Divorce & Infidelity In Your Nation...

Postby The Draemon States » Wed Jul 29, 2015 9:28 am

How does your nation handle it?


In The Draemon States, divorce is prohibited, except for the reason of infidelity. However, once divorced, you can not marry again until the death of your ex-spouse. Civil Divorce, however, remains legal as long as there is any valid reason.

Murdering your ex-spouse warrants the death penalty in The Draemon States.

Infidelity is a crime in The Draemon States. You can be sentenced to flogging. Further offenses increases your lash counts and can convert to imprisonment.

Termination of marriage may be granted by a competent government official. A reason must be provided, though any stock reason will do.

Marriage and family being obsolete and non-existent concepts, and relationships being limited largely to ones of casual sex, things like divorce or infidelity aren't really an issue among Sidhae.

For those Sidhae who do choose to enter committed relationships, infidelity is handled however they see fit. Mind that cheating on a Sidh partner and getting discovered can be quite hazardous to health - infidelity, being a form of personal betrayal, is legitimate grounds for a challenge to single combat, both against the unfaithful partner and whoever seduced him/her.

For this reason, few Sidhae have the gall to cheat after entering a committed relationship, which in itself is somewhat unusual.
Freedom doesn't mean being able to do as one please, but rather not to do as one doesn't please.

A fool sees religion as the truth. A smart man sees religion as a lie. A ruler sees religion as a useful tool.

People in the Empire can do whatever they want, but cheating on ones partner is frowned upon and can carry repercussions in the courts if things go in that direction.

Divorce and infidelity are legal in Herjtovina; however, infidelity usually causes public shaming of the cheater and ho they cheated with as well as other social stigmas for getting a divorce.

Divorce is only legal in cases of adultery or if one of the partners is not a Christian.

If one of the partners commits adultery, the innocent party may divorce and immediately remarry. The adulterer is forever forbidden from marriage.

It's illegal to marry a non Christian, though if one is married to a non Christian at the time of their conversion, they may choose to divorce or keep married. If one abuses (neglect, beating, abandonment, &) their partner, than that may be used as evidence that they aren't truly born again, thus permitting the abused party to divorce and immediately remarry.

Both marriage & remarriage are technically discouraged, though they're permitted since most people haven't the gift of abstinence. In fact, Elders are actually required to marry & produce children, so they can demonstrate leadership in the family to prove they can lead the Assembly. Prophets traditionally do not marry, though they are allowed to.

The Central and Provincial Governments agreed that Marriage is a personal and religious issue between two consenting parties, and the Governments should remain out of marriage.

Considering our leader actually has committed extramarital sex before, there's no reason why both should be legal. And don't worry, my waifu was perfectly fine with it, as she does the same thing.

Divorce and infidelity is highly illegal in the Great Zhouranese Empire of the Sun, and anyone who conducts such immoral act shall face severe consequences.

Marriage is important to the relationship between a man and a woman. Not only do married couples stay with each other even after death, but they also reproduce to create more soldiers and workers, therefore contributing greatly to the empire and its massive space-mongering warmachine.

In World Empire marriage is for life. Infidelity or Polygamy is illegal and punishable.

However in some cases people are divorced by the state, the person responsible for the divorce is punished for the reasons why the forced divorcement took place.

In cases of:

    * Infidelity
    * Polygamy
    * Child abuse
    * Domestic Violence
    * Negligence

Citizens of our Empire know very well what the punishments are for breaking these laws.
Besides that forced marriage is also illegal so people only marry each other out of love.

'Marriage' in Brellach (though it is not called such, and is nowhere near as formal) can be polygamous or monogamous, temporary or permanent, closed or open, and such details are left entirely to the whims of those people in the relationship to decide.

Divorce is for the most part forbidden, however the church may permit an annulment in cases such as infidelity or spousal abuse. But these take years to be granted and extensive evidence must be presented for the case of annulment.

Divorce is legal and a relatively common occurance. Approximately 1 in 3 marriages are expected to end in divorce by the 20th wedding anniversary (the divorce rate falls substantially after this, however).

Infidelity is again legal but deeply frowned upon in Northumbrian culture. In a society that highly prizes honesty and loyalty, breaking your marriage vows to be faithful to the person you're marrying is considered deeply disrespectful. That said, it is not illegal to be unfaithful to your husband or wife. It can be grounds for divorce.

Divorce is legal but rare, about 1 in 200 marriages end with a divorce with a spouse leaving a line marriage. Lines completely dissolving in a divorce are almost unheard of, because if at least 2 persons in the line choose to remain married the line will survive.

We have no concept of infidelity , and people are free to have romantic liaisons outside of their marriage, and if the object of affection is unmarried it is expected that they will eventually marry into the line of their lover.

Romantic liaisons between people married into different lines are reasonably common, and sometimes this will lead to the merging of two line marriages.

One night stands are also common and generally accepted.

Divorce is able to be granted through a province court. We do not have much restriction on it. However, if settlement is requested it becomes a much longer process.

In the Victory Corporation, divorce is legal and allowed, and may be forced upon a couple by the government if a relationship results in multiple cases of domestic violence or other crimes. Infidelity is discouraged, though entirely legal. If one member of a marriage feels that the relationship is not going well, they are encouraged to get a divorce and make a relationship with the other person instead.

Divorce is legal here, and infidelity, while not illegal, can be used as a reason for divorce; so both are legal here.
