Couples whose marital relations are protected by Chinese law cannot divorce over the Internet, the Ministry of Civil Affairs said on Tuesday.

A message left on consultation platform of the ministry's official website last week asked if it was possible for a couple to get divorced via videolink in case one of them is not in China.

"It's been over four years for us, and due to the (COVID-19) pandemic one of us cannot travel to China at the moment, so can we seal an agreement of divorce over the Internet considering the unusual situation?" the person wrote.

In reply, the ministry pointed out that it's not legal to register a divorce over the Internet, as per China's Civil Code.

"According to the law, a married couple who voluntarily seek a divorce should sign a written agreement of divorce and apply to register their divorce at marriage registration organs in person," the ministry said.

协议离婚可否线上办理?民政部答复:不存在线上办理登记手续

针对网友提出的协议离婚可否线上办理问题,民政部社会事务司近日给出了答复。

5月17日,有网友在民政部网站留言咨询:“疫情期间一方在国外无法回国,协议离婚可否通过本人视频方式线上办理呢?因为疫情原因已经拖了4年多了。可否考虑到现实的社会情况,特事特办呢?我相信这样的情况有很多,恳求有关部门给予老百姓一个解决方法。”

对此,民政部社会事务司5月24日答复称,“根据《中华人民共和国民法典》第一千零七十六条规定:夫妻双方自愿离婚的,应当签订书面离婚协议,并亲自到婚姻登记机关申请离婚登记。不存在线上办理登记手续。”
