Recently, a mother residing in Shenzhen encountered a predicament when she received a message from the Shenzhen Health Commission informing her that she was ineligible for a childcare subsidy due to not having registered her marriage prior to giving birth. This incident has ignited widespread debate among netizens. The mother expressed her bewilderment, as the Guangdong Population and Family Planning Regulations clearly permit the registration of births outside of marriage. In response, the Shenzhen Health Commission clarified that the current policy interprets 'giving birth in accordance with laws and regulations' as being contingent upon a marital relationship. However, they emphasized that specific implementation details are pending the unified deployment by Guangdong Province, and will adhere to the requirements of the province's upcoming unified childcare subsidy application system, scheduled to be launched at the end of August.
