Dabsar marriage

A dabsar marriage is a phenomenon in Qeelsia prevelant with Independent Milawic Order members, where a husband and wife will get married in a religious ceremony, but not legally, so that the husband and wife can potentially legally marry a foreign member of their religion in order for them to gain citizenship in Qeelsia. In essence, the members will be married on paper but may not have anything to do with each other, and will be married unofficially with their chosen partners. Marrying a Qeelsian citizen is one of the simplest ways of obtaining citizenship.
Dabsar marriages have been practiced since the 1800's, but became a well known phenomenon when thousands of IMO members married Dosenmar Milawics fleeing during the Tor refugee crisis. Arrangements inspired by dabsar marriages have also been practiced to a lesser extend by some Avyanite Milawics, Kanics and Yazaalis. Certain religious institutions, notably the House of the Javun, have banned the practice, emphasizing the need to sign a marriage contract in order to be legally married, which would be considered bearing false witness.
