Bill: IP Foreign Marriages Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Imperialist Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: November 2375
Description[?]:
| Foreign marriages should only be recognized within this country if they meet with domestic law. I do not believe that marriages that are 1. incestuous, 2. polygamous, or 3 that violate the age of sexual consent should be condoned, simply because some other, less civilized nation has it as law. |
