Bill: Religious rights act 4169
Details
Submitted by[?]: Israist National Party (INP)
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: December 4169
Description[?]:
| To support the rights of our Israist majority, and their right to pursue their religion in Talmoria. It is worth noting, that teacher led prayers are not mandatory according this law, and all schoolgoers have freedom to not participate in common prayers. However, this article makes easier to all willing young Talmorians to pursue their religion. After this law, the state also recognizes only marriages according to Israist doctrine. However, law does not restrict the lives of couples who are not member of state religion. They can continue their relationship as usual. Also homosexual relationships mentioned in this law are not actively prosecuted, so all minorities can continue their free lives. However, as homosexual relationships are no longer recognized, they can't i.e. get married. |
