The minimum age required for marriage to be legal is 21 for males and 18 for females. Same-sex marriage is illegal (we have civil unions though), and so is polygamy.

The minimum age is 18, homosexual marriage is allowed throughout the nation, despite what our nation name might say. Incest is illegal due to the amount of birth defects the offspring has. Polygamy has always been illegal.

Incestuous and polyamorous marriages aren't allowed.
But a very rich woman very often have, within its large mansion or palace, an area reserved for so-called "exclusive lovers".
These areas are called "Afel" ("Area For Exclusive Lovers").
Many foreign observers have compared our costume to the degeneration called "harem", but this was absolutely wrong, because there are many (and big!) differences.

Marriage between men and women is highly anticipated. New families are given government support much more. The minimum age of Marriage is 22. Same-sex marriages don't take place however. If they do, it often ends in Capital Punishment for men, and Re-Hab for women. Despite the gruesome bit's, Marriage in Brillnuck is very high and good.

Enduvas has an amendment in it's constitution addressing marriage.

Constitutional Amendment: The Right to Marry
Today, the 174th Day, 25th Year of Power,
We, the leaders of the U.S.S. of Enduvas, approve the passing, and implementation of, the following legislation:
We realize that the right to marriage, not previously defined in the Constitution of Enduvas, is a basic human right, as it applies to Constitutional Amendment #3 The Right to Love: All Enduvasianuls shall now, and forever, have the right to love, and express said love, to all entities that express love to them.
We hereby amend the Constitution of Enduvas to include Constitutional Amendment #3a The Right to Marriage: All Enduvasianult shall now, and forever, have the right to marry whomever partner(s) they wish on the condition that all parties, in the presence of at least one individual fit to legally grant marriage, be declared to be in a sound state of mind according to current psychological practices, able to understand the terms of marriage before them, and able to clearly consent to the union, regardless of sexuality, gender, or species.
We hereby further amend the Constitution of Enduvas to include Constitutional Amendment #3ai: The Definition of Marriage: Marriage is hereby declared a legal ceremony in that no Enduvasianult shall be denied the ability to marry due to disagreement from religiously affiliated bodies of any kind. This amendment hereby grants Justices, Military Staffs of Colonel (Ground Staff), Captain (Air and Water Staff), and higher, and Tenured or Elected Party Members to legally marry individuals, strictly under the guidelines mentioned in Constitutional Amendment #3a, along with those given the ability through religiously affiliated bodies.
Note: An individual with the necessary qualifications as mentioned in Constitutional Amendment #3ai is not legally able to legally grant marriage for themselves. These individuals must find another individual, with the necessary qualifications, to legally marry them.

Marriage/Mating is taken very seriously in Saurisia, due to the implications of a couple supposed to pair for life. If a marriage ends, then it is viewed as having failed. A typical wedding is typically Pseudo-European in style and customs, with differences depending on the participant(s) religious and other background though several of the minor races and cultures have different styles and customs.

The legal age of marriage is 17 in Laudine (16 with permission of all guardians). Same-sex marriages were legalized in 2005 - all marriages, however, must be between (meaning monogamous) consenting partners (so it is not legally possible to marry an animal, abstraction, or inanimate object), and incestuous marriages are illegal. Marriages confer upon a couple certain tax benefits (largely as part of the state's budding pro-natalist policies) - they needn't be performed in or recognized by a church (though a majority of Laudine is Christian and most marriages do have religious significance for these citizens), but marriage licenses must be filed with the state.

You have to be 18 or over to marry, both people/sapient ponies/person and sapient pony have to be willing, polygamous marriages are not allowed, and divorce is allowed but only with a cause. The person who caused the divorce is punished financially.

Marriage is a religious/cultural institution which the government neither regulates or sanctions. If there is a marriage contract, it is enforces like any other contract. Polygamy, Polyandry, and gay marriage are sanctioned by some religious organizations.

16 is the age of adulthood, but those ages 12-15 could apply to the court for emancipation, and if granted could engage in consentual sex and be party to contracts, so by default could be legally get married.

You may marry at 10 months of age, and two cats can marry, just two. Gender doesn't matter, though couples being both male/female are generally frowned upon by the government. (Highly supported by the actual citizens, though.) Incest is illegal, though.
OP: Felinendia in no way represents my views, but I still don't want to make incest legal there.. Its weird, man.

The United Covenant wrote:In the United Covenant, the marriageable age is 18. Homosexual marriages are legal, but polygamy and incestuous marriages are banned. The procedure for a marriage is usually as follows:

First, the couple goes to a governmental office to fill out some paperwork, making them legal partners. At this point, they can also apply for a larger residence in order to support a family.

What happens afterwards is up to the couple, so long as it doesn't break our nation's laws. Lower class citizens usually have a small gathering of those close to them to celebrate. Higher class citizens usually have large ceremonies to commemorate the marriage, which sometimes have up to a hundred people in attendance.

Divorce in the United Covenant is legal, but strictly controlled, as the United Covenant needs its citizens to support large, healthy families in order to guarantee a new generation of workers.


At 17 years old, a person can be married. Polygamy, incest, and homosexual marriages are illegal.

The actual procedure involves filing paperwork with the Department of the Interior, and the Department of Health. The Department of the Interior ensures that the marriage is not incestuous, polygamous, or homosexual. The Department of Health checks the eugenics registers, and ensures that the couples are compatible with each other (free of disease, low-risk of genetic disease in offspring).

If this is the case, both Departments will sign off on the marriage paperwork, and the Department of the Interior will make arrangements for a larger living space for the family.

In cases of divorce, any children will usually go to the mother.
