1. Age 18 is generally not allowed to get a marriage certificate in China.
So far, the legal age of marriage in China is that men should not be earlier than 22 years old and women should not be earlier than 20 years old. In other words, to register for a marriage certificate, men must be at least 22 years old and women must be at least 20 years old. A marriage that has not reached the legal age for marriage cannot be registered, and a marriage certificate can be obtained. Even if it is registered, it belongs to the scope of invalid marriage and is not protected by Chinese law.
18 years old represents China's adulthood and becomes a person with full capacity for civil conduct. However, under normal circumstances, citizens aged 18 still cannot apply for a marriage certificate, and they can only apply for a marriage certificate when they reach the legal age of marriage.
Two, some ethnic minority areas 18 years old can get a marriage certificate.
"Men should not be earlier than 22 years old and women should not be earlier than 20 years old" is aimed at most cases, but for some ethnic minority areas in China, due to the differences in living environment, the marriage age cannot be generalized, so the marriage age of some ethnic minorities in China should be implemented according to local specific marriage implementation regulations. Among them, some ethnic minorities 18 years old can get a marriage certificate, such as ethnic minorities in Inner Mongolia.
According to the local marriage implementation regulations, 18 can register marriage, so 18 can get a marriage certificate.
Reaching the legal age for marriage is one of the necessary conditions for effective marriage.
First, only with all the elements of marriage can marriage have legal effect and be protected by our laws.
