Is it okay to marry someone with the same surname

HOME > Knowledge

People with the same surname can get married. According to the Marriage Law of our country, marriage between direct blood relatives or collateral blood relatives within three generations is not allowed, and there are no restrictions on marriage with the same surname. In ancient times, there was a custom of not marrying people with the same surname because in the past, people had a relatively small range of activities, and people with the same surname in the surrounding area had a certain degree of blood relationship. Marriage between close relatives would affect the health of future generations, so it was not allowed to marry people with the same surname at that time.

Conditions for obtaining a marriage certificate

1. Both men and women must voluntarily marry, and neither party is allowed to force or interfere with the other party.

2. Reaching the legal age for marriage: Men must be at least 22 years old, and women must be at least 20 years old.

3. Both parties have no spouse (unmarried, divorced, widowed).

4. There is no direct blood relationship or collateral blood relationship within three generations between the two parties.

As long as the above four requirements are met, the same surname can also be married.
