The situation where marriage registration cannot be processed
Time:2025-08-28 Views:1728
Introduction: Under what circumstances cannot the marriage registration authority handle marriage registration for the parties involved? Article 6 of the Marriage Registration Regulations stipulates that if the parties involved in marriage registration have any of the following five circumstances, the marriage registration authority shall not register them:
（1） Those who have not reached the legal age for marriage;
（2） Not voluntarily agreed upon by both parties;
（3） One or both parties already have spouses;
（4） Belonging to direct blood relatives or collateral blood relatives within three generations;
（5） Suffering from diseases that are medically considered unsuitable for marriage.
If the parties applying for marriage registration fall under the first, third, fourth, or fifth circumstances, and the marriage registration authority completes the marriage registration, it constitutes an invalid marriage as stipulated by the Marriage Law. If the parties are in the situation specified in item (2) and there is a problem of coercion, it is also defined as a revocable marriage by the Marriage Law.
The above five situations where the marriage registration authority refuses to handle marriage registration refer to the parties who do not meet the substantive requirements of marriage registration. In addition, if the parties do not meet the formal requirements of marriage registration, such as applying for registration with a non jurisdictional marriage registration authority without providing valid identity documents and certificates, and both parties are not present together, the marriage registration authority cannot handle marriage registration for the parties who do not meet these formal requirements.

Marriage registration procedure
The most important thing in marriage is registration, and the specific procedures are as follows:
First of all, the parties applying for marriage must go to the marriage registration authority where the male and female party's registered residence is located together with relevant certificates to fill in the Marriage Registration Application Form with black ink pen, and pay the production cost and service fee of the marriage certificate.
Secondly, after receiving the application, the marriage registration authority will examine each party's eligibility for marriage item by item. For example, whether both parties have reached the legal age for marriage, whether they are bigamy, and so on.
Finally, after examination, if it meets the requirements of the registered residence location, it is allowed to register. You need to be present at the same time to receive a big red marriage certificate.
Marriage registration is a necessary procedure for the validity of marriage, and the wedding ceremony cannot be replaced. At the same time, it should be reminded that before registration, you must go to a regular hospital to undergo a marriage regulation and receive pre marital guidance from a doctor. This is the first step towards eugenics and also a comprehensive and systematic health check for oneself, which is beneficial and harmless.
Registration location: The marriage registration authority in the place where either party's household registration is located.
Proof required for marriage registration:
1. Household register (or collective registered residence certificate)
2. Resident ID card
3. Proof of marital status
(1) Fixed employees and retired employees shall be issued by their respective units
(2) Unemployed and unemployed individuals shall be issued by the neighborhood (village) committee
(3) Unemployed individuals and individual businesses should also provide a labor manual (or license)
4. Three 2-inch color photos. Recently, I have taken three front facing, bareheaded, 2-inch single person color photos. The photos of both parties are of the same color, and there is a Polaroid snapshot service available at the marriage registration office.
5. Special certificates for remarriage parties (in addition to the various certificates mentioned above), divorce certificate (or proof of resolving marital relationship) (or court mediation document) (or court divorce judgment document) Note: For those who hold a primary court judgment document, they also need to bring proof of the effectiveness of the primary court judgment.
6. A special certificate for individuals leaving the country for personal reasons (in addition to the various certificates mentioned above), a marriage certificate authenticated (or notarized) by my embassy or consulate abroad during their stay abroad.
