1. The subjects of marriage are men and women. A union that is not based on the physiological differences between a man and a woman does not constitute marriage. People of the same gender cannot marry each other.
2. The act of marriage is a legal act. Both parties applying for marriage must abide by the provisions of the law and go through the marriage registration procedures prescribed by law. Otherwise, the marital relationship will not have legal consequences. That is to say, an invalid marriage not protected by law must meet the substantive and formal requirements stipulated in the "Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China"; otherwise, it does not have the effect of a legal marriage.
The legal consequence of the act of marriage is to establish the marital relationship between the two parties. And assume the responsibilities, rights and obligations arising therefrom. This established marital relationship has no right for any unit, individual or couple to dissolve it without going through legal procedures.
4. The essential conditions for marriage are as follows: First, both the man and the woman must be completely willing. Second, they must reach the legal age. Third, they must comply with the monogamous system.
5. Prohibitive conditions for marriage: First, it is prohibited for direct blood relatives to marry collateral blood relatives within three generations. Second, people suffering from diseases that are considered by medical science as unsuitable for marriage are prohibited from getting married.
The "Regulations on Marriage Registration" promulgated and implemented in 1994 specifically stipulated the methods for handling marriage registration. Article 5 of the Regulations stipulates that "The marriage registration administration authority in cities shall be a sub-district office or a district of the city, or a city not divided into districts;" In rural areas, it refers to the people's governments of townships, ethnic townships and towns. The jurisdiction of marriage registration shall, in principle, be in line with the scope of household registration management.
