There are also different situations to consider when taking marriage leave for remarriage:
Employees who remarry can enjoy paid marriage leave
Remarried workers, as long as their marriage is legal, are also protected by national laws, and their legal status is no different from that of first-time married workers. The Ministry of Labor and Social Security's "Reply on the Issue of Marriage Leave for Remarried Employees" clearly stipulates: "In accordance with the spirit of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China and the relevant national regulations on marriage and funeral leave for employees, the legal status of remarried individuals is the same as that of first-time married individuals. Employers should, in reference to relevant national regulations, grant remarried employees the same marriage leave benefits as first-time married employees." According to the original "Notice of the State Bureau of Labor and the Ministry of Finance on the Issue of Marriage and Funeral Leave and Travel Leave for Employees of State-owned Enterprises", the maximum marriage leave that can be enjoyed is three days. Therefore, employees who remarry can also enjoy paid marriage leave.
2. The age for remarriage has reached the standard for late marriage.
Article 1047 of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China stipulates: "The age of marriage shall not be earlier than 22 years old for men and 20 years old for women." The "Instructions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and The State Council on Further Improving Family Planning Work" states: "Delaying marriage by more than three years according to the legal age is considered late marriage, and women who give birth after the age of 24 are considered late childbearing."
In China, both remarriage and first-time marriage are entitled to marriage leave benefits. The marriage leave benefits are the same, with a maximum of three days, except for the issue of late marriage. However, if the age of remarriage reaches the standard for late marriage, the late marriage benefits cannot be enjoyed. Of course, this is also because the majority of people who remarry tend to be older. It would be unreasonable to consider them eligible for late marriage treatment just because they are older when remarrying.
