Foreign media: In the first three quarters of 2025, the number of marriage registrations in China increased by 8.5% year-on-year, reaching 5.15 million couples, up from 4.75 million couples in the same period last year.
This growth is mainly attributed to new policies, such as relaxing marriage registration restrictions, allowing couples to register their marriage nationwide without providing a household registration book.
In addition, local governments have introduced a series of measures to encourage marriage, including extending wedding leave, offering cash rewards, and coupons. Despite this, experts believe that due to the continuous decline in the proportion of young people, the number of marriage registrations will still decrease in the long term.
