#Covenant Marriage

[justinspoliticalcorner]

Alex Bollinger at LGBTQ Nation:

Nine states are now seeing Republican efforts to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 Supreme Court decision that legalized marriage equality in all 50 states. This is a new trend; state Republican lawmakers have been focused on rolling back trans rights since 2020.

In five of the states — Idaho, Michigan, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota — Republican lawmakers have introduced resolutions calling for the Supreme Court to overturn Obergefell. Those measures have been passed by at least one chamber of the state legislature in Idaho and North Dakota. In the four other states – Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas – Republican legislators have introduced bills to privilege heterosexual marriages, with some of the states referring to a new institution called “covenant marriage,” which would be limited to heterosexual couples. The point there, according to the sponsor of one such bill in Oklahoma, is to create inequality in marriage rights between opposite- and same-sex couples and invite a legal challenge that could be taken to the Supreme Court to overturn Obergefell.

Two justices on the Supreme Court have openly stated that they want to overturn Obergefell, and the Court has moved to the right since 2015. Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Anthony Kennedy, and Stephen Breyer were all in the Obergefell majority but have either retired or passed away in the last ten years. Only one was replaced by a Democratic president. It is not clear if there are the five votes needed to protect marriage equality on the Court if it were to take up a test case. Thirty-five states have amendments or statutes banning same-sex marriage, and most would likely go into effect if the Supreme Court were to overturn Obergefell. Because of the 2022 federal Respect for Marriage Act, though, state and federal governments would have to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states.

Nearly 3 years after Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization (a case that largely focused on abortion), GOP-run states are pushing measures to end marriage equality, such as resolutions calling for the overturning of Obergefell v. Hodges and pass “covenant marriage” measures with the intent to harm LGBTQ+ rights.

IMPORTANT INFO FOR OKLAHOMANS

If you live in the state of Oklahoma or know someone who does you need to know about senate bill 228. This proposed bill would allow for covenant marriage in the state of Oklahoma.

Covenant marriage is an additional marital contract which disallows no fault divorce. Instead, in order to receive a divorce, the claimant must prove:

1. They were physically abused. Or their children were sexually abused by their spouse.

2. Their spouse cheated on them, OR

3. Their spouse abandoned them for more than a year.

Why is this bad?

It could potentially trap women into abusive marriages. Covenant marriages are not required under this bill. However, they do offer tax breaks and this type of marriage is extremely popular among religious groups (mostly christians). Women could be pressured into this type of marriage by a man who intends to trap them (note that physical abuse is the only type of spousal abuse considered).

What can I do?

Call your state senator. Email them. Write them a letter. THIS BILL HAS NOT BEEN PASSED. It will not be read until February 3rd, when it will be read, voted on, and immediately become effective (emergency legislation).

“Forced divorce” fears as nine US states challenge marriage equality

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/forced-divorce-fears-as-nine-us-states-challenge-marriage-equality/

“Forced divorce” fears as nine US states challenge marriage equality

Five US states are petitioning the US Supreme Court to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the landmark 2015 decision that legalised same-sex marriage across all fifty US states.

A further four states are pushing for the introduction of “covenant marriage”, a more traditional form of marriage which some activists say is at odds with same-sex marriage.

The prospect of overturning same-sex marriage has raised fears about states rescinding existing marriages and even “forced divorces” for married same-sex couples.

Overturning Obergefell

The states of Idaho, Michigan, Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota have introduced measures that specifically ask the Supreme Court to overturn the Obergefell ruling, according to NBC News.

In a press release posted to X, State Rep. Josh Schriver, a Republican who was elected in 2022, claimed Obergefell “is at odds with the sanctity of marriage, the Michigan constitution and principles upon which the country was established”.

Activists fear a situation similar to Roe v. Wade, which was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2022. That decision removed the federal constitutional right to abortion, allowing individual states to decide the matter. Following the ruling, 19 states banned or limited access to the procedure.

“Covenant marriage”

Four additional states — Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas — have introduced legislation that doesn’t explicitly refer to Obergefell. However, these bills would create a category of legal marriage called “covenant marriage”.

While covenant marriage does not necessarily exclude same-sex couples, it is often religious in nature, stemming from Biblical descriptions of marriage as a covenant.

Covenant marriages impose relatively strict requirements for entering into and ending a marriage, as opposed to standard marriage contracts.

Grounds for divorce in covenant marriages are usually limited to abuse or adultery. They do not allow for no-fault divorces (dissolution of a marriage without proof of wrongdoing).

This form of marriage also generally requires couples to undergo premarital counselling – often by a religious authority but sometimes a secular couples therapist – and counselling should a couple have marital problems.

Because of its position outside modern, liberalised marriage, some see covenant marriage as incompatible with same-sex marriage.

Rapidly deteriorating situation

The marriage machinations are part of a wider pushback against LGBTQIA+ rights in the US, with the situation rapidly deteriorating since US President Donald Trump came to office.

In January, Trump signed an executive order banning trans troops from the US military.

On the day of his inauguration, he signed an executive order recognising only two genders. That order claimed it was an “immutable and biological reality” that trans and gender diverse people don’t exist.

Last month, the US State Department banned US embassies and consulates from flying the rainbow pride flag or any flag other than the US flag.

The move was part of the Trump administration’s pledge to crack down on diversity efforts in government institutions, reported The Guardian.

Yesterday, the Pew Research Center revealed most LGBTQIA+ adults in the United States expect Trump’s polices to affect them negatively.

The organisation said 78 per cent of those polled expect the administration’s policies to have a negative impact on trans people, while 71 per cent expect a negative impact on the wider LGBTQIA+ community.

I think that all of the LGBTQIA2S+ couples in Arizona, Arkansas, and Louisiana (especially Louisiana) should get covenant marriages. Let’s be show Mike Johnson that ALL marriages in law are just as valid as his.

And really, if needed, just move to one of the other 47 states and get a no fault divorce there. 😉

A raid from Hot Minute's niece and a social fight between Kaz and Wendy occurred at the same time, which was stressful but ultimately solved with Albina's overpowered 'summon pack' psycast. I love that psycast.

Wendy broke Kaz's nose and won the social fight, if you were curious.

Pig, the guy from The Menra Covenant who tried to marry Hazrov a while back, is trying to get with Candlelight now (we said no).

I was amused reading through Zonovo's social interactions and seeing that he's apparently in a gambling mood today. Cards, dice, roulette... He's happy chatting about them all.

Kawoo is the only colonist I've ever seen using the pool I spent so many resources to build, so I wanted to draw her enjoying herself.

I imagine it takes a lot of shaking to get all that fur dry, but she's probably super fuzzy and soft afterwards!

Finally, Hot Minute's nephew and some of his friends crash-landed right into Baz and Zonovo's bedroom, which was very rude of them. They busted down a wall and got ambushed by a turret and two of our nightlings, who distracted them until some of my colonists could run over and take them down.

Then we ripscanned Hot Minute's nephew, haha. Serves him right.

It is time for the Council of Elders meeting and to decide Jonathan's fate...

Mahala was still asleep when the time for the council meeting arrived.  If it hadn’t been for all three of the warlocks checking on her, and being sure that she was fine and just resting as she healed, Vollrath would have stayed and told the council to fuck off and he’d deal with Jonathan as he saw fit.

Instead, Vollrath replaced his suit jacket, that had been wrapped around Mahala, with a throw blanket and prepared to walk down to the conference room with Baldur.  The lingering scent of her perfume on the collar of his coat made him doubt his decision to head the meeting, and simultaneously evoked an overwhelming sense of protectiveness.   “Anyone comes through that door but Bal or I, kill them, El.  I don’t give a single damn who it is or what the fuck they want.  I will not allow anyone to come for her from the meeting, but that does not mean that someone won’t sneak into the building to try to get some kind of weird revenge or some shit, if it’s gotten out to the Coven at large.”  

If he managed to keep his temper till the end of the meeting, it would be some small miracle.  Already he wanted to go down to the holding cell that Jonathan was in and end the man’s life; then spirit Mahala away to his mansion like some prince locking up his princess to keep her safe from dragons.  He’d been worried about witch hunters the night before, yet it had been a member of his own Coven who had almost killed her. 

“Don’t worry, Vol, I’ve got this.  I get it, she’s special to you.  Fuck, she’d damn special period.  We don’t have a witch that powerful in the whole damn Coven.  I’m not sure I’ve ever met one in my whole life.  If you think I’m letting anyone near her, you are insane.” Elmar reassured him.  He kept his voice calm and level.  Of the three of them, he always was the one with the longest fuse, and at the moment that was a good thing.

Vollrath nodded, then went over and placed a soft kiss in the middle of Mahala’s forehead.  His breath stuttered slightly, the expression on his face tight and pained.  “I will make up for this, meine kleine Hexe.  Just don’t hate me when you wake up again.”  His fingers almost trembled as they ghosted over her forehead and down the side of her face, the softest feather light touch.  It was as if he was afraid one false mood could literally cause her to shatter.

Clearing his throat, Vollrath stepped back, straightened his suit, and then he and Baldur left the room.  All the way down to the conference room they discussed in hushed tones their ideas on what punishments to put before the Council.  Banishment from the Coven seemed the least that could be accepted, binding of magic next, and then there was full death for the attack.  Normally Vollrath would make decisions on his own, but everything about the situation demanded the Council of Elders take action.  It had been a long time since the Council had been invoked, and he knew that none of them would take it lightly that it had been now.  

****

The video had been watched repeatedly, slowed down, and even parts enlarged so the Council of Elders members could see more detail.  The Council had been deadlocked for over two hours, at times almost shouting at one another in disagreement of what the appropriate next steps and punishment should be.  If no one changed their vote, another option would have to be devised and voted on.  Vollrath informed the room of this once more, and prepared for debate again, something he was dreading.  He had not anticipated this.  He really had thought that the vote would not be very contentious.  

Then the door to the meeting room opened.  “It’s not a tie, dear brother, there is one vote left that has not been cast.  So, you will not have to come up with another option.  And, looky here, I’m it.”  Every head in the room whipped around to the door of the conference room.  Eyes went wide, a few scooted back from the table, gasps were heard, both Vollrath and Baldur were on their feet, but it was a toss up which of them was more shocked.  “What?  I mean, I do still get a vote, right Vol?  You haven’t taken me off the Coven Council of Elders ranks have you?”  

“No.” Vollrath felt his mouth go dry as he stood staring at his brother Balor.  The last time he’d seen him had been four years before, and it had not ended well.  If it wasn’t for his voice, Vollrath might not have even recognized him.  Balor’s dark blonde hair was darker and longer, pulled back now, his beard longer than it had been before, but his startlingly blue eyes were as piercing as ever.  He cut an imposing picture, his shoulders taking up the breadth of the doorway, arms crossed over his obviously muscled chest, and standing straight to his full six and a half feet height.  

“You still have your seat, Balor.  It was you who walked away from it, if you remember.”  Vollrath fought to control his tone and expression as his brother entered the room with what could best be described as a strut.  It caused Vollrath to straighten, but even then his brother had just over four inches on him.  They had always looked similar, but at the moment, they were opposites.  Where his brother looked like he could be a performer at a metal concert, Vollrath was in his finely tailored suit, perfectly trimmed facial hair, his auburn hair shorter and neater, and his eyes the ever changing hazel that had led his grandmother to bequeath him with the title of the Lion of the Nachtnebel. 

“Good, I didn’t think so.  I do apologize for my tardiness, it seems my invitation got lost in the ethos.  Thankfully, a kind soul did ensure it got delivered in time for me to attend.” Balor smirked as he strode further  into the room, expression smug and stride cocky.  Only his brother and Baldur could match him in abilities and magic in the room, and he knew it.  He did have to wonder where Elmar was, although glancing around, the little witch he’d heard so much about was absent too. “Play the video again, dear brother, I’d like to see for myself what transpired.  I’ve heard the allegations, but I don’t like to vote on rumors and second hand information.”

Baldur slid his phone into his inner suit coat pocket with the mic facing up.  Elmar was now on speakerphone so he could hear who just arrived, and not be surprised if anything went down.  There was no doubt that Balor would press things, he always did, so better to be prepared.  The fights between Vollrath and his brother had been legendary since they were children, and had not lessened as they got older.  Since Mahala was affected by unshielded magic, it might be best for Elmar to be ready should the Nachtnebel boys go head to head once more.

“Of course.”  Vollrath didn’t sit, but hit the button to play the video again.  No one other than Balor was watching it as it once more ran though, projected on the screen. The rest of the occupants of the room were watching him, uneasy at his sudden appearance.  How had he learned of this meeting?  While he technically had a seat on the Council, most in the Coven feared him if not outright disliking him as well.

“I see.  Interesting.” Balor commented once it had finished.  One hand stroked his beard as his head tilted to the side, a silence stretched for a few minutes as he considered things.  “And half of you are ready to allow Jonathan to escape with just banishment for his attack on the witch?”  Balor’s gaze swept the room, landing on every one who had voted for just the banishment.  “You really think that should be the only punishment for that attack?”  His eyes narrowed, and Vollrath could swear his brother’s eyes seemed colder than he’d seen them before.

No one said anything.  No one even moved.  The room was so silent that even the smallest brush of fabric or deep breath sounded loud.  Balor regarded them all with a bit of condescending amusement.  This is why he kept to himself and his small group; hypocrites, the whole lot of them.  Was his brother proud of this Council?  Of these Elders who were afraid to voice condemnation for the violence they all saw?

“I want to see her.” He spoke to his brother, but noticed Baldur tense next to him.  That was interesting.  Vollrath, he expected to react, but that Baldur did and Elmar was missing meant this woman was important.  He wanted to know how important, and to whom exactly.   It seemed there was much more going on than he had been informed of, than maybe anyone had.

“Why do you want to further traumatize her, Balor?” Vollrath’s voice was eerily calm.  Even Baldur was concerned how calm he sounded.  With all that had gone on during the day, he’d expected more of a reaction.  Balor was the last one that Vollrath had expected to see show up.  He rarely cared about general Coven business and now something regarding Mahala hung in the balance. The universe had to be hating him for some reason. How had he been notified of this meeting?

“I don’t and I won’t.  I was called to be here, I want to meet the one who has someone around you VERY concerned.  Then I will vote.” Balor’s smile took on a sarcastic edge as he dared his brother to deny him.  If he’d been paying attention, Vollrath already knew what he was going to say, there was no reason to keep him from meeting the woman.  Or was there?  Was there more than the video showed?  

“Baldur, please escort Balor to my office.” Vollrath was once more almost too calm.  He knew that Balor was looking for a reason to strike out, to make a scene before all of the Elders.  At least that was how it felt to Vollrath, who had more than once faced his brother’s anger for being passed over for Master Warlock.  If this was a test, he did not intend to fail, and he knew that Mahala would not.

Baldur nodded and led Balor from the room.  “You will not upset her, you will not intimidate her, and you will not hurt her in any way.  Elmar is with her, and if you do anything…”

“Save it, Baldur.  I’m not going to.  Something is up with my brother and I want to know what.  You don’t think I can read him?” Balor interrupted him, and made it clear what his intentions were as they walked down the ball.  “I am not going to challenge him in that room, but this I can do.  That you and Elmar are standing by him means he has not lost the faith of the general Coven, and that he's on the right side of this….whatever the fuck it is.”  His brows rose as he tipped his head and looked over to Baldur.

“Your brother hasn’t even slipped a bit, Balor.  I’m not sure why you would think he had.” Baldur’s brows drew together.  How had Balor known about the meeting?  The vote? And Mahala?  Someone in the Coven was talking out of turn.  That it was to Balor was not that big of a concern, but if they talked farther it could be.  Maybe it had been a bad idea to leave Balor out of the Council of Elders' call, but that still meant someone else had decided to involve him.  Who else had someone decided to involve?

“I did not even flex my magic in the slightest, I pulled it back to be honest.  She is very weak physically and drained, I felt the pull on my power, and wasn’t sure it was safe to let her feed off a strong tap not knowing her abilities.  I can heal her if one of you two is not going to, however.  I can feel residuals of Vollrath’s magic on her, so I know he tried and she is quite powerful in her own right when not drained, but she could use some help, Baldur.  I did no harm.  Ask Elmar if you doubt me.”  Balor was now extremely concerned.  He also understood why his brother seemed off.  This witch needed protection, and instead had been attacked, in Vollrath’s own office no less.  He was quite sure that at one point, she had been on the brink of death, even with her supernatural powers.  This was what was causing her delay in healing, Jonathan had caused that extreme of damage.  He pulled his powers back even further as he read the situation unfolding around him, and guarded his thoughts and emotions.  There would be a time for expressing them later.

When they reached the door to the office, Baldur knocked, then entered first.  “Mahala, this is Balor, Vollrath’s older brother.  He wanted to come meet you before the final vote is cast in the meeting of the Coven Council of Elders.” His eyes then met Elmar, who looked none too happy about the other warlock being there as he helped Mahala to her feet. Baldur watched her with concern, she still looked unsteady.  Regret over the antics from the morning weighed heavy on him after all that had happened afterwards.

Mahala stood, still looking shaken and drawn hours after the incident had happened. Shaking Balor’s hand, “it’s a pleasure, Balor? I’m sorry, my head is still…”  She raised her hand to her temple then reached over to grab Elmar’s arm for balance quickly.  Her breathing deepened, and Elmar took her hand off of his arm so that he could wrap it around her back, and get her back to the couch to sit down.  She was getting pale and clammy. “Sorry...Sorry…” Her voice was slightly slurred.

“What did you do?” Baldur leaned forward and all but growled in Balor’s ear.  Magic crackled in the air from both Baldur and Elmar. “If you hurt her…”

Elmar got Mahala some water, and ran his fingers gently over her forehead as she relaxed back over on the couch.  He remembered that not only had she been choked, but slammed into the wall a couple of times by Jonathan.  Maybe she had been more injured than they had originally thought. He’d just been relieving her headaches and nausea, but it seemed that more than symptom relief might be needed for the future.

“I now cast my vote for death.  Immediate would be most prudent.” Balor watched Vollrath’s surprise.  “It has been hours since the attack, I can feel the residual magic of not only the Master Warlock of this Coven, but also of his two Seconds upon her still, and she is not fully healed.  When she rose to greet me, she could not stand more than maybe ten seconds without getting dizzy and almost passing out. Jonathan did not merely physically attack her.  If she had been a normal human she would be dead; if she were not such a strong witch, I also believe she would be dead, so the punishment should fit.”  He saw the glances around the room.  He was quite sure they expected him to diverge from Vollrath’s desire, but he could find no argument to do that.  That didn’t mean he was without more questions about Mahala, however. 

“El, is what Balor says true?  Do you need help, or have you got this?”  Baldur asked when he saw the concern that was etched on Elmar’s face.  If anything happened to her, Balor would learn even more how much Mahala meant to his brother. Vollrath might be the one to carry out a death sentence personally and instantly, something that hadn’t been done since his father had been Master Warlock.

“I’ve got it, I think.  He’s right about it, she’s still got a lot of healing to do.  Oh, and he also didn’t do anything, he wasn’t lying.” Elmar looked back and nodded.  As much as he didn’t like Balor, he wouldn’t lie about that.  “I’m wondering if she has a more serious concussion than we thought.  Jonathan slammed her up against the wall more than once, the walls in this place are concrete block, it could have done some damage.  When the meeting’s over, talk to Vol.  Probably don’t want to let her sleep tonight or be alone.”  Elmar wasn’t looking at them, he was focusing on the healing he was doing, and helping Mahala relax.  If he had looked, he would have seen neither man was happy with what he’d just said.  

“I’m ready to vote, let’s go back.”  Balor didn’t even wait for Baldur before heading to the door, his voice was clipped and short.  He had been able to read all he needed to know.  His brother’s residual magic, Baldur’s residual magic, Elmar’s magic, and the strength of her own, coupled with the fact that she was still healing meant Jonathan tried to kill her and almost succeeded.  There was nothing else he needed to know.  He hadn’t expected that. He’d seen the tape, he only had wanted to meet the woman, and he knew that Vollrath would not deny him.  Instead, he’d gotten a lot more insight into things than he’d counted on.

Baldur had barely caught up with him when Balor entered the boardroom once more.  He looked around at all assembled with condescension before meeting his brother’s inquisitive gaze once more.  “Interesting witch you have in your office, Vol.   Also, still seriously injured.”  Balor didn’t even try to hide his irritation as he looked around at the faces of the others again, noting their confusion and shock at this.  “Elmar is taking good care of her, at least there is a strong warlock to do the healing. I give you credit for that, Vol.” He inclined his head to his brother, who seemed to be confused where he was going with everything.

Solomon’s Foreign Wives

1 King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women besides Pharaoh’s daughter – Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians and Hittites. 2 They were from nations about which the Lord had told the Israelites, ‘You must not intermarry with them, because they will surely turn your hearts after their gods.’ Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to them in love. 3 He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives led him astray. 4 As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully devoted to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father had been. 5 He followed Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and Molek the detestable god of the Ammonites. 6 So Solomon did evil in the eyes of the Lord; he did not follow the Lord completely, as David his father had done.

7 On a hill east of Jerusalem, Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the detestable god of Moab, and for Molek the detestable god of the Ammonites. 8 He did the same for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and offered sacrifices to their gods. — 1 Kings 11:1-8 | New International Version - UK (NIVUK) Holy Bible, New International Version® Anglicized, NIV® Copyright © 1979, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc.® All rights reserved worldwide.
