Hotel check-in registration system: Everyone must have had the experience of staying in a hotel while on business or going out. In retrospect, 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 should check in with valid identity documents (mainly ID cards), and foreigners should check in with passports.
For hotels without real name registration, according to the provisions of Article 56 of the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment, a fine of more than 200 yuan and less than 500 yuan shall be imposed.
Judging from the check-in registration system, the hotel or the legal level only requires real-name registration, and does not require verification of the relationship between the two. You only need to provide an ID card, not 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, breaking the law is not the relationship between two people, but what they have done. We can give a few examples:
The first case: it is completely legal for husband and wife to share a room, which is no different from living at home, but some behaviors should be avoided. If it violates the law, it is suspected of breaking the law, such as engaging in illegal and criminal activities such as taking drugs and spreading obscene articles, or forcing one party to have sexual relations with the other party unwillingly (this also belongs to the crime of rape);
The second situation: adults are not married.
Under the relationship of colleagues, friends, classmates, relatives and netizens, as long as both sides are adults, sharing a room is no problem. Even if it is a ward round, it is not illegal as long as the two people can tell each other's relevant information, and there are no acts such as prostitution and gambling.
Even if one or both parties get married (not including military marriage), sharing the same room is at most a moral condemnation, which violates public order and good customs, but it is definitely not illegal.
Of course, in this case, there is also a special case that is suspected of breaking the law or even committing a crime, that is, knowing that the other party is in the marriage relationship, but still living with him in a husband-and-wife relationship. For example, if two people stay in a hotel for a long time and are familiar with the relationship between husband and wife, they are likely to commit bigamy. At this time, it is not a simple violation, but a crime. Of course, the crime of bigamy has nothing to do with non-marital cohabitation, but the husband and wife live together.
The third case: 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 cases are suspected of violating the law:
1. The woman is under 14 years old. According to the criminal law, having sex with a woman under the age of 14 is a crime of rape and a heavier punishment;
2. One or both parties are under 16. The "illegality" mentioned here is not the illegality of staying, but the illegality of hotels or guesthouses: according to relevant regulations, people under the age of 16 cannot stay alone even if they have ID cards, and they must obtain the consent of their guardians or parties, otherwise the hotels or guesthouses will be suspected of violating the law. For example, the Regulations on the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency in Jiangsu Province (Revised Draft) stipulates that the maximum fine for taking in a person under the age of 16 alone is 6,000 yuan.
In addition to the above-mentioned illegal acts involving minors, the following situations are also illegal acts:
3. Destroy the military marriage. Don't think that only cheating or cohabitation can be considered as destroying 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, causing serious consequences such as the breakdown of the relationship between husband and wife, which also belongs to the crime of destroying military marriage. Destroying military marriage is no longer a simple illegal act, but has risen to the level of criminal law, which can be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention.
4. "Official status". The official posts mentioned here refer to administrative establishment, career establishment, public officials, employees of state-owned enterprises, and also cadres in party member. Although it is not illegal for a non-husband and wife to share a room in this capacity, if they act out of line, they may be disciplined. "Disciplinary action" includes warning, serious warning, dismissal for investigation, 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 many women live together and commit some "outrageous 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 engage in illegal and criminal activities such as prostitution, gambling, drug abuse and dissemination of obscene articles under the protective cloak of "occupying seats".
To sum up: it is not illegal for non-husband and wife to share the same room. As long as they do not do things prohibited by law, they will at most violate public order and good customs and be condemned by the moral level.
