Invalid marriage refers to a marriage relationship established by both parties who violate the relevant provisions of the Marriage Law and fail to perform the statutory marriage registration procedures. This type of marriage relationship is not protected by law as an invalid marriage. According to Article 10 of the Marriage Law, the following marriage relationships are invalid marriages:
1、 Bigamy;
2、 Family relationships that prohibit marriage;
3、 Suffering from a disease that is medically considered unsuitable for marriage before marriage, and not yet cured after marriage; 4、 Not yet of legal marriage age.
The parties involved in the illegal establishment of an invalid marriage shall unconditionally terminate the marriage and bear corresponding civil liability. Those who violate criminal law shall bear criminal liability.
Invalid marriage is invalid from the beginning, and the parties involved do not have the rights and obligations between husband and wife. The property obtained during cohabitation shall be handled through negotiation between the parties. If negotiation fails, the people's court shall make a judgment based on the principle of taking care of the innocent party. The property handling of bigamy shall not infringe upon the property interests of the legitimate parties to the marriage, and the children born shall be executed in accordance with the provisions for children born in marriage.
