Is the marriage leave 3 days, 13 days or 18 days?

Every year during the National Day holiday, it is a peak period for marriage. For couples, there is a question that is of great concern: how many days is the duration of marriage leave?

3 days! Many people will answer like this. Indeed, according to the current national law, marriage leave is uniformly 3 days.

But in many places, the number of days of marriage leave has increased. For example, the Amendment to the Beijing Municipal Population and Family Planning Regulations amends Article 16 to read: "Couples who register their marriages in accordance with the law shall, in addition to enjoying the marriage leave prescribed by the State, increase their leave by seven days." The Amendment to the Shanghai Municipal Population and Family Planning Regulations adjusts the 7 days of late marriage leave to "citizens who marry in accordance with the provisions of the law, in addition to enjoying the marriage leave stipulated by the state, increase the marriage leave by 7 days." The "Regulations on Population and Family Planning of Hebei Province" stipulate that "citizens who register for marriage in accordance with the law shall extend their marriage leave for fifteen days in addition to enjoying the marriage leave prescribed by the state." The "Shanxi Provincial Population and Family Planning Regulations" stipulate that "citizens who have registered their marriages in accordance with the law may enjoy 30 days of marriage leave." ”

These changes occur because on the basis of the marriage leave stipulated by the state, each province can combine the actual local situation and have some "optional actions". As a result, the number of marriage leave days enjoyed by newlyweds in different places is not the same, and the newlyweds in some places will feel unfair.

Recently, many Tianjin netizens have called for "extending Tianjin's marriage leave as a supporting measure for the three-child policy", and Tianjin is currently implementing a 3-day marriage leave policy. The Tianjin Municipal Health Commission replied on September 26 that it has started the revision of the Tianjin Population and Family Planning Regulations and intends to appropriately increase marriage leave, maternity leave and paternity leave.

For the appropriate extension of marriage leave, some netizens believe that marriage is such a major event in life, only giving 3 days of vacation, it is indeed a bit stretched, it is necessary to face up to the expectations of newlyweds for extending marriage and childbirth holidays. The call for an extension of marriage leave deserves attention, but how to extend it for a few days is another problem.

With plenty of time, the newlyweds will be much more relaxed in handling the marriage affairs, but there are also "unevenness without suffering from widowhood". Some people enjoy 13 days, 15 days, 18 days or even longer of marriage leave, while some people only have 3 days of marriage leave, so "uneven hot and cold", as if there is something wrong. Is it more appropriate to have 3, 13 or 18 days of wedding leave? There should be a top-level design.
