Valentine’s Day, in order to curry good luck and make their wedding anniversary more meaningful, many couples choose to get married on this day. But one married couple, who changed the marriage date on their marriage certificate to February 14 for good luck, surprisingly chose to divorce and remarry on this day.
Newlyweds ask for divorce and remarriage
“Hello, if we get a divorce today, can we still remarry today?” At 9:00 a.m., the marriage registry in Wanblin District, a young couple’s question made everyone present look sideways. “What do you mean?” The staff thought they had misheard. “We want to do a divorce today, then a marriage.” The young couple affirmed.
The young couple’s request struck everyone in the room as odd. “We mainly want to pick a good day to get married.” The husband explained that he and his wife had known each other for more than a year and the two wanted to hold a wedding this year. Before the wedding, they approached an acquaintance to choose the zodiac day for the wedding. The acquaintance told them that, according to their birthstones, their marriage after the spring of the year of the dragon will be very auspicious, white head to old age. “We just received a marriage license a few days ago, but I didn’t expect to miscalculate the date and receive a marriage license before the spring.” The second day of the marriage certificate, the young couple came to the marriage registry, hoping to change the time of the marriage certificate on the license, but according to the rules of the marriage certificate on the time can not be changed. The only way is to get a divorce and get a new marriage license. “At that time told them both the time on the marriage certificate can not be changed, the two went away, did not expect today actually come back to divorce.” The staff recalled that the staff also gave them ideological work at that time, telling them that whether their lives were happy or not had nothing to do with the time of the license.
Alternative behavior leads to a lot of discussion
“Today is Valentine’s Day, why did you choose today to get divorced?” The reporter asked. “We didn’t choose to get divorced today, we wanted to choose to get married today. When we divorce and get married again, the date on the marriage certificate will be changed to Feb. 14.” The husband said. “Is the time on the marriage certificate really that important?” The reporter asked again. “Of course it is important, who does not get married in order to be lucky?” The husband affirmed. “Then divorce on Valentine’s Day do you feel auspicious?” The couple was reluctant to answer the reporter’s question.
As the young couple insisted on divorcing and then getting married, the staff had to follow the rules, “Freedom of marriage, as long as both people agree to divorce, we have to handle it.” The staff said.
But when it came to divorce procedures, the marital status on the household book had not been changed to married because the two had not been married long enough. The staff told them to apply for the divorce certificate, they must first go to the police station to change the marital status on the hukou book to married. The young couple left the marriage registry with the materials unhappily. “Just married to leave this is also unlucky, right?” “Divorced and then married again can not be a second marriage?” “These two people are joking, right?” …… young couple has just left, the people present began to talk about it. “I can not understand it at all, although we all want to curry luck, but like this is a little too much, right?” Mr. Wang, who was at the scene to register his marriage, said. “After all, marriage is a lifelong event, they care about time like this is understandable, rather credible than believe it.” The same for Li Xiaoting, who also registered for the marriage, said.
Receive the divorce certificate immediately to remarry
At around 4 p.m., the young couple held hands and came to the marriage registry of Wan Berlin District, where they had gone to the police station to change their marital status to married. In the divorce registration window, they showed their ID cards, household register and marriage certificate and received the divorce application form. “Have you thought it through? Is it a voluntary divorce?” The staff finally asked when the two submitted the divorce application. The two men replied, “Yes.” Soon a divorce certificate was handed out from the divorce registration window.
The two men opened the divorce certificate, looked at it, and came back to the marriage registration window holding hands, handing over their ID cards, hukou books and the divorce certificate they had just received, “Please, please give me a marriage application form.” The husband said. The couple’s behavior drew curious looks from the people around. After fulfilling the relevant formalities, the young couple received a new marriage certificate with the exact same cover and photo as the one they received a few days ago, the only difference being that the marriage was registered on Feb. 14, 2012.
The two people who received the new marriage certificate left in a hurry, and the two people did not want to reveal their names, and the reporter learned that both of them are “after 80”.
Although in line with the regulations but not advocate
“The marriage law provides for freedom of marriage, whether marriage or divorce, as long as both parties are willing, it can be handled, there is no specific provision to say how long after the divorce to remarry.” Taiyuan City Civil Affairs Bureau, the director of the Department of Fundamental Affairs Wang Wengang introduced, from 2003, the state abolished the divorce requires the unit to open a certificate. The procedures for both marriage and divorce have been simplified. The only thing you need to show for marriage is your ID card and household register; for divorce, you need to show your ID card, household register and marriage certificate; and for remarriage, you need to show your ID card, household register and divorce certificate.
The simplification of procedures is supposed to provide convenience for everyone, but there are many people who treat marriage in a frivolous manner as a result. “Some people get married rashly in pursuit of a good day, there have been instances of divorce on the day of marriage, but the same day divorce and remarriage is the first time I have encountered it.” Wang Wengang said that such behavior is not against the rules, but it is not appropriate to promote. “We receive many people for marriage and divorce every day, no matter what day they are registered, it will not affect their lives. Therefore, we hope that people do not concentrate on the so-called good days to register, the face of marriage everyone should be sensible.” The staff of the marriage registration office in Wanblin district said
