Marriage Problems in Japan Regulations on marriage between close relatives in Japan

If you're a girl, it's fine, according to the laws of both countries.

I'm not sure if it's a boy.

Issuing an unmarried certificate in China, and then taking the passports of the two people to the district office to handle it, it will be done quickly and conveniently.

In Japan, this is a very fast process because it is a matter that is conducive to the stability of foreigners.

Correct a little, I'm sorry, it seems that the domestic unmarried certificate is not needed, you can ask first.

Don't be hasty in getting married, think more, if you are already living together, then it's okay, if it's just a simple love, you still have to think more, Chinese abroad, many people have a complex purpose.

Good luck

Boss, wouldn't it be better to have the opportunity to find a Japanese woman in Japan, this is my lifelong dream.

You can get married if you are of the right age to get married.

Is it registered in China or Japan? You didn't make it clear that the laws of that country apply to which you are registered.

There is also the issue of nationality among you, because the policy is different, so please consult. For example, in China, families who marry late and have only children should have incentives in the community (one-time, not much money), but I don't know how to do it in Japan, but I heard that the policy is to encourage women to go home to their husbands and children.

There are also those that do not require a certificate of unmarriage, provided that you are married abroad.

Allowed

Japanese law has a very small scope of consanguineous relationships that prohibit marriage, so it is allowed to marry close relatives in Japan. In Japan, especially the imperial family, in order to consolidate power and ensure the purity of their family's bloodline, they marry people who are closely related to them. According to Japanese law, non-immediate family members other than fourth-degree relatives can get married, which means that fourth-degree relatives can get married.

According to the algorithm of fourth-degree relatives: if the parents are first-degree relatives, then the grandparents are second-degree relatives, uncles and aunts are third-degree relatives, and cousins and cousins are fourth-degree relatives. Therefore, cousins and cousins can get married in Japan.

Article 7 of China's Marriage Law clearly stipulates that direct blood relatives and collateral blood relatives within three generations are prohibited from marrying, which means that it is illegal for cousins and cousins to marry.

Legal Analysis: Japan can marry close relatives, and close relatives marriage can ensure the purity of the royal bloodline The main purpose of consanguineous marriage is to maintain the purity of the bloodline, and once married to someone other than the clan, the child born is mixed.

Legal basis: Civil Code of the People's Republic of China

Article 1046:Marriage shall be completely voluntary between a man and a woman, and neither party shall be allowed to coerce the other, nor shall any organization or individual interfere with it.

Article 1047:The age of marriage shall not be earlier than 22 years for men and 20 years old for women.

Article 1048:Marriage is prohibited for lineal blood relatives or collateral blood relatives within three generations.

Article 1049 A man and a woman who wish to marry shall apply for marriage registration in person at the marriage registration authority. Where the provisions of this Law are met, they shall be registered and a marriage certificate shall be issued. The marriage relationship is established after the marriage is registered. Where marriage registration has not been completed, the registration shall be re-registered.

The legal age for marriage in Japan is 18 years old.

Prior to 2018, the legal age of marriage in Japan was 18 for men and 16 for women. On March 13, 2018, Japan's ** Cabinet passed the latest amendment to the Civil Code, which means that the original legal age of marriage for women is 16 years old, and the legal age of marriage is 18 years old, which is the same as that of men.

Japan is very fond of Chinese culture, so they imitate that their wedding customs will have a shadow of China, such as matchmaking, bride price, banquets, etc. Unlike China, their bride price is called "settlement gold", that is, the bride price that the man recognizes to the woman's family through the matchmaker, and the woman will also return the bride price through the matchmaker, which is equivalent to China's dowry. Most of the marriage process in Japan is carried out through matchmakers, which is somewhat similar to the marriage process in ancient China.

Japan has also raised the legal age of marriage for women from 16 to 18, and the legal age of marriage for men and women has been unified at 18 years. If the bill is passed, the age limit between adults and minors in Japan, which has lasted since the Meiji era, will be changed. Japan** is striving to formally pass it at the current session of the Diet.

The Japanese media pointed out that due to the lack of a reasonable reason to treat men and women differently at the legal age of marriage, and because there are very few Japanese women who marry at the age of marriage, the age of marriage for men and women is unified at 18 years old. The age at which an adoptable child may be adopted will remain at 20 years.

With the lowering of the age of majority, other laws requiring the age of "minor" or "20 years old" will also be adjusted. For example, in order to maintain the current prohibition of alcohol and smoking under the age of 20, the term "minor" in the law will be replaced by "person under the age of 20".

In the case of public gambling events such as horse racing and motor racing, the prohibition on participation under the age of 20 will also be maintained by amending the wording. On the other hand, when you reach the age of 18, you can get a passport valid for 10 years.
