In Ireland, the marriage certificate must be arranged at the place where the marriage is registered. It usually takes at least four months to arrange. Anyone who legally lives in Ireland, regardless of nationality, can apply. But not if it is a tourist visa. That is to say, for China people, only China people who study and work in Ireland, or hold other status for long-term residence, can register for marriage in Ireland.

His marriage certificate in Ireland is not recognized by China, and the marriage relationship recognized by China law must at least be registered at the China Embassy in Ireland. (At the same time, however, Irish law does not recognize marriage certificates issued by other countries' embassies in Ireland, so if you want to get a marriage relationship recognized by Irish law, you must be certified by the local marriage registration department in Ireland, or you must register your marriage in other countries, such as China. )

China has some misunderstandings about Irish marriage law. First of all, Ireland abolished the law that did not allow divorce more than ten years ago, and now divorce is allowed, but it must go through at least four years of separation. Because of the complicated procedures, lawyers are usually hired. In addition, if the marriage is registered in Ireland, the embassy or China, and if the marriage is divorced in China, then according to Irish law, the two are still husband and wife, and it is extremely beneficial for the woman to get a divorce in Ireland.

The marriage system in Ireland is very different. Married men and women can negotiate the wedding date, or ten years, or twenty years, at most one hundred years. When the wedding day comes, they can choose whether to postpone or dissolve the marriage according to their own wishes, so marriage is relatively free.

In China, it only costs 9 yuan to get married and get a marriage certificate, and it is a national unified price. However, in Ireland, the cost of marriage is directly related to the length of marriage. The longer the marriage, the lower the cost. If the wedding date signed by the prospective couple is 100, the cost is only 0.50. If it is a year, it needs 2000 pounds (one pound is about 10 yuan RMB), generally.

In addition to the wedding date and the cost of marriage, there is another interesting thing about the Irish marriage system, which is the marriage certificate, which is related to the wedding date. For a couple who have been married for a hundred years, the marriage certificate is just a note with the blessing of the justice; If you are a newcomer who has been married for a year, the marriage certificate you get is like an encyclopedia, which contains all kinds of marriage regulations, including the obligations and rights that should be fulfilled when you get married.
