However, it is believed that the practice continues illegally on a small scale, mostly in the Southern Department. On the other hand, the General Executive Council has issued guidelines to law enforcement personnel clarifying that {{wp|animal sacrifice}} is permitted in the country and should not be interfered with out of respect for i̳ndigenous traditions. | ||
{{wp|Forced marriage}} was banned by the Cronan Marriages Order, but this has proven very difficult to enforce. Not only does forced marriage remain widespread among the native population, but there have been reported incidents of {{wp|marriage by abduction}} carried out by male settlers against native women. | {{wp|Forced marriage}} was banned by the Cronan Marriages Order, but this has proven very difficult to enforce.

For the time being, the Mid-Atrassic judiciary is staffed, financed, and provisioned through the Overseas Justice Administration, an agency under the Kiravian Overseas Governance Executive. Its judges are drawn from the Kiravian federal bench and are paid directly by the KF government, but serve in the Mid-Atrassic courts as a separate and distinct jurisdiction, applying the separate body of MAS law. The Atrassic Crona Governance Act stipulates a five-year process of patriation, after which the MAS will be responsible for maintaining its own court system. The Mid-Atrassic judiciary is currently unitary in structure, though it is expected that it will be decentralised and federalised in the future as the self-governing states attain the capacity to operate trial courts of their own. There is only one level of appellate jurisdiction, the Mid-Atrassic Court of Revision, which has benches in both Divisions and the Chapatec Free State. The [[Federal Consistory]] (KF) may hear appeals from the Court of Revision at its discretion. | |||
