recently, the civil affairs bureau of changle district, fuzhou city revealed that during the marriage registration process, if it is discovered that the woman has been married and divorced many times with different people, the staff at the marriage registration window will remind her.

according to reports, the changle district civil affairs bureau is committed to serving young people in love and marriage. during the marriage registration process, if it is discovered that the woman has been married and divorced many times, or if it is discovered that the two parties have only known each other for a few days before applying for registration, the window staff is required to remind them to try to get to know each other in depth before registering, so as to avoid conflicts and disputes caused by marriage fraud and the loss of betrothal gifts.

this measure has sparked heated discussions, with some netizens believing that it can effectively prevent marriage fraud. other netizens believe that it is not enough to just remind the man to prevent marriage fraud, and that the woman should also be reminded to prevent being deceived. this is because there are many cases where the woman becomes a victim in marriage. for example, if the man has a history of domestic violence, the woman should be reminded to pay attention; if the man divorces due to debt, the woman should also be reminded to pay attention. in addition, both parties should be reminded to pay attention to premarital examinations to prevent the other party from concealing major diseases that affect their married life.

in theory, the relevant reminders are necessary, but the civil affairs department does not know the living conditions of the marriage registrants, whether the other party has a history of domestic violence, or whether they have bad habits. this information will not be presented in the marriage registration. as the changle district civil affairs bureau said in its response to relevant suggestions, the information of single men and women is personal privacy. without the consent of the parties, personal information cannot be collected privately and a database cannot be established. moreover, the marriage law stipulates freedom of marriage. the agency responsible for marriage registration cannot arbitrarily interfere with the freedom of marriage of others.

however, if a person gets married and divorced multiple times, this will be reflected in the online information of the marriage registration. if it is found in the marriage registration that one party gets married and divorced with different people quickly, and there is a suspected marriage fraud, it is the job of the marriage registration authority to pay attention to this and make a friendly reminder. this is not against the regulations. because the marriage law prohibits the use of marriage to demand property. if it is found that there is a suspected situation of using the name of marriage to defraud the betrothal gift, it is actually to maintain the provisions of the marriage law. just like checking the marriage age and bigamy in the marriage registration, this is to fulfill the legal obligation.

according to reports, this year, the marriage registration window in changle district has reminded three male parties who came to yutian town and luolian township to get married. afterwards, it was learned that the woman was indeed suspected of defrauding the betrothal gift through marriage, and the man and his family expressed their gratitude to the staff for the reminder. it can be seen that the reminder of the marriage registration agency is not redundant.

according to the introduction, "marriage fraud" is a type of fraud, which is aimed at illegal possession; while civil disputes involving betrothal gifts are aimed at marriage and do not involve the intention of illegal possession. for example, a blind date is held on the first day, the marriage certificate is obtained on the second day, and the woman "disappears" on the ninth day! not only is the woman married, she is also discussing marriage with many people and collecting generous betrothal gifts. in this case, the intention is not to get married.

in reality, there are many reports of people asking for money by means of marriage fraud. although marriage is a personal freedom, marriage fraud is different. it not only violates the relevant provisions of the marriage law, but may also constitute the crime of fraud. when a marriage registration agency finds suspicious circumstances, it is obliged to give reminders or even report to the police. because there may be illegal clues behind this, how can we turn a blind eye to it?

giving a friendly reminder when a marriage registration window finds a suspected marriage fraud is not meddling in other people's business, nor is it intended to interfere with marriage freedom, but rather a manifestation of actively fulfilling one's duties. of course, to prevent marriage fraud or falling into a marriage trap, both men and women should keep their eyes open and take the initiative and right of choice into their own hands. it is advisable to have a process of mutual understanding before registering a marriage to avoid misjudgment due to "information gap".
