The marriage registration system refers to the requirement that both men and women must go through the registration procedures with the relevant national departments as stipulated by law when getting married. After examination and approval of the marriage conditions, the marriage is established. China regards registration as the only formal requirement for marriage. Article 8 of the Marriage Law stipulates that "both men and women who are required to get married must personally go to the marriage registration office for marriage registration." The Marriage Registration Regulations came into effect in China on October 1, 2003.
The marriage registration authority shall review the relevant documents submitted by both parties present in person, such as whether they are completely voluntary, whether they have reached the age of marriage, whether they suffer from prohibited marriage diseases, whether they are bigamy, whether they are prohibited marriage relatives, etc. For those who meet the conditions for marriage, a marriage certificate shall be issued, and for those who do not meet the conditions for marriage, registration shall be refused. Only registered marriages are legal and valid marriages. The registration system involving state organs is not only an administrative monitoring, but more importantly, it can have a protective effect and achieve the purpose of publicity. During the registration process, it allows both men and women to further clarify the rights and obligations arising from marriage, and to treat marital life more seriously and cautiously, thus ensuring the stability of marriage to a certain extent.
