Sex and Gender - Marriage

In Haven, marriage is considered a union between two people, regardless of gender or species. While you will find holy places that refuse to join two people based on their own belief systems or prejudices, the government of Haven will not. It is legal for religious organizations to deny marrying two people based on their faith. The Haven government cannot deny marrying a couple.

Weddings are treated differently amongst the species. For fae, weddings are huge events – massive parties that can last for days on end. For shifters and werecreatures, weddings may be small and intimate, with just the herd or pack present, but the honeymoon is generally a much longer ordeal (if ya know what I mean winkwink). Vampires and humans treat weddings similarly.

Polygamy is not recognized in Haven. If someone wishes for more than one partner to be married to, it is instead considered a harem – something that is wildly popular amongst fae and vampires. Haven will not marry more than two people to each other for legal and tax purposes.
