Line 8:

Polygamy is strictly illegal throughout the Kiravian Federacy, and contracting two or more simultaneous marriages is a criminal offence. Contracting multiple marriages across state lines (as in essentially all modern cases) is a federal crime and aggressively prosecuted. Although states generally do not police a couple's actual living arrangements or private sexual activities, ''de facto'' polygamous cohabitation is also formally illegal in most jurisdictions. The states and territories in Æonara are a a notable exception, due to the issue of breakaway Mormon sects practicing polygamy in some remote areas, which has resulted in several dozen prosecutions.

{{wp|Same-sex marriage}} is not recognised anywhere in the Federacy. Gender-neutral {{wp|civil unions}} and/or {{wp|domestic partnerships}} are available in ~~Kiygrava~~, Fariva, Niyaska, Cascada, Argévia, Vôtaska, Asperidan, Serikorda, and the [[District of Coīnvra|Capital District]]. However, in no state are the rights accorded to civil unions or domestic partnerships fully equivalent to those accorded to marriages.

As a rare example of uniformity across jurisdictions, the minimum marriageable age in all federal subjects and the federal demesne is 16. Some states set limits on age disparity between partners entering into a marriage. ~~Kiygrava~~, for example, forbids marriages between persons >3 years apart in age until the younger partner is at least 19, and >5 years apart in age until the younger partner is at least 25, absent certain extenuating circumstances. [[Manaskan|Manaskan Territory]] is quite strict in this respect, with a firm ban on marriage between partners >5 years apart in age, and between partners >2 years apart in age until age 21.
