After obtaining their divorce certificates, the two opened them for a glance before holding hands and heading to the marriage registration window. They handed over their ID cards, household registration books, and the freshly obtained divorce certificate, saying, "Excuse me, could you please give us a marriage application form?" The husband said. Around them, curious eyes followed their actions. After fulfilling the relevant procedures, the young couple received their new marriage certificate, which had an identical cover and photo as the one they had received just days ago. The only difference was that the marriage registration date was February 14, 2012. This peculiar request from the young couple left everyone present puzzled. "We mainly did this to choose a good day for our wedding," the husband explained. He had known his wife for over a year, and this year they planned to hold a wedding ceremony. Before the wedding, they consulted a friend to select an auspicious day for their marriage. The friend told them that according to their birth charts, getting married after the Start of Spring in the Year of the Dragon would bring great fortune and longevity to their relationship. However, a few days ago, when they first received their marriage certificate, they realized they had miscalculated the date and ended up registering before the Start of Spring. The next day, the couple visited the marriage registration office hoping to amend the registration date on their marriage certificate. However, according to regulations, the date on the marriage certificate cannot be changed. The only solution was to divorce and then reapply for a marriage certificate. "When we informed them that the date on the marriage certificate couldn't be changed, they left. We didn't expect them to return today for a divorce," the staff member recalled. They even tried to counsel the couple, explaining that happiness in life has no relation to the registration date. After receiving the new marriage certificate, the couple quickly departed, unwilling to disclose their names. It was learned that both were part of the post-80s generation. Their unconventional behavior sparked much discussion. Due to the couple's insistence on divorcing and remarrying, the staff had no choice but to follow the rules: "Marriage is free, as long as both parties agree to divorce, we must process it." Wang Wengang, head of the grassroots government section at Taiyuan Civil Affairs Bureau, explained: "According to the Marriage Law, marriage is free. Whether it's marriage or divorce, as long as both parties consent voluntarily, it can be processed without specific regulations stating how long one must wait to remarry after a divorce." Since 2003, the requirement for a workplace certification for divorce has been abolished, simplifying both marriage and divorce procedures. To get married, one only needs to show their ID card and household registration book; for divorce, one needs to show their ID card, household registration book, and marriage certificate; for remarriage, one needs to show their ID card, household registration book, and divorce certificate. Simplified procedures are meant to provide convenience, yet many people have become more casual about marriage. "Some people hastily marry for a good day, there have been cases of divorce on the same day of marriage, but this is the first time I've encountered a case of divorce and remarriage on the same day," Wang Wengang remarked. Such behavior does not violate any rules but isn't recommended. "Every day we receive many people for marriage and divorce registrations. Regardless of the registration date, it won't affect their lives. Therefore, we hope everyone doesn't concentrate registrations on so-called good days, and all should approach marriage rationally," said the staff at the Wanbailin District Marriage Registration Office. Report by Wang Ye. Newlyweds who requested divorce followed by remarriage, although it complies with regulations, isn't encouraged. "Hello, if we file for divorce today, can we also remarry today?" At 9 AM, at the Wanbailin District Marriage Registration Office, a question from a young couple drew everyone's attention. "What do you mean?" the staff asked, thinking they might have misunderstood. "We want to first file for divorce and then get married again today," the couple confirmed. Around 4 PM, the couple held hands and arrived at the Wanbailin District Marriage Registration Office. They had already updated their marital status at the police station. At the divorce registration window, they presented their ID cards, household registration books, and marriage certificates, filling out the divorce application forms. "Are you sure? Is this voluntary?" the staff asked one last time as they submitted their divorce application. Both replied, "Yes." Soon, a divorce certificate was issued. "Today is Valentine's Day, why would you choose to divorce today?" the reporter asked. "We aren't choosing to divorce today, we're choosing to marry today. Divorce first, then remarry, changing the marriage certificate date to February 14th," the husband explained. "Is the date on the marriage certificate really that important?" the reporter inquired further. "Of course it is, who wouldn't want a lucky start for their marriage?" the husband firmly responded. "Do you think it's lucky to divorce on Valentine's Day?" Faced with the reporter's question, the couple refused to answer. However, during the divorce procedures, since they had been married for a short period, their marital status on the household registration book hadn't been updated to married. The staff informed them that they needed to go to the police station to update their marital status before proceeding with the divorce certificate. With their materials in hand, the couple reluctantly left the marriage registration office. "Isn't it unlucky to divorce right after marriage?" "Wouldn't divorcing and remarrying make it a second marriage?" "Are these two joking?"... As soon as the couple left, the onlookers began discussing fervently. "I completely don't understand, even though everyone hopes for luck, this seems a bit excessive," Mr. Wang, who was handling his marriage registration, said. "After all, marriage is a lifetime event, paying attention to timing is understandable, better safe than sorry," Ms. Li Xiaoting, who was also handling her marriage registration, said. On February 14th, Valentine's Day, many newlyweds chose to marry on this day for good luck and a meaningful anniversary. However, one married couple, for good fortune, decided to change their marriage date to February 14th by divorcing and then remarrying on the same day. Immediately after obtaining their divorce certificate, they proceeded to remarry.
