How long is it appropriate to remarry after widowhood
Strictly speaking, there is no definite time for a spouse to remarry after death. Legally speaking, as long as the marriage conditions are met, no matter how long the spouse dies, he can remarry. But in terms of feelings and customs, it is best to leave a buffer period of about two or three years. In recent years, even the mourning for the dead. When everything in my heart has been put down, it is fair to meet new people. The process of getting married is as follows:
1, application. To get married, both men and women must hold their household registration certificate, resident identity card, and a signed statement that they have no spouse and no direct blood relationship with each other and collateral blood relationship within three generations;
2. review. The registration authority shall examine the marriage application of both parties;
3. register. After examination, the marriage registration authority considers that it meets the conditions for marriage, it shall grant registration and issue a marriage certificate.
The procedure of marriage registration is as follows:
1. Both men and women who require marriage registration jointly apply to the marriage registration authority of the district or county civil affairs bureau (or the town people's government) with the required documents;
2. Both parties apply to the marriage registration office in person, and each party fills in a declaration of application for marriage registration;
3. Both parties must personally sign or press their fingerprints in the "Declarer" column of the application for marriage registration in front of the marriage registrar;
4. The marriage registration authority shall examine the documents and statements submitted by both parties, and register those that meet the requirements for marriage registration.
To sum up, there is no legal time limit, but it is reasonable to wait for more than two years. After all, if the person who made a vow leaves, it will be a little chilling to remarry with the next person immediately.
Legal basis:
Article 5 1 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC).
The marriage relationship of the person who is declared dead shall be eliminated from the date of death. If the declaration of death is revoked, the marriage relationship will be restored on its own from the date of revocation. However, unless the spouse remarries or declares in writing to the marriage registration authority that he is unwilling to resume.
