Intergalactic Summit

Recently, Gutter Press uncovered some rumours that several Amarr Faithful had married known heretics, in an effort to compel the heretics to repent and embrace the Imperial Orthodox Faith.

Several notable capsuleers were implicated, although all denied even contemplating such a course of action.

Gutter Press spoke with a bishop from the Throne Worlds who had this to say:

"Marrying a heretic in order to convert them is a fools errand", said the bishop "They must convert first, otherwise they would contaminate any children of the marriage"

A bishop from Kador region also condemned such actions:

"How any sane Orthodox Faithful could contemplate bringing a heretic into a church to have their marriage recognised before God is beyond me. A heretic cannot honestly state the wedding vows."

Gutter Press also spoke with a number of Holders and some Commoners, within the greater Amarr sphere.

"Marrying heretics ? well, that's a bit foolish, surely ?", said one Tash-Murkon Holder.

"I tell you though, some of those heretic ladies are quite pretty. Not wife material though. Definitely only suitable for a concubine", said a Kor-Azor Holder.

"Is this about those propaganda posters, with those Sani sabik ladies in revealing attire?" asked an Ardishapur commoner. "Down with that sort of thing."

"Sani Sabik theology is akin to carrying an umbrella to shield yourself from a meteor storm", said a Sarum commoner. "It's frankly ludicrous"

"I bet this is some kind of bizarre reverse psychology Sani Sabik mind games", said a Khanid Kingdom capsuleer.


Whatever the truth is behind these rumours, Gutter Press will root it out.

This.

Sounds like my Boss. Except she's not married or Amarrian, and her lovely man is a former slave and not a Sani Sabik.

Still, makes me wonder how it'll go down back in The State if they ever do tie the knot. Not that I care, so proud of her.

They are wise men and leaders of the faith.

As for your mother, I'd say it was improper, yes. At the very least any union shouldn't have occurred until after your father took up the faith. Since you say 'at the time' I assume he eventually did, so at least there was a positive result.

I hope you will understand that I take offense to the term Infidel towards my late father. Marriage between two persons in my mind is still the business of the couple.

The real issue is : does marriage in the Amarr Empire systematically gives Amarr citizenship to the other party, or not ? I do not think so, but if someone has more information on the matter I would be interested to hear about it.

So it is mostly a religious issue where people marry other people to convert them. Here, with heretics apparently. I find it rather weird that the MIO has not acted severely on such cases. Generally, when someone marries, or just has the habit to talk with heretics repeatedly, that someone usually finds himself in a certain amount of troubles with Amarrian justice.

Kinda depressing to read responses to Mr Onzo.

Makes me glad I live in Anoikis, am not religious and don't care a moment about any politics.

Guess I have a wide, varied and free future ahead.

Lack of humanity, coming from the person who believes that something as important as marriage should be rushed into at the whim of the couple.

But of course, foreigners think that even something like polyamory between three women who decided just a few hours earlier that a union seemed like a fun idea is an acceptable kind of "marriage", because hey people should be allowed to do whatever they want even when the whole thing is unhealthy for everyone involved.

Marriage isn't about just you and your personal wishes. It is one of the most important things people will ever do in their lives and something that needs to be thought through with care and patience. To marry someone outside the faith is to hurt your family, your friends, and your children, and to jeopardize your own partnership and your faith. If there's any lack of humanity, it's coming from the people who'd rather risk all of that because of feelings that they can't even be sure will last.




No, marriage doesn't confer citizenship in the Empire. You must be a member of the faith to be a citizen. I'm not even sure if the marriage itself would be recognized if one of the two was outside the faith.

In your tiny wormhole. You must have meant to say narrow, limited and free.

I assure you my pleasure hub sessions are all scrupulously well monitored for the health and safety of all participants. We take water breaks and everything!

That whole triple marriage thing was just part of an extended roleplay session, nothing more. When you don't have much in the way of actual boundaries, sometimes you have to set up fake ones to enjoy "violating." Quite fun, you should try it!

I never questioned that you had physical space or a lack of laws. My point was that when your 'society' is a handfull of pilots and their crews, you don't exactly have a wide variety of potential marriage partners, because you have no real society or culture to speak of - unless you've borrowed one from Empire space.
