Bill: Foreign MarriageBill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Pan-Sekowo Freedom Alliance
Status[?]: defeated
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: June 2530
Description[?]:
| As part of our plan to increase Sekowo's economy, and hopefully solve the poverty crisis, we have endevored to make Sekowo more inviting to foreigners, who will hopefully come and spend their money here. This is a great way to do so, as it makes us an attractive place to for married immigrants, who tend to be older and rich, a prime market for many Sekowan buisnesses |

| Message | If it's not legal in Sekowo, it should not be legal in Sekowo, period. Otherwise we're just encouraging people to jump the border to get whatever kind of marriage they want, and then return here. For example: What if another country allows marriages between people and animals? |

| Message | And what exactly would the problem with that be? |
| Date | 11:26:31, February 10, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the Foreign MarriageBill |
| Message | How would this prevent abusive relationships? A 7 year-old would not very well be an equal partner in a relationship with a 30 year old. |

| Message | Well we could come up with some of neutral regulatory council that would test the psychology of the partners I suppose. |
| Date | 11:57:36, February 10, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the Foreign MarriageBill |
| Message | That would be very expensive, but at least better than this! |
| Date | 16:09:47, February 10, 2008 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Foreign MarriageBill |
| Message | A regulatory council would be waste of spending. We have a culture, we should protect our culture. |
| Date | 17:30:12, February 10, 2008 CET | From | 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō) | To | Debating the Foreign MarriageBill |
| Message | Freedom is more important than culture. |
| Date | 19:41:26, February 10, 2008 CET | From | Free Democratic Party | To | Debating the Foreign MarriageBill |
| Message | I do not, and will never believe, that this country recognising a marriage between a 6 year old girl and a 40 year old man would ever be classed as freedom, a 6 year old girl is not able to consent to a marriage or sex with anyone. |
| Date | 03:25:35, February 13, 2008 CET | From | Peasant Party Of Sekowo | To | Debating the Foreign MarriageBill |
| Message | This is legalizing poligamy. We are against that. |
