"Xiao Min Jia" mentioned the finale, netizens could not sit still: can Chen Jiajia and Jin Jiajun get married in the future?

Modern Express News (reporter Liu Yun) Recently, the TV series "Xiao Minjia" was on fire. In the play, Chen Zhuo, played by Huang Lei, and Liu Xiaomin, played by Zhou Xun, each experienced a failed marriage, experienced various tribulations, and finally came together, and the warm and firm middle-aged love of the two made many netizens call "on the head". In the play, Chen Zhuo's daughter Chen Jiajia and Liu Xiaomin's son Jin Jiajun also developed a good feeling for each other in contact and began to fall in love. In the face of such a complex emotional line, some netizens can't help but issue a "soul torture": "After Chen Zhuo and Liu Xiaomin got married, didn't Chen Jiajia and Jin Jiajun become brothers and sisters?" Will they be able to get married later? Can the law allow it? ”

In addition to the recent fire of "Xiao Min Jia", there are also careful netizens who found that there was a similar plot in a TV series "Home, N Power" in 2011. In the play, Wen Nan, played by Song Dandan, and Xue Maoxiang, played by Zhao Baogang, are also reorganized families, and after the two remarry, Wen Nan's son Chu Mu and Xue Maoxiang's daughter Xue Zhili know and love each other. After Wen Nan and Xue Maoxiang learned of this, they decided to divorce Chu Mu and Xue Zhili. But Chu Mu and Xue Zhili couldn't bear to let them separate, and finally the two decided to break up.

So, can the children of a remarried couple get married? Is it only in the case of divorce between husband and wife that children can be licensed?

Lu Jinyan, a lawyer at Jiangsu Zhongshan Mingjing Law Firm, said that in fact, there is no explicit prohibition on the marriage of children of remarried couples in China's existing laws. Article 1048 of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China states that marriage is prohibited from being directly related by blood or by collateral blood relatives within three generations. For the situation of Chen Jiajia and Jin Jiajun in the play "Xiao Min Jia", when Chen Zhuo and Liu Xiaomin remarried, Chen Jiajia and Jin Jiajun were both adults, and the two were neither related by blood nor formed a relationship with Liu Xiaomin and Chen Zhuo, but only an in-law relationship, which did not belong to the category of marriage prohibited in the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China, so the two could marry in the future.

In the view of Li Weilong, a senior partner at Jiangsu Xingao Law Firm, in "Home, N Power", Chu Mu and Xue Zhili want to get married and need Wen Nan and Xue Maoxiang to divorce, which should be set up due to the needs of the development of the PLOT of the TV series, and is not in line with reality. Li Weilong said that even when the parents remarry, the children are not yet underage and grow up together, and the support relationship between the step-parents and the stepchildren is formed, which is a pseudo-blood relative and can also be married. "This TV series was broadcast 11 years ago, when the Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China was used, whether it was the Marriage Law or the Civil Code, which only prohibited the marriage of direct blood relatives or collateral blood relatives within three generations. That is to say, the children of remarried couples can actually get married, and there is no need for parents to dissolve the marriage relationship, but many people may not fully agree with it morally. ”
