gollark: While we're at it, let's also allow transitive and nontransitive marriages, and unidirectional marriages, because why not.
gollark: Imagine how many government databases would have to be redesigned to store complex marriage graphs.
gollark: (I don't actually support this, it would be problematic, but I think there are good arguments that parents getting tons of control over raising children is actually problematic)
