[quote=LEONARDO,285749]JSUMMERS83 Ha! You are a careful observer! The traditional Chinese marriage custom has somewhat declined. In the past, Chinese people followed the principle of Three Letters And Six Etiquettes: Betrothal Letter, Gift Letter and Wedding Letter. Six Etiquettes: Proposing, Birthday matching Presenting betrothal gifts: Presenting wedding gifts, Picking a wedding date, Wedding ceremony The Three Letters and Six Etiquettes are essential to a marriage for Chinese in the past. Today, the formality has become more flexible. The cases you mentioned above is only a matter of lawful marriage and actual marriage. "Marriage book" (marriage certificate) is a proof that a coutry's law recognized a man and a woman as a lawful couple, which aims to ensure each party's rights and commitment in the relationship. Once a marriage certificate was issued, each party's rights will be protected by law. In terms of law, the date when a marriage certificate takes effect is the time when a man and a woman are officially married. [/quote]
