"Dad came back quickly, what did you do?" Ye Kai saw Ye Ziping coming back, walked over to help him hang his coat on the hanger, and then poured him another cup of tea before asking with concern. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Some things at work, it's boring." Ye Ziping glanced at his son and saw that he seemed to be more concerned, so he added, "Foreign-related marriage disputes, I made a statement. ”

"Foreign-related marriage...... This seems to be something that the civil affairs department should worry about......" After hearing this, Ye Kai asked with some curiosity.

In Ye Kai's impression, marriage has always been managed by the civil affairs department, so why worry about Ye Ziping, a member of the Central Political Bureau? It's really a bit of a knife to kill a chicken, should the members of the Central Political Bureau deal with these small things? It's simply not to use the village chief as a cadre!

"Marriage itself is a major human matter, not to mention the addition of the word foreign-related?" Ye Ziping glared at his son angrily, and then said, "Diplomacy is no trivial matter, and foreign-related marriages are the same, it is easy to have problems, so I have always been more cautious in this regard." ”

"Actually, I think this kind of thing doesn't matter......" Ye Kai said, "Marriage and having children are the basic rights of people, who people want to marry and who they want to have children with, what does this matter to others?" As long as it is handled on a voluntary basis, the civil affairs department should have done nothing in this regard, so why do they have to stick a lever in it and provoke people's suspicions? If you let foreigners read it, it will be a straight sentence, you don't respect human rights! ”

"What is disrespect for human rights, there are many sayings in this......" Ye Ziping shook his head, very disagreeing with his son's point of view.

Look from his position. Marriage is also an important factor related to national security, social stability, and family harmony, how can it be said to be a trivial matter?

From the early 80s, the revised Marriage Law made emotional breakdown the basis for divorce, and divorce began to become easy for Chinese, and from 1980, divorce began to become a normal part of Chinese-style marriage.

And transnational marriages also began to appear, and Shen Danping, the "desert girl" who was pure and silent in "The Corner Forgotten by Love", suddenly disappeared from the Chinese screen in 1984. and became the first well-known Chinese movie star to marry a foreigner.

Shen Danping's marriage has aroused strong repercussions from the society.

From the mid-80s. There are constantly popular female movie stars who suddenly disappear, and there is beginning to be gossip that some of them are brushing dishes abroad, and some are married to foreigners.

This trend is especially popular in Pearl City, and in the past three years. The growth rate of foreign-related marriages was 33%.

"The rapid growth of foreign-related marriage in Mingzhu City is mainly because Mingzhu people have found that after many years of isolation from the world, Mingzhu has fallen behind, and some women want to change their living environment and material living conditions through foreign marriage. At that time, foreign-related marriages were almost all of the 'national women and foreign men' type, and 'old husbands and young wives' accounted for a high proportion of them. Due to the large differences in age and knowledge level, coupled with the lack of language fluency and lack of emotional foundation. As a result, there were many marital crises later. Ye Ziping said to his son, "Kochi, foreigners, big money, and the marriage expectations of Chinese who are eager for quick success are climbing towards one mountain peak after another. And thus created a new term, sugar daddy. But then came a thing. The divorce rate is also high, and there are many financial disputes as a result. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Ziping mentioned another thing, which was also more influential at that time.

In '83, 36 women joined forces to petition the All-China Women's Federation, accusing their husband of Chen Shimei. These women are intellectuals who have consciously supported their husbands' careers in the past years and allowed them to continue their studies. But after turning over with the opportunity after the Cultural Revolution, these husbands actually took advantage of the "relationship breakdown" article in the new "Marriage Law". File for divorce, don't spoil the chaff wife.

At that time, the central leadership made a famous instruction. "The family is the cell of society...... Young workers and young women should be concerned about this issue. This instruction eventually became a weapon of victory for the petitioning women, and none of the 36 Chen Shimei divorced.

"But within 10 years, they were all divorced, and there was no one left." Ye Ziping said.

"When the people's hearts are scattered, the team will naturally not be able to take it." Ye Kai said, "Actually, the new marriage law is not wrong, instead of tying up and fighting, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible." ”

However, He Qing obviously has a different view in this regard, "Women are in a weak position in marriage, and they cannot achieve absolute fairness and justice, and the protection of women's rights in the marriage law is also very insufficient, especially things like third-party interference, which are only morally condemned, and there is no strict law to protect their own interests, I am more disappointed with the marriage law." ”

"I can't say that, I think these problems are caused by monogamy." Ye Kai waved his hand and said, "If you let go of this and implement the polygamy system, there will be no such troubles, as long as you have the ability, you can marry as many wives as you want, as long as you can afford it, then there will be no problem." ”

"Ridiculous idea! Even then, there's no guarantee that there won't be an extramarital affair, right? He Qing immediately condemned Ye Kai's thoughts.

"That's different...... Ye Kai said, "Since the polygamy system is allowed, then extramarital affairs must be absolutely prohibited, as long as you get on the bus, you have to make up the ticket, and the behavior of destroying other people's families must also be punished more severely, and the so-called moral condemnation must be replaced by harsh punishments!" ”

"How is it possible, after all these years, when has there been such a draconian law? An extramarital affair is just moral condemnation......" He Qing denied.

"So it can only be said that the people who make the law have problems themselves, and if they don't have ghosts in their hearts, how can they leave these tails? Let a bunch of sanctimonious hypocrites make the law, and the law is naturally full of loopholes, and there are back doors left by them to get rid of their crimes. Ye Kai pointed out sharply.

Ye Ziping listened to his son arguing with He Qing there, and the more he talked, the more outrageous it became, and almost all the experts who formulated the law were scolded as insidious and despicable villains, which suddenly made him cry and laugh.

"Okay, okay, don't mention it, Ye Kai, you're all talking about weirdness, and it doesn't have any practical meaning at all." Ye Ziping waved his hand to stop their argument, "Let me clear my head for a while, and after dinner, we will fly to Beijing." ”

The problem he had a headache was about Pearl City's liberalization of foreign-related marriage audits.

In fact, although there were many examples of Chinese and foreigners marrying at that time, the proportion was very small after all, and Chinese really had to make up their minds to marry foreigners, and they had to pass several hurdles, and the pressure they were under was incredible, but it was not exaggerated at all.

Many elderly people believe that marrying a child to a foreigner is "betraying the motherland, the party, and the people." In order to express their opposition, their parents will even force them to sever their relationship.

In addition to the parents' resolute disagreement, there are also tests from the unit and the registration authority. At that time, in order to register a marriage with the domestic marriage registration office, it was necessary to hold a certificate issued by the employer.

The general advice given by the employer on foreign-related marriages is that the parties voluntarily submit their resignations.

But most people are highly dependent on their employers, and quitting their jobs is by no means as easy as it sounds.

If a person does not have a unit and no organizational relationship, it means that he cannot live a normal life in society, and if he does not have a certificate from a unit, he will not even be able to complete the procedures for passport and going abroad.

For party members, foreign-related marriages are also suspected of "betraying the party organization", so they are generally advised to take the initiative.

Before Chinese and foreigners register their marriage, they must prepare their household registration booklets, ID cards, and certificates issued by county and regiment-level units to prove the marital status of the parties. The foreign-related party is required to provide passports, professional certificates and notarization by the Chinese embassy. Both parties must also go to a designated hospital for a prenuptial medical examination.

After the applicant submits the materials, the marriage registration authority does not immediately give registration and issuance of the certificate, and there is also a working skill of the marriage registration authority, that is, "wait and see".

In the case of a marriage application involving a foreigner, the registration authority usually asks the Chinese party's unit and sub-district office to understand the situation, and goes to the staff to do ideological work.

At that time, due to the ideological work and the pressure of the parties' units and public opinion, some parties could not bear it and no longer insisted on marrying foreigners. As a result, there are cases where the marriage application is approved two or three weeks or even a month later, but the parties to the marriage do not come to collect the license again.

However, in the 90s, the number of foreign-related marriage registrations increased year by year.

Last year, there were more than 2,000 foreign-related marriage registrations in Mingzhu City, and the society's attitude towards foreign-related marriages was also much more tolerant.

"The proposal of the Municipal People's Congress proposes to liberalize the review of foreign-related marriages, and also puts forward some supplementary provisions and amendments to the current marriage law." Ye Ziping said to his son, "This matter seems to be a bit trivial, but the impact is very great, I have a headache whether I should agree." ”

"So that's the case......" Ye Kai heard it, and he also felt a little scratching his head.

According to the current situation, the state's attitude towards foreign-related marriages should be acquiescing, and it is really troublesome for you to make them suddenly change and publicly express their support, or recognize and protect them in the form of law.

"I think that the matter of foreign-related marriage can be liberalized, but then there is the issue of how to protect the legitimate rights of the parties to foreign-related marriage." After thinking about it for a while, Ye Kai finally put forward his own suggestion, "Letting go is a trivial matter, it is very simple, but protecting the rights of the parties in accordance with the law is the most important thing." ”

Ye Ziping listened and nodded, feeling that his son was reasonable.

He Qing looked at Ye Kai and said secretly in her heart, Ye Kai's suggestion pointed to the crux of the problem, and it seemed to be a bit of a doorway.
