1. With the establishment of the principle of a socialist rule of law state and the development of a socialist market economy system, an increasing number of social and economic relationships require legal means for regulation. To this end, national legislative bodies have successively promulgated and implemented a series of important laws, while national administrative organs and judicial organs have issued a substantial number of administrative regulations, departmental rules, and judicial interpretations. China has also concluded or participated in many international conventions. Due to the wide range of categories, multiple levels, and large volume of these legal norms, as well as their frequent amendments, revisions, and abolitions, legal practitioners face numerous difficulties when searching for and applying the specific provisions of relevant laws and regulations. In light of this, we organized experts and scholars from the Supreme People's Court, relevant ministries and commissions of the State Council, and universities to compile this "Common Laws Decomposition and Application Integration Series." This series breaks away from the traditional listing format of legal compendia and adopts a classified compilation method. It takes commonly used laws as the core, decomposes and combines them into several specific legal issues based on the logical connections between legal provisions, andly arranges all relevant laws, regulations, departmental rules, judicial interpretations, and legislative explanations related to each issue. This allows readers to quickly and comprehensively find all specific provisions of laws related to a particular issue. In this way, the vast and complex legal provisions are organized into an interconnected, coherent, and conveniently applicable whole.
2. "Decomposition and Application Integration of the Marriage Law" takes the "Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China," the "Regulations on Marriage Registration," and the "Supreme People's Court's Interpretations of Several Issues Concerning the Application of the Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China" (I and II) as the backbone, and weaves in the specific provisions of relevant laws, regulations, and administrative rules as the warp, to create a comprehensive and systematic decomposition and application integration. The book is divided into five chapters—General Provisions of the Marriage Law, Marriage, Family Relations, Divorce, and Measures for Assistance and Legal Liability—covering 127 categories.
3. The relevant laws, regulations, and departmental rules included in this book are adopted in either full text or excerpts, depending on the specific circumstances. When multiple issues involve the same document (or the same legal provision), they are appropriately repeated for the sake of reducing the inconvenience of searching and flipping through pages. Documents that are not suitable for decomposition are arranged together with the more significant issues they concern, while less significant issues are referenced using the "See" method.
4. The arrangement of this book has been carefully designed to minimize repetition and facilitate easy reference. However, due to the limitations of the compilers, there may be various omissions in the book. We sincerely welcome readers to point out any errors or improvements.
