The conditions for marriage registration are as follows:
1, both men and women must marry voluntarily;
2. Marriage age: 22 years for men and 20 years for women;
3. Both parties have no spouse (unmarried, divorced or widowed);
4. Both parties have no lineal blood relatives and collateral blood relatives within three generations.

The significance of marriage registration
First, ensure the implementation of the socialist marriage system. The state supervises the establishment of citizens' marriage through marriage registration, which is conducive to maintaining the seriousness of the law, preventing arranged marriages, early marriages and bigamy, and ensuring the consolidation of the socialist marriage and family system with the coercive power of the state.
Second, protect the legitimate rights and interests of marriage parties. The state implements the marriage registration system, which can provide timely legal aid for men and women who strive for marriage autonomy and protect the legitimate rights of men and women who ask for marriage based on love; It can also help guide both parties to the marriage and avoid falling into an unfortunate marriage because of ignorance or deception.
Third, timely prevent and punish acts that violate the marriage law. Through marriage registration, state functionaries can directly educate the parties to the marriage, find out the behaviors violating the marriage law in time, and take corresponding effective measures.
