According to Article 1047 of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China, the legal age for marriage for males shall not be earlier than 22 years old, and for females shall not be earlier than 20 years old.
Therefore, according to current laws and regulations, it is not allowed to obtain a marriage certificate after the age of 18. This regulation ensures that both the married man and woman have reached sufficient maturity and sense of responsibility to assume the rights and obligations brought by marriage.

According to Article 1048 of the Civil Code, marriage is prohibited for direct blood relatives or collateral blood relatives within three generations. In addition, there are several situations where a marriage certificate cannot be obtained:
1. Those who have not reached the legal age for marriage;
2. Non voluntary, that is, there are situations of coercion, fraud, etc;
3. Those who already have a spouse, namely bigamy;
4. Family relationships that are prohibited from marriage, such as direct blood relatives and some collateral blood relatives.
These regulations aim to protect the purity and stability of marriage, and avoid negative impacts on parties and society due to inappropriate marital relationships.

1. The property obtained by spouses during the existence of their marriage, including wages, bonuses, labor remuneration, income from production, operation, investment, intellectual property, etc., belongs to the joint property of spouses and is jointly owned by them. Spouses have equal rights to dispose of common property.
2. There are also some properties that belong to the personal property of one spouse, such as premarital property of one spouse, compensation or indemnification obtained by one spouse for personal injury, property determined to belong only to one spouse in a will or gift contract, etc. These assets will not be involved in the division during divorce.
3. In divorce, the joint property of husband and wife should be divided according to the principle of taking care of the rights and interests of children, the female party, and the innocent party.
4. If one party engages in serious acts that harm the interests of the joint property of the couple, such as hiding, transferring, selling, damaging, squandering, or forging joint debts, they may request the division of the joint property of the couple from the people's court.
In summary, in marital relationships, spouses should respect each other, negotiate on an equal footing, and jointly maintain family harmony and property security. If encountering problems that cannot be resolved through negotiation, one can seek legal aid or file a lawsuit with the people's court.
