China lifts marriage restrictions?This is undoubtedly a big change in the marriage law in 2023!
Every family, everyone has to rely on their family. In China's thousands of years of history, the family is as important as the country。Traditionally, the rule of the family is that the parents have the final say, and the marriage has to be left to fateSince the founding of the People's Republic of China, this atmosphere has changed greatly, men and women are equal, and free love has become the new standard
Remember?Our "Marriage Law" was unveiled on Labor Day, May 1, 1950, along with the parade on the streets of Beijing
At that time,A paper law prohibits the sale of marriages and polygamy, and the equality of men and women, monogamy, and the protection of the rights and interests of women and children have become the new rules
Decades have passed in the blink of an eye, oursThe Marriage Law has also been updated quite a few times, every time to follow the pace of society, to contribute to people's freedom of love. Especially this year, 2023, is another big move, and this change is tantamount to a great liberation of the marriage system!
The previous marriage law had such and such restrictions - heterosexual marriage, age is enough, the place is right, and a lot of rules make people's heads big. But now,Our ideas are opening up day by day, and the state has decided to break these old boxes and give everyone more freedom
The change of the new marriage law is like a spring breeze blowing all over thousands of households. There is no limit to gender, no matter age, no matter if you are **person, no matter if you are **, the door of love is open from now on. Yes, whether it is a long-country relationship or a same-sex marriage, it is no longer difficult, and everyone can find their own happiness.
Let's take a closer look at thisTwo major changes
01 The age limit has been lifted
In the past, girls had to be 20 years old and young men were 22 years old to get married, but now it's okay, 18 years old and you want to get married, then get married, you don't have to wait until the "legal age". Wouldn't this be a great thing for those young people who wanted to worship early on!
02 "Marriage" does not recognize national borders
After the restrictive conditions are lifted, people will no longer be affected by factors such as place of origin, household registration, occupation, etc., which will restrict the freedom of marriage. This means that no matter where you come from or what profession you are in, as long as you love each other and recognize each other, you can enter the palace of marriage.
These changes also mean that we need to have a more open and modern understanding of marriage. Marriage is not just a union between a man and a woman in the traditional sense, but a union between two individuals based on love and mutual respect.
It should not be limited by gender, age, ethnicity, geography, etc.
However, even with fewer legal restrictions, marriage is still a serious commitment that requires careful consideration by both parties. Getting married means facing life's challenges together, taking responsibility together, and making compromises when necessary
AbsolutelyAs laws change, so should the relevant social systems and services。For example, relevant policies on legal consultation, marriage registration, joint ownership or independent management of property also need to be adjusted and improved accordingly to ensure the smooth implementation of the new law and the protection of people's rights and interests.
The implementation of the new Marriage Law is a sign of social progress and an affirmation of individual freedom and equal rights. But for this progress to be realized, we need each and every one of us to live our lives with these principles and build a more open, inclusive, and equal society.
So, no matter what stage of life you're in, remember:Happiness is our own pursuit, marriage is a union of equality and freedom, and the law is a strong backing to ensure that we love and be loved。Let's cherish this hard-won freedom, love bravely, and pursue our own happiness with determination
