Greetings to All !! This topic is sparked primarily from my own personal history; which includes mine and my Lady's upcoming celebration of our 40th Wedding Anniversary. ( already presented @ the NEWS ) Which got me to thinking..... I know that a good per-cent of the micronational leaders are minors ( with respect / regards to age ), but there are quite a few who are "of-age"; which begs me to ask the question(s): - How many micronationalist are married ?
- How many micronationalist are divorced and remain single ?
- How many micronationalist are divorced and re-married ?
- How many micronationalist are single ?
This topic is not meant to impose on anyone's personal life history; merely meant to allow those who wish to, to express his or her current status with regards to the subject of marriage. Also....."common marriage" could / should be included within the general definition of the word "marriage"; as today, in the world in which we live, living arrangements are diverse. ( not passing judgement...merely expressing a fact-of-life ) Regards to All !! _____________

I've had the honour of celebrating several Formori weddings in the past. Recently I've been asked about the Formori divorce procedure...

I neglected to point-out...that marriage could / should include both..."macro" and "micro" laws, customs, and traditions; as there are several MicroGovts that do have such protocols / practices in place, and have exercised / executed laws of marriage in the past.......even if only respected and accepted as an "internal" affair / event.

I'll add this here just for informational purposes: The United Micronations Multi-Oceanic Archipelago (UMMOA) takes no position on marriage. We honour people who are married in a de facto, not de jure way, since there are no formal UMMOA residents, and thus no applicable jurisdiction. We do have two couples who are married, and whose spouses are both UMMOA nationals. Independent Long Island (ILI) also takes no position on marriage. Like the UMMOA, we honour people who are married in a de facto, not de jure way. In this case, however, it is possible to have de jure recognition if the couple has registered their residential dwelling with the Jamaica Square, ILI municipality, and the marriage document was officially recognised by the MPR or CILI (at least one spouse must be a professional). As a City of New York Registered Marriage Officiant, I can marry any heterosexual couple in either New York City or New York State (statutory, not common-law marriage). As the legal Bishop of the Cesidian Church, I can also marry Jamaica Square residents, who happen to also be Cesidians. This could be a couple, but does not necessarily have to be (i.e., it could be a trio or quattro). I cannot guarantee that the Jamaica Square, ILI marriage license will be honoured by other authorites, however.
