Is it illegal for unmarried men and women to open a house? Is it okay to open a hotel room without getting married?

It is not illegal to share a room without marriage. Many couples are not married, but make an appointment to travel together, so they often consider whether to share a room, but they are not sure whether it is suitable. After all, there is no marriage certificate. The following is a detailed introduction for you.

Hotel check-in registration system

I think everyone has had the experience of traveling or staying in a hotel on business. Looking back, did the front desk ask you to get a marriage certificate? Obviously not.

According to Article 6 of the Measures for the Administration of Public Security in Hotel Industry, hotel reception and accommodation must be registered with real names. China people check in with valid ID cards (mainly ID cards), while foreigners check in with passports.

For hotels without real-name registration, according to Article 56 of the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment, a fine ranging from 200 yuan to 500 yuan will be imposed.

From the perspective of a single check-in registration system, the hotel or legal level only requires real-name registration, and there is no verification requirement for the relationship between the two. You only need to provide your ID card, and you don't need a marriage certificate. From this perspective, even if it is not a husband-and-wife relationship, it does not affect the same room, and the legal level has not stopped it.

In fact, it is not the relationship between two people that breaks the law, but what they do. We can give some examples:

The first case: husband and wife live together.

It is completely legal for husband and wife to live in the same room, which is no different from living at home. However, some behaviors should be avoided. Those who violate the law are suspected of breaking the law, such as engaging in illegal and criminal activities such as taking drugs and spreading obscene articles, or forcibly having sex with one party (this is also the category of rape);

The second case: adults live together without marriage.

Under the relationship of colleagues, friends, classmates, relatives, netizens, etc. As long as both parties are adults, it is no problem to share a room. Even if it is a ward round, as long as two people can tell each other's relevant information, there is no prostitution, gambling and other acts, and it is not illegal.

Even if one or both parties get married (excluding military marriage), sharing the same room will be condemned at most from the moral level, which violates public order and good customs, but it is definitely not illegal.

Of course, in this case, there is also a special case of being suspected of breaking the law or even committing a crime, that is, knowing that the other party is married, but still living with him as husband and wife. For example, two people living in a hotel for a long time are likely to commit bigamy. At this time, it is not simply illegal, but a crime. Of course, the crime of bigamy has nothing to do with the relationship between husband and wife, but with the life of husband and wife.

The third case: sharing a room with a minor.

Sharing a room with a minor is not illegal in itself, as long as the other party's behavior is not out of line, but the following circumstances are suspected of being illegal:

1. The woman is under 14 years old. According to the criminal law, having sex with women under 14 is a crime of rape and should be severely punished.

2. One or both parties are under 16. The "illegal" mentioned here is not illegal for guests, but illegal for hotels or guesthouses: according to relevant regulations, people under the age of 16 can't live alone even if they have ID cards, so they must obtain the consent of their guardians or parties, otherwise the hotel or guesthouse will be suspected of breaking the law. For example, the Regulations on the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency in Jiangsu Province (Revised Draft) stipulates that people under the age of 16 live alone, and the maximum fine is 6,000 yuan.

In addition to the above-mentioned illegal acts involving the lessee as a minor, the following situations are also illegal acts:

3. Destroy the military marriage. Don't think that only cheating or cohabitation can destroy military marriage. In fact, there is another kind of behavior that destroys military marriage, that is, "adultery", that is, knowing that it is the spouse of an active serviceman and committing adultery with him for a long time, resulting in serious consequences such as the breakdown of the relationship between husband and wife, which is also the crime of destroying military marriage. Destroying military marriage is no longer a simple illegal act, but has risen to the level of criminal offence.

4. "Official status". The official positions mentioned here refer to the administrative establishment, career establishment, public participation personnel and state-owned enterprise staff, including party member cadres. Although it is not illegal to share a room with a person who is not in a husband-and-wife relationship in this capacity, if there is anything out of line, you may be punished. "Disciplinary action" includes warning, serious warning, dismissal, dismissal, etc. If you are not careful, you will lose your job.

Then there is a very special situation-"gathering people for fornication." If a man and a woman, a man and a woman live together and commit some "heinous acts", they are suspected of "gathering people for fornication", and the ringleaders will be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years, criminal detention or control.

In addition, it is also illegal and criminal to actually engage in illegal and criminal activities such as prostitution, gambling, drug abuse and dissemination of obscene articles under the protective cloak of "staying overnight".

To sum up: it is not illegal for non-husband and wife to share a room, as long as they do not do anything prohibited by law. At most, it violates public order and good customs and is condemned by the moral level.
