- hoten 4y agoOr easy to accidentally get divorced :P Any wild places where you must re-new or a marriage expires?
- midoridensha 4y agoThere was a sci-fi show in the 90s called "Earth 2" where this was the norm: marriages normally lasted only 5 years. It actually sounds like a good idea to me. It was brought up because one foolhardy couple in the group of characters got married, and decided to have a lifelong marriage instead of the standard 5-year term.
- olliej 4y agoI do recall NZ passing a law a few decades back - trying to make it so that gay couples could get marriage benefits while religious bigots continued to fight the idea of gay people having any legally recognized marriage, and essentially produced what I think America calls “common law marriage”? (Very much an “I think” issue here). But the wording of the law meant if you had the same flat/housemate for more than a couple of years they could claim half your property \o/
