Is the newcomer so 'confused'? Black man (Chen Jianzhou) and Fan Fan (Fan Weiqi) finally ended their "illegal cohabitation" status and became a legal couple. According to the media, they held a grand wedding on May 7th, but according to local laws in Taiwan, they should go to the household registration office to register three days before the wedding. However, this pair of "big headed shrimps" actually forgot about this and only found out half a month later that they were still legally single! It's not too late to mend the fold after losing the sheep. After learning that they needed to go through the marriage procedures, Fan Fan and the black man quickly took action and faced many twists and turns. Fan Fan's marriage registration with the black man was successful, and he was officially declared a legal couple with the black man.
Notice on Applying for Marriage Registration
Article 8 of the Marriage Law stipulates that "both men and women who are required to get married must personally go to the marriage registration office to register their marriage. Those who meet the requirements of this Law shall be registered and issued a marriage certificate. Obtaining a marriage certificate establishes the marital relationship. If marriage registration has not been completed, it shall be completed
According to Article 8 of the revised Marriage Law, which was promulgated and implemented on April 28, 2001, "Both men and women who are required to get married must personally go to the marriage registration office to register their marriage. Those who meet the requirements of this law will be registered, issued a marriage certificate, and the marriage certificate will be obtained, thus establishing the marital relationship. If the marriage registration has not been completed, it should be completed." Therefore, you can directly go to the local civil affairs bureau's marriage registration office to complete the registration.
The phrase 'registration should be supplemented' was proposed in the revised Marriage Law, mainly aimed at men and women who meet the conditions for marriage and live together in the name of husband and wife without registration. In order to guide them to have a correct understanding of the legal status of the marriage relationship and the parties involved in the marriage relationship, an additional clause was added. For such issues, they should be handled truthfully according to different situations. On December 24, 2001, the Supreme People's Court issued Interpretation No. 30, which stipulated:
1、 For those who apply for marriage registration, the validity of the marriage relationship shall be calculated from the time when both parties meet the substantive requirements for marriage stipulated in the Marriage Law;
2、 Before the promulgation and implementation of the Marriage Registration Management Regulations by the Ministry of Civil Affairs on February 1, 1994, if both parties have already met the substantive requirements of marriage but have not registered, they shall be treated as a de facto marriage; After the promulgation and implementation of the Marriage Registration Management Regulations by the Ministry of Civil Affairs on February 1, 1994, if both parties meet the substantive requirements for marriage, the people's court shall notify them to reapply for marriage registration. If they fail to reapply for marriage registration, they shall be treated as terminating their cohabitation relationship;
Applying for marriage registration has standardized the legally recognized factual marriage and cohabitation phenomena between men and women who meet the substantive requirements of marriage. For historical factual marriages, as long as they meet the factual marriage requirements of the Supreme People's Court's relevant judicial interpretations, they are still considered factual marriages. For those that do not meet the factual marriage requirements, they are considered cohabitation. Sichuan Faneng Law Firm is dedicated to serving you.
