On August 21, 2020, the Yangtze Evening News published a news report that an unmarried woman named "Shang Shang" (her real name is Shang Moumou, hereinafter still referred to as Shang Shang Shang) and her boyfriend went to the marriage registration authority to register their marriage, only to find out that they had five marriage registration records, and that they still had no acquaintance with the five men. The photos, fingerprints, and signatures in the marriage registration were all counterfeit. Shang Shang has been on the move to apply to the relevant marriage registration authorities to cancel the marriage registration of an impostor. The civil affairs bureaus of the two places have cancelled the wrong marriage registration on their own, and the other two places have been revoked by court decisions. However, the marriage registration issue in Zoucheng City, Shandong Province, has been delayed and cannot be resolved.

After reading the report, the relevant person in charge of Beijing Gaopeng (Yangzhou) Law Firm (hereinafter referred to as Gaopeng (Yangzhou)) decided to form a service team that night with Deputy Director Han Qiaohong and Lawyers Wang Qian and Gao Yu from the Marriage and Family Law Department to provide legal assistance to Shang Shang.

On October 21, 2020, Gaopeng (Yangzhou) Office received a judgment from the People's Court of Zoucheng City confirming that the marriage relationship between the third person Meng and Shang Shang was not established. Upon receiving the judgment, the lawyer team immediately forwarded it to Shang Shang, and drafted an application to cancel the marriage registration records involved in the case and sent it to the Marriage Registration Office of Zoucheng City. Subsequently, the lawyer actively contacted relevant departments to urge the timely deletion of incorrect marriage registration information.

On November 16th, Shang Shang finally achieved his long-cherished wish and successfully obtained a marriage certificate from the local marriage registration department with the retrial judgment issued by the People's Court of Zoucheng City.

The Yangzi Evening News and Ziniu News conducted a follow-up report on the matter.

During the process of representing Gaopeng (Yangzhou) in this case, it was found that the case involved many legal issues that were worth studying. Therefore, the Administrative Law Business Committee of Yangzhou Lawyers Association, the Civil Business Committee of Yangzhou Lawyers Association, and Gaopeng (Yangzhou) will invite leaders, experts, and practitioners engaged in marriage registration from all walks of life to hold a public welfare seminar on the 22nd of this month to study and discuss relevant legal issues, At that time, we will conduct follow-up reports.
