We say that marriage requires reaching the legal age, and if you are not old enough, you cannot obtain a marriage certificate! The Civil Code of our country clearly stipulates the age of marriage for men and women, with men not earlier than 22 years old and women not earlier than 20 years old. Therefore, if the legal age for marriage has not been reached, the marriage registration authority will not register and cannot issue a marriage certificate. Both men and women should jointly go to the marriage registration authority in the place where one party's permanent household registration is located to handle the marriage registration at the same time. Mainland residents who apply for marriage registration shall provide the following documents and proof materials:
（1） My ID card and household registration book.
（2） I hereby declare that I have no spouse and no direct blood relationship or collateral blood relationship within three generations with the other party.
The marriage cigarette registration authority shall review the certificate materials issued by the parties to the marriage registration and inquire about relevant information. If the parties meet the conditions for registering the marriage, they shall be registered on the spot and issued a marriage certificate; If the parties do not meet the conditions for marriage, the situation should be explained to them. So those who have not reached the age of marriage cannot be issued a marriage certificate.

The fact that the female party has reached the legal age for marriage and the male party has not yet reached it does not constitute a condition for marriage as stipulated by the Marriage Law. Marriage is invalid and does not constitute a marital relationship, and cannot be registered with the Ministry of Civil Affairs for marriage. Children born out of wedlock may not be fined, depending on the local management situation and the amount of administrative penalties. There is no unified regulation in the country. It may not be punished, or it may be fined. The natural and social attributes of marriage require that marriage must reach a certain age in order to possess suitable physiological and psychological conditions, fulfill marital obligations, and assume family and social responsibilities. So, although our country's laws grant every citizen the right to marry, not all citizens can become the subject of the legal relationship of marriage. Only those who have reached the legal age for marriage enjoy the right to marry. The legal age for marriage in China is not earlier than 22 years for men and 20 years for women. Getting married and having children should be a sign of a new and happy family, but no matter how urgent the matter is, it should be within the scope of legal regulations.
