Based on current regulations, foreigners can marry in China, but only under specific conditions related to their partner's nationality.
Marriage Requirements in China for Foreigners
According to the reference provided, you can only get married in China if you and/or your partner are Chinese nationals. This means that for a foreigner to legally marry in China, their intended spouse must be a citizen of the People's Republic of China.
Consequently, if neither you nor your partner is a Chinese national, you cannot get married in China. The legal framework for marriage registration in mainland China requires at least one party to hold Chinese citizenship.
Here is a summary based on the nationality requirements mentioned:
- Chinese National + Chinese National: Eligible to marry in China.
- Chinese National + Foreign National: Eligible to marry in China. A foreigner can marry if their partner is Chinese.
- Foreign National + Foreign National: Not eligible to marry in China. Foreigners cannot marry each other in China.
It is also stated in the reference that same-sex couples cannot get married in China, which is another important restriction regardless of nationality.
