With the increasing of homeland security and the protection of muggleborns at an all time high, the Ministry has implemented new regulations concerning the marriage of a muggleborn wizard or witch to any pure or halfblooded member of wizarding society. The benefits of a marriage to these two blood types is not to be tampered with or abused and the Ministry has created the Marriage Act to ensure that its laws are being followed as they were initially meant to be.

A quick overview of the Marriage Act:



  • Beginning on October 6th, 1979, Muggleborn wizards and witches who married to pure and halfbloods within the past five years will report to the Ministry for an exam that proves the marriage was made out of commitment to one another and not to violate the protection laws implemented for the benefit of muggleborns.

  • If an exam is failed, the muggleborn wizard or witch in question will be sentenced to prison for a time determined on the duration of the 'marriage' and other surrounding elements. The marriage will be abolished in the eyes of the Ministry. 90% correct answers is required for the exam.

  • Exams will be conducted orally and separately to ensure that cheating does not occur.

  • An exam schedule will be mailed to those in question before Monday, as the exams will occur through the week.



  • SCHEDULE
    Monday: (Last Names) A - E
    Tuesday: F - J
    Wednesday: K - O
    Thursday: P - T
    Friday: U - Z

    So, purebloods are allowed to be matched and betrothed before ever meeting each other, but we're not allowed to actually pick and choose and love our spouses?

    Yes, that makes so much sense.

    Of course, because there's honor and decency in that Sebastian. Why one earth would anyone marry "below" their status?

    This is insane. I have a bloody daughter with my husband, and if you asked any of our friends they would tell you that we were together long before any of these ridiculous rules or this...this DICTATORSHIP came into place.

    The government has no place to dictate the reasons behind marriage or tell its people how they should live within the privacy of their homes.

    It's fine, baby. There's nothing about you that I don't know. And besides, we BARELY made the cut! Even if we do get less than 90%, there's a damn good chance we can point that out and gain some leniency.

    Hopefully.

    No, sorry, not really. I asked around and they're pretty damn serious about it.

    We've got this under control though, they'll be sending out questionnaires this weekend and all we have to do is know what is on there.

    I mean, we're having a baby in less than two months. They can't honestly say we got married to bypass laws, can they?
