Description[?]:
| Recognizing foreign marriages that don’t comply with the domestic policy is troublesome. There are three primary issues: 1. Forced Marriage - Some countries do not have laws preventing foreign marriages. 2. Domestic Law Circumvention - Some will get married in another country to circumvent the domestic laws. 3. Underage Marriage - Some countries allow marriage to minors, which often ends in abuse and other issues. There is no reason to allow marriages that do not comply with our common-sense laws. |

| Message | Marriages that have happened in foreign countries should be recognized. Countries that have marriages according to their marriage laws should be respected. If a person from a foreign nation moves to Likatonia, and gets married here, they will have to abide by the Likatonian marriage laws. |

| Message | If you move to this country, you agree to comply with all the laws this country has. Why should marriage be any different? |
