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

    I have a plan. I sort of figured this might happen, so I have a story. For us. We just have to memorize it and stuff. I didn't think it would happen so soon though

    Don't worry, you're not going to go to prison.

    THERE ARE OTHER PLANS TOO.

    Well, I have! So there's no need to worry. If you get worked up, you won't be able to concentrate. I'll bring our paperwork and the story and we'll work on it.
