Sichuan Birth Registration Cancels Marriage Restrictions and Birth Limits

The Sichuan Health and Health Commission recently issued the “Sichuan Provincial Birth Registration Service Management Measures”, which will come into force on February 15 and will be valid for five years. The “Measures” has a total of 16 articles, and the main revisions are as follows: First, the restriction on whether to marry or not has been cancelled. The “Measures” cancel the restrictions on whether the registered object is married or not, shift the focus of childbearing registration to childbearing desire and childbearing results, and return to the standard of population monitoring and childbearing services. The second is to cancel the limit on the number of births. The “Measures” stipulate that all citizens who have children should go through birth registration. The third is to simplify the requirements for birth registration. The “Measures” stipulate that when handling birth registration online, if the ID card or valid electronic certificate can be retrieved through the relevant information system, the identity certification materials will no longer be uploaded. Fourth, the requirements for information sharing have been increased. The “Measures” have added content such as “one matter of marriage and childbirth”, one-time handling, birth registration information sharing, and electronic certificate sharing. | Related reading (Financial Association)

In recent years, complaints about widowed marriages have become one of the main reasons why most women divorce or refuse to marry. For some open-minded women, having an unqualified spouse would be happier being alone.

As a province with a large number of divorces, the abolition of marriage restrictions in Sichuan’s birth registration can be regarded as adapting to local conditions. It’s just that, even though illegitimate birth is nothing new in the current society, and there are related rights and obligations in law, it was not explicitly advocated in the past. Therefore, the Sichuan government is the first to let go of illegitimate births, which will inevitably touch the discussion of moral issues.

Excluding the controversy on the moral level, the decision of the Sichuan provincial government is obviously considering the issue from the perspective of promoting population growth. However, childbearing without marriage still belongs to a different category in the current Chinese society. Whether the parties can withstand the pressure of public opinion is a problem. In addition, boosting the willingness to bear children does not depend on whether or not to get married, but on whether the person concerned has the ideological and material preparations to realize the problem of raising children.
