[HIGHLIGHTS] Wedding vows that can be "touched out": For the first time, visually impaired people in my country use accessible format documents to complete marriage registration

On March 12, Ms. Zhang and Mr.

Wang went through the marriage registration procedures at the Marriage Registration Service Center of Xicheng District Civil Affairs Bureau, Beijing, with no barriers. This is the first time in the country that accessible format versions of themarriage registration notice and wedding vows are provided for the visually impaired. The Barrier-free Environment Construction Law will come into effect on September 1, 2023. As my country's first specialized law on the construction of a barrier-free environment, the law clearly stipulates that the country's basic public services use national universal Braille.
