Is the new slogan of the Civil Affairs Bureau in 2021 true?

It’s true. The slogan of the Civil Affairs Bureau was changed to: "Marriage is not necessarily happy, and being single is not necessarily unhappy. You are born as one person, and you cannot be two people when you leave. Love is a luxury, and you can live without it."

Marriage law is the sum of legal norms that regulate marriage relationships in a certain society. It is the concentrated legal expression of the marriage system in a certain society. Its content mainly includes the establishment and dissolution of marriage, the validity of marriage, especially the rights and obligations between husband and wife. Judging from the nature of the objects to be adjusted, the Marriage Law includes not only the personal relationships arising from marriage, but also the spousal property relationships arising therefrom.

Most of the contents of the Marriage Law are mandatory norms, and there is a distinction between broad and narrow concepts. The broad Marriage Law regulates not only marriage, but also family relationships. Its name is used in an expanded sense. For example, the "Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China" in 1950 and 1980 includes provisions on marriage, spousal relations and divorce, as well as provisions on the rights and obligations between parents, children and other family members. Its content is narrower than family law, but broader than marriage law in a narrower sense. It is actually marriage and family law. The adjustment object of the marriage law in the narrow sense is limited to the marriage relationship, and its name is used in a strict sense. For example, the "Marriage Law of the Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia and Serbia" stipulates: "Marriage and legal relations in marriage are regulated by this law." No other matters are involved.
