In November last year, Sichuan officially implemented an optimized policy for marriage and maternity leave. The new regulations stipulate that legally registered couples can enjoy 20 days of marriage leave, with an additional five days for those who undergo pre-marital medical check-ups before registration. The "extended marriage leave" sparked discussions. So, can couples who divorce and remarry still enjoy 20 days of marriage leave? Recently, Sichuan authorities officially replied: No. As for couples who divorce and remarry, can both parties still take marriage leave? The answer to this question may vary in different provinces.
