'''Marital and family law in Kiravia''' is rooted in Coscivian customary law, with influence from {{wp|canon law}}, as well as {{wp|Brehon law}} and {{wp|Sharia law|sharia}} in certain regions. As with Kiravian social policy overall, marital and family laws are the domain of individual states, territories, and other federal subjects, and consequently vary across jurisdictions in numerous points of detail.

Family law has not developed as a field distinct from civil law in Kiravia. However, many jurisdictions have specialised Courts of Wards, and a few high-population jurisdictions such as [[Escarda|County Dannen, Devahoma]] have specialised Courts of Marital Dissolution. [[Pribraltar]], an {{wp|associated state}} of the KF, does have a specialised lower court that approximates a Western family court, known as the Court of Divorce, Wardship, and Bastardy.
The '''Provost-General of the League of Nations''' is the chief administrative officer of the [[League of Nations]] and also serves as president of the [[League of Nations General Assembly]]. As chief administrative officer, the Provost-General is responsible for oversight of the League's administrative authorities and commissions (collectively referred to as "League agencies") as well as nominating the heads of said commissions. The Provost-General is also responsible for nomination of the members of the [[International Justice Court]].
==Selection and term of office==
The Office of Provost-General was, for most of its history, an annually elected position held in the General Assembly of the League of Nations. Election for PG is a simple majority vote, with preemptive rounds of voting winnowing out smaller candidates if more than two countries are nominated to fill the role. In 2019, an amendment of the Code of the League of Nations extended terms to two years; in both cases, the term is Jan 1st to Dec 31st. An individual may be Provost-General for two terms, totaling four years.  


==Marriage==
==Powers and duties==
Marriage is highly regarded in Coscivian culture, and the institution is believed by many anthropologists to be [[Coscivian_civilisation#Coscivian_Universals|a defining feature of Coscivian civilisation]]. Kiravian marital laws reflect a cultural perspective of marriage as morally and spiritually edifying to those involved and society at large, and accords it a kind of intrinsic value. As such, marriage is treated as a very serious matter in the Kiravian legal system.
The Provost-General oversees the affairs of the General Assembly, which includes presenting resolutions and bills, keeping order, tallying and reporting vote counts, and ensuring that the Code is followed appropriately. Outside of the General Assembly, the PG awards member nations with appointments to the various League agencies and commissions during their term. The PG appoints three members to serve on the Codes Committee (until 2026, the Codes Committee was composed of the runner-up for PG and two members appointed by the PG), as well as nominating three nations to occupy seats on the International Justice Court. Court nominations, unlike appointments, are ratified by the Assembly. The Provost-General also has veto power over Security Council selections made by the head of the SC, which rotates between [[Urcea]], [[Caphiria]], and [[Kiravia]].


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.  
==League agencies==
===Environmental Conservation Commission===
The ECC is responsible for the maintenance of international nature reserves, the enforcement of minimum standards of environmental preservation, and the assistance of developing economies to minimize the time required for them to improve their industry past the most destructive phases of industrialization.


{{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.
===Human Justice Commission===
The representative appointed to the HJC is responsible for bringing cases concerning human rights violations to the International Justice Court, where he or she acts as the prosecutor. Additionally, they have a responsibility to spread awareness of human rights issues and to work towards humanitarian solutions to conflict and the organization of international foreign aid.


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.
===Protected Lands and Sea Lanes Authority===
<table of regulated age ranges here>
The representative of the PLSLA is responsible for upholding international maritime law, protecting international trade law, conducting or coordinating antipiracy operations from member nation forces, and bringing charges of maritime crimes to the International Justice Court.
 
-Requirements and impediments, inc. age disparity
-Matrimonial conditions and authorised celebrants


===Bill Drafting and Indexing Commission===
The BDIC has historically been an Urcean-held position, and is charged with the legalese of drafting and recording paperwork for the League, as well as consulting with lawyers of both international and local law around the world.


Before the Republican Revolution, most of the Coscivian-majority states in Kiravia had some form of legal restriction on marriages between people of different ethnosocial communities (''tuva''). In South Kirav, there were further restrictions on marriages between people of different social rank, and some such marriages entailed forfeiture of certain privileges, such as inheritance rights. Most such laws were repealed or judicially invalidated in the years following the Republican Revolution, though they persisted in South Kirav for much longer. The [[Federal Consistory]] has ruled that Aboriginal tribal polities may place restrictions on marriages between their members and non-Aboriginals or members of other tribes for the purpose of tribal enrollment and benefit eligibility.
===Tourism and Travel Commission===
The TTC coordinates travel via air and sea internationally, acting as an organizing body for international airlines and shipping. It works closely with the PLSLA. In addition, the TTC is commonly used as a platform for encouraging cultural exchange programs, streamlining immigration and emigration, and posting travel advisories and highlighting 'destinations of the year'.


===Fusional Marriage===
===Atomic Energy Commission===
A minority of federal subjects follow the principle of "marital fusion", in which a married couple is regarded as a single, unified person for all or most purposes of civil law (but not criminal law), and any rights, permissions, obligations, and property conferred on one spouse is automatically extended to the other. In most such jurisdictions, a "marriage" is now treated as a legal entity in its own right (similar to a deceased person's estate) of which the husband and wife are co-administrators. [[Ilfenóra]], [[Cascada]], [[Metrea]], [[Argévia]], [[Venèra]], Ixikéa-Qihuxia, [[Uruvun|Èusa]], [[[[Æonara#Politics_and_Governance|Central Æonara]], the Starway Islands, Amóxav Territory, [[Verakośa]], the [[Krasoa Islands]], and [[Seváronsa]] are full marital fusion states, while [[Niyaska]], [[Trinatria]], [[Korlēdan]], and the [[Sydona Islands]] recognise marital personhood in certain legal contexts.
The AEC is charged with the assistance of legal nuclear energy production, the strict enforcement of nuclear energy safety standards, and the combatting of nuclear proliferation into rogue states worldwide.

===Dissolution===
===Wartime Benefit Fund===
Marriages legally ''terminate'' or ''expire'' only on the death of one or {{wp|Simultaneous death|both partners}}, but can be ''dissolved'' by either annulment or divorce.
Although not established under the [[Code of the League of Nations]], the [[Treaty of Electorsbourg (2024)|Treaty of Electorsbourg]] established the [[League of Nations Wartime Benefit Fund]] to benefit war orphans and widows from the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. The Provost-General's office oversees the administration of the fund and directs funding to member nations with nationally established programs.


No federal subject has a mechanism for divorce by mutual consent, and all divorces require that a marital fault be proven in court. What acts and conditions qualify as marital faults vary by jurisdiction, but commonly include:

Marital faults can be either delinquent (''ibvāsix'') or conditional (''télax''). Delinquent faults are failures by a spouse to fulfill their marital duties, or violations of one spouse's marital or natural rights by the other. Common delinquent faults include (but are not limited to) abuse, adultery, neglect, economic nonprovision or negligence, abandonment, substance abuse, and long-term incarceration. Conditional faults are conditions (rather than actions or failures) that prevent the fulfillment of marital duties. These overlap with marital impediments, and can include impotence/infertility, ethnic or religious differences, serious mental illness, differences in sexual orientation, and (in [[Niyaska]] only) egregiously intolerable in-laws.

Some states allow for divorce on the grounds of ethnic or religious differences. Other faults particular to certain states include x,y,z.
|1955, 1956
 
|[[Burgundie]]
The standard to which a marital fault must be proven to qualify for divorce varies by the fault in question and by jurisdiction. Some states insist more strongly on marriage counselling and attempts at reconciliation than others, especially if the couple has children. In some federal subjects, spouses mutually wishing to divorce can make use of certain "loophole faults", and/or expedite the proceedings by having one spouse decline to contest any accusations of fault (though fault must still formally be proven).
|-
 
|
Marriages can also be dissolved by civil annulment. The criteria for granting an annulment are narrower than for a divorce, and annulments are typically reserved for facially invalid marriages, marriages to which an impediment existed at the time the union was concluded, and marriages with certain conditional faults. In a growing number of states marriages concluded when at least one spouse was between the minimum marriagable age (16) and another young age (usually 18 or 19, 20 in Fariva and [[Suderavia]]) can be annulled with reduced judicial scrutiny if the petition is entered within a certain time window (usually 12-24 months from the marriage date). Civil annulment is also used as a bureaucratic mechanism to dissolve marriages found to be criminally fraudulent or incorrectly documented.

==Guardianship==
|-
Adoption as practiced in [[Occidental world|Western countries]] has never been recognised in the Coscivian legal tradition. A person's biological parents are the only people who can ever hold the status of that person's parents before the law. Other adults can, however, be granted guardianship of children as wards.
|
 
|1958
In all federal subjects, only married couples may apply to become guardians of an unrelated child. In most jurisdictions, if a married person inherits guardianship of a related child, both spouses are automatically accorded joint-guardianship, while in others joint-guardianship must be approved by a magistrate (though this process is usually ''pro forma''). Civil unions and domestic partnerships are not equivalent to marriages for the purpose of guardianship.
|[[Cartadania]]
 
|-
For the sake of bureaucratic convenience, the Kiravian government extends ''de facto'' recognition to adoptions of foreign nationals by other foreign nationals certified in foreign countries, provided that none of the parties were residing or present in the Kiravian Federacy at the time of the adoption. Such adoptions are officially designated as ''áldalusbrix ēdākor'' ("legal-fictive parenthood") and the adoptees as ''áldalusbrix bosna'' ("legal-fictive offspring"). Federal law prohibits Kiravian nationals from travelling abroad or communicating with a foreign government for the purpose of adopting an unrelated child. However, Kiravian nationals may adopt (or otherwise become guardians of) related foreign-national children under the laws of another country, and are granted guardianship of any such children under Kiravian law.
