Details
Submitted by[?]: Republican Party - Nationalists
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: October 4475
Description[?]:
Madam Speaker, We believe in upholding Baltusian values wherever we can. Our beloved country does not practice such horrid traditions as child marriage or arranged marriages, and we should not let those practices curse our country. As such, we propose that foreign marriages should only be recognized if they comply with our standards. We should not grant legitimacy to child marriages or arranged marriages. We also propose that we no longer recognize polygamous marriages. Polygamous marriages often subject Baltusian women to abuse and isolation, and we think that Baltusian women deserve better. |

Message | Mr Speaker we protest article 1. Members of the PLCA have polygamous marriage without any real problem. We must not be mistaken with the insane cults who pratice forcer marriage for exemple, I can tell that I, Riley Waters, Sabrina Forest, Ophelia Fires and Maxim Freemoon are all legally married to Aloy-Sophie Darklight, yet it is a lot complicated as you know, I had dates and relations with others men.
