  1. Direct blood relatives are absolutely not allowed to get married. This includes giving birth to oneself or one's own blood relatives of different generations, such as between parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren, etc.
  Marriage is also prohibited for collateral blood relatives within three generations. Collateral blood relatives refer to blood relatives born from the same common ancestor, although there is no direct direct relationship between the two parties.

  Pseudo kinship refers to a kinship relationship formed through legal means, rather than based on blood relations. The formation of this kinship relationship is to make up for the deficiency of blood relationship, so that some non blood related people have the same rights and obligations as blood relationship.
  The rights and obligations between adoptive parents and their adopted children, as well as between stepparents and their raised and educated stepchildren, shall be governed by the provisions of the law regarding the relationship between biological parents and children.
  This means that for the establishment of direct blood relatives, such as between adoptive fathers and daughters, their marital relationship is prohibited because from an ethical and legal perspective, they are equivalent to direct blood relatives.
  2. For the proposed collateral blood relationship, as long as there is no natural collateral blood relationship within three generations, their marriage is allowed. This is because there is no direct genetic connection between them, so there will be no potential genetic problems caused by consanguineous marriage.

  1. Adoption relationship refers to a non blood related family relationship established through legal means. In an adoption relationship, a legal parent-child relationship is formed between adoptive parents and adopted children, with the same rights and obligations as biological parents and children.
  However, if the adoption relationship is terminated, there is no longer a direct blood relationship between the two parties. In this case, if both parties meet other marriage conditions, they can register for marriage.
  Marriage between close relatives is not only illegal, but may also bring serious genetic risks. Do you have any other questions about marriage law? Welcome to propose at Faneng Law Firm, we will provide legal support for you. Sichuan Faneng Law Firm is dedicated to serving you.
