That is, an invalid marriage, which is not protected by law, must comply with the substantive and formal elements stipulated in the Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China*** and the State of China, otherwise it does not have the effect of a legal marriage.

(3) The legal consequence of the act of marriage is that it establishes the relationship between the two parties as husband and wife. And to assume the responsibilities, rights and obligations arising therefrom. Such established conjugal relationship is not entitled to be dissolved by any entity, individual or both spouses without legal procedures.
