China banned consanguineous marriage on September 10, 1980. The conditions that must be met to apply for a marriage certificate are:
Both men and women must fully voluntarily participate.
According to our country's regulations, marriage must be fully voluntary by both men and women, and neither party is allowed to force the other party or any third party to interfere. This regulation is the concretization of the principle of freedom of marriage and is a necessary and primary condition for marriage.
2. Must reach the legal age for marriage.
According to Chinese regulations, the age of marriage for men shall not be earlier than 22 years old, and for women shall not be earlier than 20 years old. The legal age of marriage refers to the minimum age for men and women to marry as stipulated by law. Both parties or one party below the legal marriage age shall not get married; Marriage is only allowed after reaching or exceeding the legal age for marriage.
3. Must comply with monogamy.
Applicants for marriage must be unmarried, widowed, or divorced individuals to avoid bigamy.
4. Do not have a blood relationship that prohibits marriage.

The process for obtaining a marriage certificate is as follows:
1. Jointly go to the marriage registration authority in the place where one party's permanent household registration is located to handle the marriage registration;
2. Submit registration materials;
3. The marriage registration authority shall review and inquire about relevant information.
4. If it is confirmed that the conditions are met, a marriage certificate will be issued on the spot.
Article 4 of the Marriage Registration Regulations stipulates that when mainland residents get married, both the man and the woman shall jointly go to the marriage registration authority in the place where one party's permanent household registration is located to handle the marriage registration.
If a Chinese citizen marries a foreigner in the mainland of China, or a mainland resident marries a Hong Kong resident, a Macao resident, a Taiwan resident, or an overseas Chinese in the mainland of China, both men and women shall jointly go to the marriage registration office in the place where the mainland resident's permanent residence is located to register their marriage.

The division of property in the divorce of consanguineous marriage can be based on the respective shares held by both parties. Consanguineous marriage is considered an invalid marriage, so the property during the existence of the invalid marriage cannot be recognized as joint property of the couple, and can only be treated as property during cohabitation. In general, for the jointly owned property of both parties, each party can divide it proportionally based on their respective contributions to the jointly owned property.
Fanneng Law Firm reminds you that according to Article 303 of the Civil Code, if the co owners agree not to divide the jointly owned immovable or movable property in order to maintain the joint ownership relationship, they shall follow the agreement. However, if the co owners have significant reasons for needing to divide, they may request division; If there is no agreement or the agreement is unclear, the co owners may request division at any time. When the shared foundation is lost or there are significant reasons for division, the co owners may request division. If the division causes damage to other co owners, compensation should be given.
