In China's legal system, although freedom of marriage is advocated, not everyone has the conditions to get married. According to the laws and regulations of our country, the following categories of people are not eligible for marriage:
1. A person who already has a marital relationship with a third party and the marital relationship has not been terminated. In this case, if one marries again, it will constitute the crime of bigamy.
2. People who have not reached the legal age for marriage, that is, men before the age of 22 and women before the age of 20, cannot get married.
Marriage with relatives who have direct blood relatives or collateral blood relatives within three generations, i.e. consanguineous marriage, is also not allowed. This violates the principle of eugenics advocated by our country.

The establishment of a marriage relationship has three basic legal characteristics:
The subject of marriage is a man and a woman. Marriage is formed based on the physiological differences between men and women, and people of the same gender cannot marry each other.
2. Marriage is a legal act. Both parties applying for marriage must comply with the provisions of the law and fulfill the marriage registration procedures stipulated by the law. Otherwise, the marriage relationship will not have legal consequences, that is, an invalid marriage that is not protected by law.
The legal consequence of marriage is to establish the marital relationship between both parties and assume the responsibilities, rights, and obligations arising therefrom.
This established marital relationship, without legal procedures, no unit, individual or couple has the right to terminate the marital relationship.
