Marriage contract

In the Union, marriage between two or more individuals is formalized in a cerimony where the participants in the marriage either sign a contract or sign an amendment to an existing one. This can be done as part of a public cerimony that celebrates the marriage contract being signed, or in private with only the participants of the wedding present.

This contract spells out the type of marriage in regards to the number of individuals involved (two or more ), the "openess" of the marriage, the relative position between the partners(equals or one dominating another )

It also specifies a time limit for the Marriage contract to be valid, and what is to happen with goods acquired by the marriage partners as well as any kids (existing or potential.)

As long as all partners in the marriage agree, just about anything in the contract can suffer amendments, although other than extending the duration of the contract, in many cases it woulb be simpler to end the original and start a new one.
