论华侨领事婚姻之法律适用——以中外双边领事条约(协定)为视角

On the application of the law about the Consul marriage——an Analysis In the perspective of Sino-foreign bilateral consular treaties

目前没有任何法律明确界定"领事婚姻"的概念,学界各种文献资料中对"领事婚姻"概念表述也不尽一致,整体而言存在两点表述的模糊:第一,就结婚登记的对象而言,并没有明晰"是否结婚当事人双方都为本国公民"还是"仅一方为本国公民"即可?第二,只强调了驻在国法律的许可,并没有明确办理领事婚姻应当依据的法律。作为中国领事保护华侨权益的直接依据,中外双边领事条约(协定)对领事婚姻有若干规定,但其规定过于简单抽象并且各双边领事条约之间的规定不尽相同,不足于明确据以确定领事婚姻的法律适用及其主体之权利义务,应从"规范表述明确概念"、"明确适用法律"、"厘定适用法律范围"、"界定驻在国法律的强制性规则"等角度来予以完善。

The concept of ＂Consul Marriage＂ has not been defined by any law in China. The same is, the discussion about ＂Consul Marriage＂ from the academia varied from individual to individual . While the fussy theories have two defects in common： the one is the lose of definition about the subject of the Consul marriage, the other is the defection of the stipulation of the application of the law. As the direct grounds of the Consular protection by Chinese consul , the rules of ＂Consul marriage＂ in the Sino-foreign bilateral consular treaties also has the above two defects l thus they cannot guide the practice the Consular protection about the right of marriage of Overseas Chinese. In order to perfect the stipulations of Consul Marriage in the Sino-foreign bilateral consular treaties, the concept should be clarified and the subject and the application of law should be expressed clearly, etc.
