Buying and selling marriages is illegal. Fanneng Law Firm reminds that according to the relevant provisions of China's Civil Code, buying and selling marriage is a marriage prohibited by law. Buying and selling marriage refers to a marriage formed by a third party, including parents, who violate the principle of marital autonomy and force others to obtain property. Marriage arrangements such as changing parents, transferring parents, and child brides are all manifestations of different forms of arranged marriages. Marriage through buying and selling is a cancer left over from thousands of years of feudal society.

Marriage registration can be roughly divided into three stages: application, examination, and registration.

(1) Household registration certificate;
(2) Resident ID card;
(3) Proof of marital status issued by the employer, village committee, or resident committee.
Both parties applying for marriage must also submit a pre marital health examination certificate issued by a hospital designated by the marriage registration authority. All Chinese citizens and foreigners who have complete certificates and meet the requirements of the law can apply to the marriage registration office with certificates and photos of both men and women. The parties applying for marriage registration shall truthfully provide the prescribed relevant documents and certificates to the marriage registration authority, and shall not conceal the true situation.
2. Review. The marriage registration management authority shall review the application of the parties to determine whether the marriage application meets the requirements. If there are any uncertainties, the authority shall inquire with the parties and, if necessary, may require them to provide relevant supporting materials.
