Marriage before the age of marriage can result in the invalidity of the marriage. In China, the legal age of marriage is the minimum age limit for both men and women to enter into a marriage relationship, specifically not earlier than 22 years old for men and 20 years old for women.
If both parties marry before reaching the legal age, even if they voluntarily and agree to marry, such marriage is considered invalid.
II
Fanneng Law Firm reminds that marrying before the legal marriage age will result in a series of legal consequences.
The invalidity of marriage is the most direct consequence. If both parties truly wish to get married, they can go to the marriage registration office to apply for marriage registration after reaching the legal marriage age. However, please note that the validity of the marriage relationship after re registration is calculated from the time when both parties meet the legal requirements for marriage.
If both parties want to divorce after getting married, although they can negotiate and apply to the marriage registration office or file a divorce lawsuit with the court, these procedures may become complex and difficult to handle due to the invalidity of the marriage itself.
3. Marriage before the legal marriage age may also involve issues related to the handling of cohabitation property and child custody. These issues are often more complex and tricky, requiring both parties to negotiate or resolve through legal means.
III
For both parties who marry before the legal marriage age, handling marriage issues requires caution and rationality.
If both parties truly wish to continue their marriage, they can apply for marriage registration after reaching the legal marriage age to ensure the legality of the marriage.
If both parties decide to separate, they need to handle the property division and child custody issues during cohabitation properly. This may require both parties to negotiate or seek the help of professional lawyers to reach a fair and reasonable solution.
If disputes arise between the two parties due to marriage before the legal marriage age, it is best to resolve them through negotiation. If the negotiation fails and involves property and child custody issues, professional lawyers can be sought for consultation and assistance. Sichuan Faneng Law Firm is dedicated to serving you.
