Legal Interpretations and Judicial Science in Post-socialist China: The Case of the Marriage Law

(Co-sponsored with the Institute of Advanced Studies)

Laws, regulation, and state agents create and enforce the rules by which individuals understand and experience their marriages. In the case of the Chinese party-state, the grasp has been both firm and directive and each of the three versions of the Marriage Law has been integral to the party-state’s broader project to create a modern nation and a new type of Chinese citizen. Over several decades the intended scope of the three Marriage laws have shifted as the party-state reassessed its understanding of the institution of marriage, the conflation of sexuality and marriage, and the relative strength of conjugal and family property rights. Most recently, legal and administrative documentsreveal a contradictory stance where the party-state defers to litigant’s choice when regulating marital sexuality and conjugal property but leaves regulation of marital fertility ultimately in the hands of the state.
