| Message | No. This facility makes a mockery of the marriage vows, taken in the presence of God. |
| Date | 13:59:08, December 13, 2005 CET | From | Social Calvinist Unionist Party | To | Debating the divorce |
| Message | Sure. Also, not ALL marriages are taken in the presence of God. Ever hear of Civili Marriages? They aren't just for gay peoples, y'know! |

| Date | 14:03:17, December 13, 2005 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the divorce |
| Message | I don't recognise "registered civil partnerships" as marriages at all. Only the ancient estate of Holy Matrimony should be called 'marriage'. |

| Message | It is up to the religion it's self to decide if they recognise the divorces(and thus not let them be remarried to other people), but for legal things and religions that it would be applied. |
