Desmosthenes and Burke wrote:The Turkmen Emirate wrote:“Why, even with co-spouses not married to each other, can the law not say in the this case, the wealth would be divided into thirds: one third for each co-spouse and one third for their mutual spouse?”
The Lyricalian ambassador has replied adequately, but just to point out, the law you describe is, also, arguably inequitable in the sense that any wealth I work towards is not shared just with whom I chose to marry, but also with anyone else THEY chose to marry, possibly regardless of my feelings on the matter. The Roman Republic considers this to be manifestly unjust as compared to a group marriage model requiring the consent of all spouses. Although we still believe that the organization of the family unit is, largely, a subject best left to the sound discretion of member states to legislate on in accordance with the societal mores and structures that are particular to them.
“Ok. I will add in a provision about how this shall not be construed of interfering with the ability of states to require the consent of existing spouses.”
