, it can negotiate with the company's human resources administration or leadership to point out that employees are entitled to marriage leave in accordance with the law.
10. I met my girlfriend on a blind date. The wedding has already been held, but I haven’t received the certificate yet. On the day I received the certificate, I found out that my girlfriend was getting married for the second time, so I didn’t get the certificate. Can I ask the girl to return the bride price?
Interpretation of the Marriage and Family Section of the Civil Code (1) Article 5 stipulates that if a party requests the return of a betrothal gift paid in accordance with customs, the court shall support it if it is found to be in the following circumstances:
(1) The parties have not completed the marriage registration procedures;
(2) The parties have completed the marriage registration procedures but have not lived together;
(3) The payment was made before marriage and caused difficulties in the life of the payer. The situation of netizen
belongs to the first situation. The two parties have not completed the marriage registration procedures and can claim back the bride price according to the law.
