Frequently asked questions about marriage legal consultation

1950 The Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China promulgated in May is the first law promulgated in New China.

The content mainly focuses on the adjustment of marriage relations, and also involves various important issues in family relations. Then let's summarize the common problems of marriage legal consultation.

1. Which marriages can be revoked?

The Marriage Law stipulates that if a marriage is coerced, the coerced party may request the marriage registration authority or the people's court to cancel the marriage. If the coerced party requests to dissolve the marriage, it shall do so within one year from the date of marriage registration. If the party whose personal freedom is illegally restricted wants to dissolve the marriage, it shall do so within one year from the date of restoring personal freedom. "Coercion" refers to the situation that the actor forces the other party to get married against his true will by threatening to cause damage to the life, health, reputation and property of the other party or his close relatives. The person who asks for the cancellation of marriage because of coercion can only be the party in the coerced marriage relationship. The term "one year" here does not apply to the suspension, interruption or extension of the statute of limitations. If you don't make a request to cancel the marriage within one year, the right to claim will disappear forever.

2. What is an invalid marriage?

The Marriage Law stipulates that marriage is invalid in any of the following circumstances:

Bigamy;

Having a kinship relationship that prohibits marriage;

Before marriage, he suffered from a disease that was medically considered unsuitable for marriage and was not cured after marriage;

Underage for marriage. Although the marriage is invalid at the time of marriage, the people's court will not support it if the legally invalid marriage situation has disappeared when the parties apply to the people's court for cancellation.

3. Prepare for divorce, agreement or lawsuit?

There are two ways of divorce: agreement and litigation, each with its own characteristics, and the parties can choose according to their own actual situation.

I. Divorce by agreement

The advantage of divorce by agreement is that it saves time and money. Generally speaking, if the materials are complete, the divorce procedure can be completed in about half an hour. However, the requirements for divorce by agreement are stricter. Divorce by agreement requires both husband and wife to reach an agreement on the meaning of divorce, property division, child support and other issues. If the two parties cannot reach an agreement on any of the above issues, they can only choose to file a lawsuit for divorce. Therefore, before the divorce registration is agreed, both parties should sign a written divorce agreement.

Second, litigation divorce

If one spouse files for divorce, the other spouse does not agree to divorce, or both parties agree to divorce, but no agreement has been reached on issues such as property division, child support, education, medical expenses, etc., the parties involved in divorce proceedings may file divorce proceedings with the people's court. Litigation divorce is relatively time-consuming and laborious, but if the two sides can't reach a divorce agreement, it is a necessary step. 4. What are the conditions for divorce by agreement?

According to the provisions of the Marriage Law and the Regulations on the Administration of Marriage Registration, the legal conditions for agreeing to divorce registration are: 1. Both parties applying for divorce should divorce voluntarily. The marriage registration office does not accept the divorce request put forward by one party.

2. Both parties applying for divorce have properly handled the issues of child support and property. If both parties ask for a divorce, but no agreement has been reached on matters such as child support, financial assistance for one spouse's living difficulties, property and debt handling, the marriage registration authority will not accept it.

3. In other cases where divorce is not agreed, if one or both parties have limited or no capacity for civil conduct, the marriage registration authority will not accept it; If the marriage registration is not handled, the marriage registration administration organ will not accept it.

5. What about the divorce of active servicemen? According to the provisions of the Marriage Law, the spouse of an active-duty soldier who wants a divorce must obtain the consent of the active-duty soldier, unless the active-duty soldier has a major fault. Gross negligence here refers to one of the following military situations:

Bigamy or a spouse living with others;

Committing domestic violence or abusing or abandoning family members;

Gambling, drug abuse and other bad habits are incorrigible; If the non-military party files for divorce, the military party disagrees, and the military party has no major fault, the divorce will not be decided. There are no restrictions for the military to file for divorce.

6. Under what circumstances should a man not file for divorce?

Article 34 of the Marriage Law stipulates: "A woman may not file for divorce during pregnancy and within one year after delivery."

However, Article 34 of the Marriage Law also stipulates that "if the woman files for divorce during pregnancy and within one year after delivery, or the people's court deems it really necessary to accept the man's request for divorce, this restriction shall not apply." That is to say, although the law limits the man's right to sue within a certain period of time after the woman is pregnant and gives birth, he can still accept the man's divorce request under special circumstances. Here, the key is to see which situations are "really necessary", and there is no such restriction. Judging from the trial practice and the relevant judicial interpretation in the Supreme People's Court, the situation of "really necessary" is currently a kind of

Generally refers to the situation that the woman is pregnant due to adultery. If the man files a divorce lawsuit after the woman is pregnant with adultery or within one year after the woman gives birth, the court shall accept it. In addition, within one year after the woman gives birth, the man still cannot file for divorce. From the legislative spirit, legally restricting the man's right to sue for divorce within one year after the woman gives birth is not only for the normal development of the baby, but also for the woman's physical and mental health. 7. How can a husband and wife divorce without civil conduct?

1. If one of the spouses has civil capacity, only divorce proceedings can be filed. Divorce stipulated in the Marriage Law requires both husband and wife to divorce voluntarily. If one party has no capacity for civil conduct, it is not voluntary. From this, it can be considered that the spouse without civil capacity cannot agree to divorce, and other relatives of the spouse without civil capacity cannot represent him in the divorce agreement. In this case, if one of the spouses has no capacity for civil conduct and files an application for divorce registration with the marriage registration department, the marriage registration department will not accept it and shall inform him to file a divorce lawsuit with the people's court.

Two, in litigation, relatives of the parties without civil capacity must first determine the legal representative to represent them. Scope of legal representative: parents, adult children, adult brothers and sisters with dependent relationship. If there is no legal representative within the above scope, the legal representative can be determined in accordance with the methods stipulated in the Civil Law and the Civil Procedure Law.

If no agreement can be reached, the court can close the case directly.

10. Can the marriage be dissolved automatically after two years of separation?

Marriage can only be dissolved through divorce registration or court judgment or mediation. Separation, no matter how long, can't automatically dissolve the marriage. However, according to the provisions of the Marriage Law, if the husband and wife are separated for two years, the relationship between husband and wife has indeed broken down.
