Features: The title "Marriage Registration Management Regulations" was changed to "Marriage Registration Regulations," removing the word "management" to weaken the administrative nature of marriage registration and highlight its civil registration characteristics. In line with the amendment of the Marriage Law, provisions for remarriage registration, void marriages, and rescissable marriages were added. The procedures for marriage registration were standardized. The requirement for a unit to issue a marital status certificate for marriage registration was replaced with a self-declaration of being single. The agencies for rural residents to handle marriage registration were appropriately centralized, while the authority for handling foreign, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan marriages, as well as marriages involving overseas Chinese, was delegated.
To help all sectors of society better understand the legislative background, spirit, specific content, and relevant provisions of the new regulations, we organized the writing of this practical guide. Through the interpretation of the new regulations, we aim to enhance everyone's understanding of the administrative provisions, deepen their comprehension, and make their application more effortless. To meet the diverse needs of readers in understanding this regulation, we strive to combine theory with practice as much as possible, ensuring the content is as clear and accessible as possible.
