Does YN support polygamy?

Postby Omii » Mon Aug 29, 2016 5:12 pm

What does your nation support in marriages and couples? Is it regulated or part of a manuscript?

In The Incorporated States of Omii, Single-spousal marriages and single-member couples are most common, but most types of marriage are permitted, including homosexual and polygamous marriages.

The state does not recognize polygamous, foreign, or religious unions.

The only type of union recognized are those registered with the civil authority and between one husband and one wife, but neither role is gender-specific.

In Nouvel Acadie, government does not recognize the concept of marriage; it is exclusively an ecclesiastical function that has no legal effect.

What the nation does recognize are Economic Household Units (EHUs), which may be comprised of multiple people (two spouses with or without children, but also mother-daughter, brother-sister, and unrelated households) that seek to establish a legal status in terms of rights and responsibilities.

Having said that, the vast majority of Acadiens are in opposite-sex, two-person relations, although there are a significant number of gay and lesbian households, as well as some triads and polyamorous households.

One minority group, the Bratzul, who represent about 5% of the population, characteristically are polygamous households with a single male and two or more females.

We support polygamy for gentlesirs of honor, but they cannot get out of the friendzone, so they cannot even have monogamy.

For normies, we discourage polygamy and monogamy, but the Chads get all the m'ladies. Our researchers are still working on a solution to this state of affairs.
Ask us anything!

Our state, the League of the Six Free Peoples, is actually controlled by a cartel of neckbeards known as La Cosa Fedora. Members of the cartel are known as Honorable Gentlesirs. Citizens who are not members are known as normies.

It's not really regulated, against, or supported; the government has a neutral say on this matter, so polygamic marriages do exist.

The Church of Nortend does not allow polygamy. Banns are posted and read up to a month before marriage to prevent them. Furthermore, one cannot be married again if one is already married and all marriages that may occur whilst one is still married are unbinding and never valid. Polygamy is a crime under canon and common law, and carries the maximum punishment of gaol for less than ten years.

Polygamy is a violation of the One Christian Faith, as seen by many different theologians and individuals within both the Church and the greater Empire. Because of this, the Holy Roman Empire does not official sanction nor support polygamy.

Dameth does not recognize the validity of any kind of marriage. The state does not hold the right to validate this kind of contract, and private related mariage like contracts are often seen as null and void by the state courts. Provincial court may however vary on that issue depending on their culture and practicality.

We keep things simple and do not support or recognize any kind of marriage. A civilization of cyborgs have no use for such obsolete institutions.

All types of marriages not including a human below 12 is legal. Yes, it means that you can marry your worn-out couch. It's not as a joke, either; it's legally-binding.

Official marriages are limited to two people and each person can have only one marriage at a time. Adults can be housemates with as many other adults as they please, and the nature of their relationships is up to the people involved, but at most only one of their housemates can be their legal spouse.

To simplify the tax code, marriage can only be between two consenting adults. However, the Heradorian Government can care less what couples do outside of that, you want to make a 50 person cuddle puddle? Do you man, you do you.

The Government is officially in support of Polygamy, and polygamous marriages are fairly common in the country, but their amount is not comparable to the amount of monogamous marriages. There is no official maximum amount of individuals that can be in a polygamous marriage, and any person of any of the numerous gender identities recognized by the government can be legally wed with any number of any other individuals by the same guidelines.

Legal marriage is limited to only two persons, but outside of marriage, the government doesn't care how many partners you have at once.

The government recognises polygamy, "for the sake of the religious in the other Leanbox," as Lady Neptune put it. Rule of thumb: If the relationship can work out, especially economically, go ahead, marry.

We do mostly for religious accommodation reasons, although religious belief is not a prerequisite for getting it. But in a sense, we make it very hard: a polygamist can only marry one spouse at a time, must obtain the consent of all existing spouses (if the mandatory prenuptial agreement does not have an exclusion clause), and must renegotiate the prenuptial (if allowed) in case the consenting spouses nonetheless have concerns about the status and division of marital property (and especially in the case of a "marriage merger" where two existing partnerships combine into one).
