Time:2025-09-01 Views:1785
There is no legal requirement to pay a fine for not getting married, it is only possible to get married at the designated age.
According to the Civil Code
Article 1046 [Voluntary Marriage] Marriage shall be fully voluntary for both the man and the woman, and neither party shall force the other, nor shall any organization or individual interfere.
Article 1047: The legal age for marriage shall not be earlier than 22 years for males and 20 years for females.
Article 1049: Both the man and the woman who are required to get married shall personally apply for marriage registration at the marriage registration authority. Those who comply with the provisions of this law shall be registered and issued a marriage certificate. Completing marriage registration establishes the marital relationship. Those who have not registered their marriage should apply for registration again.
Firstly, application
Both parties who request marriage must present their household registration certificate, resident ID card, and a certificate issued by their employer regarding their date of birth, ethnicity, and marital status to jointly apply for marriage registration at the marriage registration authority in the place where one party's household registration is located. Both men and women must be present when applying for registration.
Secondly, review
The marriage registration management authority shall review the application of the parties and determine whether the marriage application meets the conditions for marriage.
Thirdly, registration
Register it
The marriage registration authority shall immediately register and issue a marriage certificate to those who meet the conditions for marriage; For those who have been divorced, their divorce certificate should be cancelled.
Not registered
If the applicant falls under any of the following circumstances, the marriage registration authority will not register: those who have not reached the legal age for marriage; Involuntary; Those who already have a spouse; Belonging to direct blood relatives or collateral blood relatives within three generations; Suffering from diseases that are medically considered unsuitable for marriage.
III
According to the law, major marital diseases mainly include: designated infectious diseases (such as AIDS, gonorrhea, syphilis, leprosy, etc.), serious genetic diseases (such as congenital dementia, generalized albinism, etc.), and related mental diseases (such as schizophrenia, severe mental retardation, and those who cannot take care of themselves).
The previous marriage regulations stipulated that "if a person suffers from a disease that is medically considered unsuitable for marriage before marriage and has not been cured after marriage, the marriage is invalid. This means that those who previously suffered from these major illnesses were unable to get married.
In the current implementation of the Marriage and Family section of the Civil Code, the clause "suffering from a disease medically deemed unfit for marriage" has been deleted, and a legal obligation has been added that "if one party suffers from a serious illness, they should truthfully inform the other party before marriage registration". It has changed the previous view on "disease marriage", and in the future, "disease marriage" is no longer invalid! But it is revocable.
According to Article 1053 of the Civil Code, if one party suffers from a serious illness, they shall truthfully inform the other party before marriage registration; If the information is not truthfully disclosed, the other party may request the revocation of the marriage from the people's court.
A request for revocation of marriage shall be made within one year from the date of knowing or should have known the reasons for revocation.
