| Message | "The current law is simply a another form of imperialism. We must respect all nations and their forms of marriage, we cannot disallow them simply because they have a different view of marriage than we do. Obviously this would not cover infringements of human rights, that is another matter entirely. But it certainly does not help our standing with other nations if we inform them that legally, in Zardugal, they are a nation of bastards with whores for mothers." -Eugene Heinz-Gerphaldt, Revolutionary Socialist Spokesman for Education and Culture |

| Message | So if a person comes with 10 wives from a foreign country, we should allow that? |
| Date | 03:40:47, December 18, 2007 CET | From | Saiserist League | To | Debating the Freedom of Marriage Act |
| Message | "Yes, if the practice is legal in the nation where the marriage(s) were conducted. The wive(s) would still be entitled to all of the laws in Zardugal, and may file for divorce if such a situation displeases her. Also, the current law denies RECOGNIZING foreign marriages that don't comply with our policy, which, as we've stated, will not win us hearts and minds with differing cultures." -Eugene Heinz-Gerphaldt, Revolutionary Socialist Spokesman for Education and Culture |
