Every year, the institution of marriage depreciates. Do you think this is due to the fact that people no longer believe in love? No, just today, in order to live happily with a loved one, it is not necessary to officially register the relationship. Young people adhere to the position that before you can officially link your life with the life of another, you need to get to know the chosen one better. And so the decision has been made. What should married people know?
The difference between a civil marriage and a registered one
Lovers who decide to live together before the wedding act wisely. They know each other better, get acquainted with the traditions and lifestyle of another person. Civil marriage is cohabitation. Although recently, officials have decided to make such a union legally formalized. But so far the matter has not yet reached this point.
What is the difference between a civil marriage from an officially registered one? The joint property acquired by the lovers in the first case will not be divided. Only honesty of people and their pliability will help. Marrying people will not experience such a problem. Everything that will be bought after the wedding can be, if necessary, divided by court. Children born in a common-law marriage receive the surname of the mother, and the father will have to officially adopt the child. In the case of official marriage, this can be avoided. Civil marriage imposes less responsibility on people. Quarreling lovers can leave and not talk to each other, just for the sake of principle. An officially registered family will be forced to make peace and resolve the conflict.
Reasons for getting married
People make out their relationship in the registry office voluntarily. What prompts couples getting married to take this serious step in formalizing the relationship?
- Love. This is the most common and most common reason. Lovers want to spend more time with each other, share grief and joy. Therefore, the couple officially formalizes the relationship and begins to live together.
- Money. Some mercantile people sometimes decide to live at someone else's expense. They find a rich sponsor, marry him or get married and live happily ever after.
- Salvation from loneliness. No man in this world wants to be alone. Each person needs to know that in this world there are those for whom you need to wake up tomorrow morning. Marriage can help a person find a new meaning in life.
- Traditions. In many countries, the wedding is still the main goal of a woman’s life. Girls from childhood are brought up in the spirit of the fact that in the future they will have a beautiful wedding and a wonderful family life.
- Circumstances. An unplanned pregnancy most often becomes the circumstance due to which people marry. Sometimes citizens of one country cannot get a visa to another state and they have to arrange fictitious marriages.
Marriage Conditions
If the lovers decided to formally formalize the relationship, they must fulfill certain conditions. There is nothing complicated here. Everything is thought out so that persons entering into marriage realize the seriousness of their step and can be held responsible for the committed act.
- Mutual agreement. People who come to formalize their relationships must be firmly convinced that their choice is the right one. It is impossible to force a person to get married, and it is not necessary. Such a marriage will not last long. Therefore, one of the main conditions for the formalization of relations is the mutual consent of future spouses.
- Coming of age. A child cannot support a family and make responsible decisions. Therefore, the age at which people can officially formalize their relationship is 18 years old. From this moment, a person becomes an adult and it is believed that he now has the right to do whatever he wants with his fate.
- The absence of obstacles. For a marriage to be valid, there should be no circumstances that could interfere with its registration.
Reasons to refuse registration
Relationships may not always be registered and there are serious reasons for this:
- Close relatives. People who are related to each other should not marry. Why? They have no chance of a successful procreation. As numerous examples from history show, related marriages lead to degeneration of the species. Children in such couples are born sick and mentally retarded.
- Mentally unhealthy people. A person who decides to marry should be aware of himself as a person and make decisions consciously. Mentally unhealthy people do not have the right to take responsibility for the life of another person, since they cannot control their behavior and their emotions.
- Already married. A person who already has an official family cannot start another. Therefore, if one of the lovers is married at the time of application, the couple will be refused.
- Adoptive and adopted. Parents who raised a child should not consider him as a potential husband or wife. Therefore, adoptive relatives cannot marry.
Registration Procedure
The lovers decided on a crucial step. What should marriages do?
- Payment of duty. As in all municipal institutions that register human rights, the future couple must make a contribution to the state account. State duty is paid by both representatives of the future family. The form for payment can be obtained at the registry office or downloaded on the Internet.
- Filing an application. After the state duty is paid, the couple must write a statement. In a standard form, you must indicate your name, nationality, reason for marriage and indicate that the decision was made by mutual consent.
- Submission of documents. In addition to the application, you must submit a passport to the registry office. Those individuals who already have failed family relationships must also provide a divorce certificate.
Can I submit documents separately?
In the modern world, it should not surprise anyone that spouses cannot find free time on a weekday in order to apply. And therefore, persons entering into marriage should know that they can write separate applications and file them at different times. True, in this case, lovers will have to use the help of a notary. Both statements must be officially stamped and certified by a lawyer. This problem can be avoided if you submit documents not at the registry office, but on the official portal of public services. Young people will have to verify their identities with electronic signatures, but will not have to collect paper documents.
Outside registration
Want a beautiful wedding in nature? It is quite possible. It is necessary to notify the registry office employees in advance. Your wish will be feasible exclusively on Friday and Saturday. Marriage must necessarily consider how the person who will arrange the marriage will get to the place of their wedding. In an ideal situation, the newlyweds should hire a car so that the registry office employee can conveniently get to the place. If the lovers want to organize their celebration on one of the weekdays, then they can officially marry on the weekend, and then arrange a fake wedding in nature. This option is less expensive, since it is easier to implement.
But not always people order exit registration because of their whims. Some have no way to get to the registry office. For example, people with disabilities, people in a difficult situation or prisoners. All these citizens have the right to register a marriage, and this right is always satisfied.
How to choose a surname?
The decision to marry people should be mutual. But how should you choose a surname? Usually a woman takes the name of her husband. But often there are situations when the opposite happens. For example, if a man does not like his last name, or if the bride puts such a condition. Newlyweds may not part with their last names. This option is also valid. It is also possible to double the name. True, there is one caveat. If one of the spouses already has a double surname, it will not be possible to add another addition to it through a hyphen.
Entries in the marriage certificate
Everyone has the right to marry. Many people are interested in what their document confirming the marriage union will look like. It will contain data from the passports of the newlyweds, common or different surnames, as well as the situation before marriage. If one of the spouses already had experience of family life, then in the marriage certificate there will be a column indicating the number of the divorce document of the previous marriage. Each document has its own series and number, as well as the date of compilation.
When can I get a certificate?
On the same day that citizens marry, they will receive a certificate of registration of their union. Also, the newlyweds receive their pastoral with stamps on the change of marital status. But the rest of the documents, the person who changed his last name, will have to change in those instances in which he received them. Can they delay the issuance of marriage certificates? Not. It is always issued at the end of the ceremony.
Medical examination
When marrying, spouses must be confident in each other. And sometimes people do not have to trust the word. If both partners had an active personal life, then blind trust can be expensive for a person. Therefore, often before they get married, people conduct a full medical examination. Its results are a medical secret. But a person who wants to associate fate with his beloved must give her the opportunity to view all the results. Indeed, often a person can conceal something, for example, HIV infection, or a person may not even know that he is infected.
Wedding Preparation Vacation
Whether to marry or not to do this - everyone decides for himself. People who have decided to form an alliance should be able to prepare for their holiday. But not everyone has the opportunity to combine a vacation and a wedding. Therefore, by law, everyone has the right to take 5 unpaid time offs. The person can spend the resulting mini-vacation at his discretion. For example, a person can take half days before the holiday, and half after. Or leave the whole week on a small honeymoon trip.
Marriage contract
The citizen got married in her right mind and bright memory. But she could not check her husband for honesty before the wedding. What can be done in this case? Sign a prenuptial agreement. Honest and open people who marry because of sincere love will not be mercantile. They will be happy to sign all papers that confirm the purity of their intentions. It seems to some that for those entering into marriage, a prenuptial agreement may become a stumbling block. But this is not so. If a person does not intend to take all the property of the spouse after the wedding, then he will not have anything against it. Someone will say that a prenuptial agreement is uncertainty about tomorrow. This is hard to deny. But there is a very true proverb - “trust, but verify”. It is she who is guided by intelligent people.
Reasons for divorce
When a person makes a fateful act, he must always think about the consequences. A person who has entered into a legal marriage should think about whether that person is near you. After reading the reasons why marriages most often break up, you can think about whether the right choice was made.
- Different tempers. People who often swear and quarrel are unlikely to ever find a common language. Yes, at the beginning of the relationship, the couple likes to swear, and then put up. This brings variety and a storm of emotions to life. But over time, a person who is in awe of daily nerves will begin to annoy.
- Different habits. Many marriages break up for the reason that people were brought up in different conditions and therefore acquired different household habits. Someone washes dishes immediately after eating, while someone is used to doing this before eating. Someone is normal about the mess, and for someone, cleanliness in the house is very important.
- Lack of children. If one of the spouses cannot conceive a child, then the other half will soon be able to find a replacement for her lover.
- Treason. If one of the spouses becomes bored, and he tries to find entertainment on the side, this may cause the collapse of the family idyll.
