As part of this document, significant tightening of responsibility for marrying individuals who have not reached the established marriage age is proposed. A ban on marital unions between relatives on the collateral line is also planned, including:
- uncle and niece;
- mother-in-law and son-in-law;
- cousins, second cousins, and fourth cousins.
Penalties may include fines or corrective labor for up to two years.
The only exceptions will be cases where one of the spouses is an adopted child or has been adopted, provided there is no actual blood relation between the partners.
Currently, the family code prohibits marriages between relatives in the direct ascending and descending lines, as well as between full and half-siblings, and between adoptive parents and adopted children.
