| Message | Opposed. We don't need to be recongizing the marriage of people who were married off at 6 in some random country. |
| Date | 22:46:28, March 12, 2007 CET | From | Liberal Tukarali Democratic Party | To | Debating the Marriage Act of 2372 |
| Message | Why should we say to a couple who moved here and has been married for 20 years but were married in the Selucian Empire that now your marriage is null and you will have to be remarried |

| Message | They have to comply with our laws. That doesn't mean it's automatically void. We still recognize foreign marriage. |

| Message | OOC: A RW example of this is Israel they will recognize same-sex marriages performed in other nations even though they are not allowed to be performed here. IC: This will give a loop hole for those who can not marry the one they love due to legislation of Tukarali. If same-sex marriages were outlawed here this la would still leave a window of oppurtunity open to people in that perdicament or a similar case. |

| Message | A couple that married abroad does not have to re-marry, their marriage isn't null & void. Even same-sex mariages are allowed as they are recognised here. Therefore I see no real problem. And allowing just anything would leave the door open for extremities like marriages between children, or people marrying their pets.. (OOC: I once heared a story about in the news about some Indian marrying her dog or something alike) |

| Message | Greenish is right. If people should be allowed to be married we should make it legal, like with homosexuality. A fourty year old should not be able to marry a 6 year old though... |

| Message | That is a good point. I did not think that one through we will oppose. |
