A recent move to simplify marriage registration procedures in China has sparked intense debate.
According to the draft revisions to the marriage registration regulations, applicants will no longer be required to submit household registration documents, when applying for marriage certificates.
The proposal has stirred concerns among internet users regarding identity theft and bigamy. And many perceive it as an attempt by authorities to streamline marriage registration processes and address the declining marriage rate.
