Marriage Act 2026 in force
Two holders of Digital Passports, each in their own account, may marry within the Union. One proposes by invitation link or Member ID; the other accepts from their own account, with their passport or a new one paid for by the proposer. Each approves the marriage agreement of separate property: each spouse keeps what they own and earn, before and during the marriage, with no claim on the other's property or income. The Certificate of Marriage costs 0.005 BTC and includes the agreement; dissolution by either spouse is free. The marriage is recognised within the Union and has no effect on civil status under the law of any state.
