Starting mid-February 2023, Sichuan, one of China's most populous provinces with over 83 mln residents, will no longer require marriage to register a newborn baby.
The move eliminates a key hurdle, as proper official registration of newborns is crucial for the children's future.

It still won't grant my partner parental rights or anything like that- but it's progress in the right direction.

@SexyCyborg That's interesting.

Is marriage still required for birth registration in the other provinces? We never had that requirement in the US (births to single mothers were registered as soon as the US started tracking births) so I had no idea any country had such a restriction...
