Chapter 139 Marriage Law
"The legal age for marriage for men and women is 22 for women and 22 for men. In China, you must reach the legal age to get married. In China, both men and women need to go to the marriage registration office of the Civil Affairs Bureau to register their marriage. Only when the marriage is successfully registered can it be recognized and protected by the government.
Marriages between men and women who are under the legal age and not registered at the marriage registry will be considered invalid. Anyone who facilitates an invalid marriage will be punished by law.
The laws of the country stipulate that regardless of gender, people who are 18 years old are considered adults. In the past, girls were considered adults at the age of 15, and boys were considered adults at the age of 20. In the country, both men and women are considered adults at the age of 18. Ding Xia stopped talking and looked at the crowd below, who were shocked, angry, puzzled, unacceptable, and incredible...
This scene was not only happening in this classroom, but also in other classrooms. Many people objected excitedly, and even more expressed that they could not accept it.
Without exception, the teachers on the podium looked at everyone with a calm expression, as if they were used to it.
Lin Zisu complained in her heart: I’m a plant. . . Girls become adults at 15, and boys at 20. What a double standard, what special treatment. . . @$!@$%$@&!&%. . . .
Ding Xia looked at the reactions of the audience and continued, "In the country of He, when a man and a woman get married, there is no gift, no dowry, and no marriage. From the moment a man and a woman get their marriage certificate from the marriage registration office, they leave their original families, move their household registration out of their original families, and become their own family.
. . . . . .
What I have said above must be followed in the country. Don't discuss it or get excited. I am not discussing it with you, I am informing you. The laws set by the country are not negotiable. Those who do not accept them can leave the country. Before leaving, pay off the bills and you can leave without anyone stopping you. "
Ding Xia took a breath, ignoring the reactions below, and continued: "The afternoon before yesterday, a man who had just arrived in Qingshui City a few days ago sold his 13-year-old daughter to a foreign businessman. The man was sent to the mine to dig coal, and the businessman was fined a huge amount and was recorded on the country's blacklist. All the ports in the country are no longer open to him.
For more details, you can go to the Information Plaza. Crime cases are published from time to time in the Information Plaza and newspapers to warn people not to make the same mistake.
What I have in my hand is the Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China. Everyone should keep a copy and take it out to read it often.
Today's law class ends here. You can take a break before the next class."
After Ding Xia finished speaking, he handed the stack of papers in his hand to each group, one stack per person, and asked everyone to pass it around.
As soon as Ding Xia left, the classroom was filled with a buzz of conversation.
Mrs. Lu was so worried that she sat in her seat and sighed, "Oh, this escape has delayed us for a year. My Xianpeng, Xiancheng, Cuihe, and Xiatao, if they were supposed to be married before, they would have been married and engaged. I was thinking that now that we have finally settled down, we should find a marriage. Dad, Mom, what should I do?"
Lin Youfu: "What are you yelling about? Do you want to be arrested and forced to dig coal?"
Old man Lin had a sad face and said nothing.
Old Lady Wang sighed, "What can I do? What else can I do? We are on someone else's territory, so I have to do what I have to do."
Lin Youcai couldn't bear to watch and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, it's not just your family, it's the same for everyone! Everyone in Heguo is the same! Heguo doesn't require everyone to be in their seventies or eighties to get married!"
Shen Xianglan: "It's good to get married after the age of 20! Both men and women are mature and capable of forming a family, raising children, and supporting the elderly."
Without exception, Lin Youcai and Shen Xianglan were treated with contempt by their families.
Lin Xianwen and Lin Zisu lay on the table and laughed silently.
The law class lasted for more than an hour, with a 20-minute break, and the Chinese and math classes lasted for an hour each.
In the next two classes, everyone was absent-minded. The teachers had expected this, so there wasn't much new content, but more practice questions.
When the get out of class was finally over, everyone had lunch in the school cafeteria and then rushed to the market to buy some food and daily necessities.
Most people went to apply for temporary ID cards and work, while a few went shopping and bought some necessities for others.
Lin Zisu ate a bowl of duck noodles, wiped her mouth with satisfaction, and waited for others.
Lin Lizheng, Old Man Lin, Old Man Yang, Old Man Shi... A bunch of old men didn't go to work, and went back to Qingshui No. 3 Community after lunch. Spring is a good season for planting, and they planned to dig the ground in the yard, loosen the soil, and grow some vegetables for themselves. At least they don't have to buy vegetables for their own consumption.
Old Man Lin repeatedly reminded Old Lady Wang to remember to buy some vegetable seeds and not to forget about them while shopping.
Old Mrs. Wang waved her hand impatiently, telling the old man to leave quickly.
Everyone drove to the East Market, which was full of shops. A few of them were official stores, and most of them were private businesses.
Everyone went to the official store because they needed to buy cotton quilts. Although other stores in Qingshui City also had cotton quilts, their prices were higher than the official ones, and the quality was not necessarily as good as the official ones.
In recent years, the South has popularized cotton planting because of the United States, but people have a great demand for cotton. Merchants from the North will come to the United States to buy cotton and sell it in the North, but they only buy a certain amount each year. The demand for cotton in the South is already great, so a large amount of cotton is under the control of the United States.
In order to allow the people to cover themselves with cotton quilts, the government of the country allows people to go to the official store and buy two quilts at a low price with a temporary or resident ID card.
The current policy is that a person has only one chance to buy two quilts at a low price. If you want to buy more quilts, you can only buy them at the original price.
Local people can grow some cotton for their own use, but they cannot grow too much because cotton consumes a lot of soil fertility. The government does not allow people to use farmland to grow too much cotton.
Of course, people don’t want to plant too much cotton, they prefer to plant grain for peace of mind.
The livestock vehicles were parked in designated areas on the roadside, and everyone happily entered the shops to look at the goods.
Lin Zisu sighed, shopping is really something that most women love. The women who were sighing in the car just now have now forgotten what they learned in the law class.
The official shops are in a row, with more than ten shops, occupying most of the street. Some shops are connected together, while others are separate shops. Without exception, the signboards outside the door are the same as the shop style.
On the roof stands the words "Qingshui Government Shop", and under the eaves is a plaque that reads: Qingshui City Grain Shop, Qingshui City Cloth Shop, Qingshui City Seed Shop, Qingshui City Cotton Shop, Qingshui City Specialty Shop, Qingshui City Tool Shop, Qingshui City Drug Store, Qingshui City Grocery Store, Qingshui City Post Office, Qingshui City Book Store.
The cloth shop sells all kinds of cloth, as well as ready-made clothes, pants, socks, and shoes. The cotton shop sells ready-made cotton quilts and cotton pillows, as well as loose cotton.
The cloth shop and the cotton shop are interconnected, with five storefronts connected together, filled with customers shopping for goods.
Lin Zisu watched her mother concentrate on choosing quilts and pillows with her grandmother, mother-in-law, aunt and sisters-in-law, and then walked towards the fabric shop. Her three cousins and two cousins also followed happily, looking around.
Lin Youcai and Lin Xianwen went to the seed shop to choose seeds, while Lin Zisu walked towards the specialty shop, it would be great to buy some snacks to take home.
