Interracial marriage in your nation?

Postby Hoglanderna » Tue Jun 11, 2013 12:13 pm

What is your nation's policy on interracial marriage? When did it first become an issue?

In Hoglanderna, interracial marriage has been fully legal since 1958. Prior to the 1950s, minorities were not large enough for this to become an issue.

Of course they can marry. Black humans can marry White humans. Interracial marriages among ponies are relatively common.

Interracial marriage was banned for Spanish Llanitos, Scots, Irish, Arabs and Indians between 1953 and 1961 when we gained independence.

It is not frowned upon due to all ethnic groups being of similar size and most people being mixed race.

There's no reason why we would ban such a thing, but there aren't large enough non-Caucasian minorities other than the indigenous people for it to become a serious issue. Although the indigenous people hate everyone who isn't one of them.

If interracial marriage were illegal in Tsvarchi then literally nobody could get married... literally no one.

Suffice to say, it is quite legal.

For much of Geadish history, it was illegal for marriages to take place between Orthodox Christians and other Christians, or between Christians and non-Christians. After the schism of the church in the late 18th century, some of the restrictions were removed, but Christians (including atheists, who were considered to be Christian for legal purposes) still couldn't marry people of other religions. In 1882, interfaith marriage was fully legalised and remains so today.

Interracial marriage, on the other hand, has never been illegal, as Geadland was an ethnically homogenous nation until the second half of the 20th century.

Mama says there's nothing wrong with Children of different elements breeding.

[Mama adds: My Children are divided into five different racial groups that they call "elements". Supposedly, in ancient times, there was a lot of animosity between the various elements, and interracial unions were almost unheard of. It was folly like this that contributed to the Psychic Wars that nearly destroyed them. Since I came on the scene, I've taught my Children over the generations that there's no stigma associated with sexual relations with a Child of a different element. Interracial breeding is still uncommon among my Children, but it does occur. Currently about 40% of my Children are "mixed element".]

Neither marriage nor race has any legal status in the Lojbo Empire. Interracial relationships are perfectly legal, as is interracial sex (provided both participants can and do legally consent), the rearing of interracial children, etc.

We never had a slave class marked out by the hue of their skin, so "race", in the sense you seem to mean it, has never really been a concept in Eahland. Closest-equivalent terms apply either to much smaller groupings - tribes or nationalities, like the Eahlcynn, the Afaleonene, the Norþmenn - or to much larger groupings - species, like humans, wolves, ravens. We don't have any categorization that would include all of the Eahlcynn, the Afaleonene, and the Norþmenn (all of whom are pale-skinned folk), but exclude the swarthy folk from Amazonia or the Uttermost West or the New World.

Interspecies marriage is impossible, because only humans are able to swear a binding oath. Intertribal marriage is totally unremarkable.

Marriages between Earth Ponies, Pegasi and Unicorns are very, very rare, but they've been known to happen. Although distinct species, the three races of Pony can interbreed, and every once in a while a Pony of one race will give birth to a foal of another. It's considered a remarkable event, but there's nothing improper about it.

Interracial marriage has and always be legal. Originally such unions were frowned upon by the general population as was usually of many colonial populations during the time period. However upon the declaration of war against the English Empire, the Republic was desperate for manpower and looked to the natives and foreigners to solve their problems. Other ''races'' were recruited into the Grand Army of the Republic in great numbers and in the aftermath they returned to Gaveria and received a new level of respect and social admittance that they had never before experience.

Afterwords, in a speech by President William Steinbach summed up Gaverian Domestic Policy by saying, '' In the aftermath of the great conflict, The Republic can do only one thing and one thing only, rebuild. And the only way to rebuild is for every Gaverian, Black or White, Spanish or German must work together so the whole may prosper. And the rebuilding must start from the heart, from the home and from the family.''

So to sum it up in laymans terms, It is and continues to be an active domestic policy of the republic for Racial mixing through marriage to be encouraged. This is facilitated by regulating the settlement of arriving immigrants so as to limit their concentrations in the urban areas and to mix them with other non-homogeneous communities.
