  1. There are some standards for obtaining a marriage certificate in the Marriage Registration Regulations. If a mainland resident obtains a marriage certificate, both the man and the woman should go to the civil affairs bureau where one party's household registration is located for marriage registration. If a Chinese citizen marries a foreigner and marries in China, and if a mainland resident marries a Hong Kong resident, a Macao resident, a Taiwan resident, or an overseas Chinese in mainland China, both parties must register their marriage with the Civil Affairs Bureau of the place where the mainland resident's permanent residence is located.
  2. If a non local person applies for a marriage certificate in Shanghai, one condition must be met, which is that one of the male parties has a household registration in Shanghai. Only then can a non local person apply for a marriage certificate in Shanghai. If neither party has a Shanghai household registration, according to the Marriage Registration Regulations, the Shanghai marriage registration authority cannot handle marriage registration, and the staff will not handle the marriage certificate for you.

  (1) Article 6, Paragraph 1 of the Marriage Law stipulates that marriage is prohibited for "direct blood relatives and collateral blood relatives within three generations". Direct blood relatives refer to relatives who have a direct blood relationship. To give birth to oneself and the upper and lower blood relatives one gives birth to. Within three generations, collateral blood relatives refer to three generations of people who are not directly related by blood from grandparents or maternal grandparents. Men and women with direct blood relatives and collateral blood relatives within three generations are not allowed to marry, which is a problem that traditional Chinese ethics and morality cannot tolerate. However, medical science has proven that consanguineous marriage is extremely harmful to the reproduction of the race and the health and development of future generations. So, the law prohibits them from getting married.
  (2) According to Article 6, Paragraph 2 of the Marriage Law, marriage is prohibited for those who suffer from untreated leprosy or other diseases that are medically deemed unsuitable for marriage. Leprosy is a malignant infectious disease that seriously endangers people's health and life. People with leprosy who marry others can transmit the disease to them and pass it on to their offspring. Therefore, patients with untreated Ma Feng disease are prohibited from getting married. Here, "suffering from other diseases that are medically considered not to be married" refers to "venereal disease", mental illness, idiocy and other infectious diseases that need isolation treatment, as well as HIV patients that have appeared in China in recent years. These diseases seriously endanger human health. Therefore, it should also be prohibited for patients with such diseases to get married.
