Marriage (License)

Primary Definition:

  • Secular Fraud Contract: A marriage license is a secular contract between two individuals and the state, with the state being the principal party and the individuals being secondary parties. It serves as a legal authorization for a marriage to be recognized by the state. This contract gives the woman power over the man in matrimony, violating Proverbs 31, and puts the woman in control over the household. Furthermore, the state or government becomes the primary equity controller or “god” over the man and woman, with the sons and daughters being considered the “fruit” of the marriage. Marriage equals Matrimony and/or Mother Mary. The word matrimony originates from the Latin term “matrimonium”, which is derived from “mater” meaning “mother.”
  • This origin strongly dictates that matrimony inherently carries a matriarchal foundation, rooted in the “Age of Mary” or “Mother’s Age.” Matrimony, therefore, reflects a structure where maternal or mother-centered authority guides the family unit, with the state assuming a role as a matriarchal overseer over family and marital obligations an age of matriarchal rule time frame.
  • Historically, it relates to the concept of forming a family, with an emphasis on procreation and the nurturing of children. Role and Significance: Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, holds the title “Mother of God” (Theotokos), as well as “Our Lady” and “Queen of Heaven”. She is venerated as the most exalted of all saints due to her unique role in salvation history as the mother of Jesus, who is both fully divine and fully human. This is Falsehood Our Creator Has not a single Mother no beginning nor end the alpha and Omega She is also considered the or referred to as “Holy Mother Church” She is also seen as the spiritual mother of all Christians, offering intercession, guidance, and comfort to believers. In Roman Catholicism, the concept of “mother” is most significantly embodied by Mary, the Mother of God, who serves as a model of faith and the spiritual mother of all believers. Now do you see the false hood and contradictions of this? Marry is Marring they took out one r Making a man Mary or Marry under a woman like the mother of God this equals a Mother of the Household The man is not in charge under this contract yes Marriage or Marry-age is a contract under Maynard v. Hill, 125 U.S. 190 (1888): “In this landmark case, the U.S. Supreme Court recognized marriage as more than a mere private contract between two individuals. The Court held that marriage is a civil contract with public significance because it is the foundation of the family” Not only is this deceptive but it is cloak and dagger in direct contrary to not only Proverbs 31 as a true believer in the Most Highs laws and torah or your bibles but the order he created but also recognized by this US congress under Public Law 97-280 signed into law on October 4, 1982. The resolution declared 1983 as the “Year of the Bibleoriginated as Senate Joint Resolution 165 (S.J. Res. 165) The order of the Most high is as spelled out in 1 Corinthians 11:3 – Hierarchical Order of Authority (Yah)uah [God gōd (with a long “o”) to pour,invoke] is the head of Christ Messiah. Second Christ Messiah is the head of man. Third Man is the head of woman. Moreover in the book of Genesis 3:16 Mans Role Over WomanTo the woman he said, ‘I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children.” “Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.” 

Cultural and Historical Interpretations:

  • Historical Lineage: The concept of a marriage license has evolved over time. Originally, marriage was considered a religious covenant between a man, a woman, and God. In modern times, however, it has become a legal contract regulated by the state.
  • Religious Context: In religious traditions, marriage is viewed as a sacred union. However, the state’s involvement in marriage licenses has transformed it into a legal institution, often devoid of its religious connotations.
  • Matriarchal vs. Patriarchal: The term “matrimony” is derived from the Latin word “matrimonium,” combining “mater” (mother) and “monium” (action or condition). This etymology reflects the matriarchal aspect of marriage, emphasizing the role of the mother or woman. In contrast, patriarchal societies emphasize the authority of the male head of the family. Matriarchal systems place women at the center of familial and societal structures, often giving them primary authority in family and social matters. Patriarchal systems, on the other hand, are characterized by male dominance in roles of power and authority within the family and society.

Etymology and Origin:

  • Latin Roots: The term “matrimony” comes from the Latin word “matrimonium,” which combines “mater” (mother) with the suffix “monium” (action or condition). Latin Hint as in (Mother Mary!!) catholic This highlights the traditional role of the mother in marriage. Historically, it relates to the concept of forming a family, with an emphasis on procreation and the nurturing of children.
  • Historical Usage: Historically, marriage was a religious covenant. Over time, the state appropriated control over marriage, transforming it into a secular contract. This shift became more pronounced after the Civil War and was firmly established by 1920.

Modern Usage and Sensitivity:

  • Legal Contract: Today, a marriage license is a legal contract that grants certain rights and responsibilities to the married couple. It is regulated by state laws and provides legal recognition of the marriage.
  • State’s Role: The state acts as the principal party in the marriage contract, with the couple as secondary parties. This legal framework allows the state to regulate various aspects of marriage, including property rights, inheritance, and child custody.
  • State as Primary Equity Holder: In the context of a marriage license, the state becomes the primary equity holder, effectively placing the woman over the man in the legal framework of matrimony. This shift from a patriarchal to a matriarchal structure is significant in understanding the modern implications of marriage licenses.

Cultural Practices and Traditions:

  • Marriage Ceremonies: While the marriage license is a legal document, marriage ceremonies can still reflect religious or cultural traditions. The state requires the marriage to be solemnized by an authorized official, which can be a state official or a religious minister deputized by the state.
  • Cultural Variations: Different cultures have varying practices and traditions regarding marriage. However, the legal framework provided by the marriage license ensures uniformity in the recognition and regulation of marriage by the state.
  • Matriarchal Influence: The legal and cultural shift towards matriarchal structures in marriage highlights the evolving nature of societal norms and the increasing recognition of women’s roles and rights within the family unit.

Geographical Context:

  • Global Practices: The concept of a marriage license is recognized globally, although the specific requirements and regulations vary by country. In the United States, marriage licenses are issued by individual states, each with its own laws and regulations.
  • Community Property States: In community property states, such as Arizona, marriage is considered a partnership where both spouses have equal ownership of property acquired during the marriage. This legal framework influences how marriage licenses are issued and regulated.

Legal Implications:

  • Contractual Obligations: The marriage license creates a binding contractual relationship with the state. This includes the responsibility to comply with state laws and regulations related to marriage, property, and family.
  • Parens Patriae: The state assumes a parental role, known as “Parens Patriae,” meaning “parent of the nation.” This doctrine allows the state to intervene in family matters, such as child custody, to protect the welfare of children.
  • Adhesion Contract: The marriage license is often considered a contract of adhesion, a contract between two unequal parties. The state, as the dominant party, imposes the terms, leaving the couple with limited negotiation power.
  • Consideration: In legal terms, consideration is a benefit that each party gets or expects to get from the contractual deal. In the case of a marriage license, the state offers the “privilege” to be regulated by statute as consideration. The couple pays a fee and agrees to comply with all related laws, which include all current and future statutes and court rulings.
  • Fraud in the Factum: When the state does not fully disclose the implications and terms of the marriage license, it can be considered “fraud in the factum.” This means that one party was misled about the nature of the agreement, leading to a lack of true consent. Fraud in the factum involves deceit about the nature of the transaction itself, such as not explaining that the state becomes the primary equity holder, altering the traditional understanding of marriage.
  • Fraud in the Inducement: This occurs when one party is misled about the terms or consequences of the agreement, causing them to enter into the contract under false pretenses. In the context of marriage licenses, this might involve not disclosing the extent of state control and regulation over the marriage, leading to misconceptions about the legal and personal implications.
  • Intrinsic Fraud: Intrinsic fraud refers to deceit that occurs during the legal process itself, such as false statements or evidence presented in court. In the context of marriage and family law, intrinsic fraud might involve false claims made during divorce proceedings or child custody battles.
  • Extrinsic Fraud: Extrinsic fraud involves deceit that prevents one party from fully participating in the legal process, such as withholding important information or preventing access to legal representation. In the context of marriage licenses, extrinsic fraud might include not fully disclosing the implications of child support agreements or other legal responsibilities.

Challenges and Controversies:

  • Full Disclosure: Critics argue that the state does not fully disclose the implications of the marriage license to couples, leading to misunderstandings about the legal responsibilities and rights it entails.
  • Religious Freedom: Some individuals believe that the state’s involvement in marriage infringes on religious freedom, as it transforms a sacred covenant into a secular contract.
  • State Control: The significant control the state holds over marriage through the license raises concerns about governmental overreach into personal and familial relationships.
  • Equity and Gender Dynamics: The transformation of marriage from a patriarchal to a matriarchal system through the state’s primary equity holding has sparked debates about gender roles and equity within marriage.

Modern Implications:

  • Ongoing Contract: A marriage license is a dynamic contract that evolves with new statutes and court rulings. Couples must navigate this ever-changing legal landscape, which can impact their property, parental rights, and other aspects of their lives.
  • State Authority: The state’s authority over marriage extends to divorce, child custody, and property division. This continuous oversight underscores the enduring nature of the marriage contract beyond the wedding ceremony.
  • Legal Reforms: As societal views on marriage continue to evolve, there may be legal reforms to address the challenges and controversies surrounding marriage licenses. This could include greater transparency and recognition of diverse marriage practices.

Future of Marriage Licenses:

  • Inclusive Histories: Promoting inclusive histories that accurately reflect the diverse lineages and contributions of Shemitic peoples is essential. This includes recognizing the African origins and dark complexion of ancient Israelites.
  • Cross-Cultural Solidarity: Building cross-cultural solidarity among all descendants of Shem fosters mutual respect and combats discrimination. Efforts to educate and raise awareness about anti-Shemitic biases are integral to this process.
  • Ongoing Advocacy: Advocacy for Shemitic peoples involves addressing contemporary issues, preserving cultural heritage, and promoting social justice and equality.

Conclusion: A marriage license is a legal document that establishes a secular contract between two individuals and the state, granting legal recognition and regulating various aspects of the marriage. While historically rooted in religious traditions, the modern marriage license reflects the state’s role in regulating marriage as a legal institution. Understanding the full implications of a marriage license is essential for couples entering into this legal contract, as it carries significant rights and responsibilities. The shift from a patriarchal to a matriarchal structure within the legal framework of marriage highlights the evolving nature of societal norms and the increasing recognition of women’s roles and rights within the family unit. Moreover, the state’s failure to fully disclose the implications of the marriage license can be considered fraud in the factum, fraud in the inducement, intrinsic fraud, and extrinsic fraud, raising significant ethical and legal concerns.

A marriage license is a legal document issued by a governmental authority that allows two people to get married. This document signifies that the couple has met all the legal requirements to marry, such as being of legal age or not being closely related. The process and requirements for obtaining a marriage license can vary by country or even within regions of the same country. After a marriage ceremony, the license is often signed by the couple and their witnesses, then returned to the issuing authority to record the marriage.
