What if Marriage Contract has expiration date ?..

A marriage is sacred, so it'd be out of line to give it an expiration date. But, let's say, a marriage contract was solely based on the law, then an expiration date would be plausible.

well i think that would be a great idea. hahaha..

I think it would bring a lot of unneeded complications to the marriage relationship if we had expiration dates. I don't know how many marriages would be renewed because a marriage would expire. Let'[s hope this is one contract that will never expire.

Hi Jaiho, That could be beneficial for some and disastrous for some... For me it would be a disaster... I would not want to let go and she will not want to renew... or I would not want to renew and she would want to renew... either case a misery to happen... Better we stayed without the contractual marriage

hello jaiho2009! If marriage has expiration date, well, that would just be simply fantastic. I would not have to wait and save for the expenses i will incur for the annulment of my marriage. I married the wrong person, and we ended up separated. It would have been fun if marriage has an option to renew or not when the expiration date comes. It would save us a lot of expenses but not heartache, lol.

Hello my friend LOL you know why marriage contract has no expiration because may be your are the first one not to renew it ha ha ha.. Seriously because if it is, the sacred of marriage might be abused for some others. Anyway I hope not to be happened what your thinking because some will be surely abused that.

I think for some.. it starts with an expiration date. Sadly , I have a friend who starts off with the idea . well if it doesn't work out there is always divorce. I don't think anyone should go into marriage with that attitude. Yes Divorce exists but it should be used so casually

Hello dear sister, I think that is the specialty of the marriage contract, there is no expiration date. However, if you want to finish it then you can do any time according to your wish and will, at least no need to wait for the last date of expiry.

if marriage contract has expiration date, then i guess we have already solved a lot of marriages right now. i know there are lots of them that never worked out. so if it didn't worked out, they have the option not to renew it.

It would be no good if there is an expiration date in a marriage. Marriage is a serious committment, there is no expiration.

If the marriage contract has an expiration. There are many broken home or family around. Because husband or wife..thinking not to renew when they see something handsome or something sexy...that's a kind of funny! Well, marriage contract not have an expiration date. Because under our laws: Marriage contract cannot be stipulated and no law should be created to distract the sanctity of marriage... As the says: Marriage is a special contract of permanent union between a man and a woman entered into in accordance with law for the establishment of conjugal and family life... As the law says. It is a permanent union and no subject for stipulation...

That would be amazing....it would have saved me lots of money as I paid so much for my marriage annulment. My country doesn't have divorce which could be a lot cheaper and marriage annulment costs too much. So if you don't have money and you got separated, no chance at all except to be an adulteress LOL! It's not a funny thinking, it should be introduced in our society. But the lawyers will protest as they will lose business.

We don't have contrant marriage in our family or culture, naturally no expiration date of any kind, i see this date over food stuff, medicines etc, mine was an arranged marrige that too in 1966, i was just 16 i know some girls guys live together, have kids but no legal marriage, might be some kind of contract? Thanks for this funny discussion Jai Happy posting, cheers. Namastey. Kalyani

halu jaiho, lol it's funny,but it's true.if there is a renewal for it,i will not renew lol yes we have to be our selves we should not hypocrite,we should face the facts,that, what if you are not both happy in your relationship,and you do all your best to save your relationship,and it doesn't work at all,are you still going to pursue it,for what?for the seek of your family?for the seek of your children?but look a small quarrel becomes big deal,because there's no love and can't understand each one opinion,the home will not become home anyway,would you allow these situations inside your house and in front of your children?.there's no peace at all. but if you would accept the reality,everything will gonna be fine.. thanks to this topic...take care jai..

I was just talking about that with someone the other day. I wouldn't be surprised, especially sinc ehumans are living longer lives now, and divorce is unfortunately rising like crazy. Perhaps in future, it will be something like 2-4 stages in life as in: "adult years" "senior years" "3rd age life" Ha ha. Or "30th anniversary, 50, and 75!"

Hahaha, but I wish there was Jane... So that, it will not be very expensive when a couple decided for an annulment. We are living near the palace of justice here in our coity and I often hear cases like that.

Thinking about it? It sounds silly but I guess I would want it to be considered by our law makers. Even without it, people practice bigamy and adultery here in the Philippines. They don't even bother to get any legal settlement before reentering another marriage. As you may know, Philippines is made up of Islands and most records are localized. Even though we have the National Statistics Office, an agency that safe keeps citizen's records, there is no way of knowing if someone has a previous marriage without checking it out with the NSO which most people don't think of doing so before getting married. Hence, if marriage contract has expiration then maybe couples can reconsider or talk things out whether they would renew it or not. I like the thought of it!

Hello jaiho, Actually, my mind also plays on this idea but i do believe in the sacredness of marriage vows. It is not only a vow between two couple who fall madly inlove with each other rather it is a divine ritual between Almighty God and the lovers who became one in the eyes of God and the people after receiving the vows of marriage. Although we commonly think that it is only a contract,a piece of paper signed by two consulting adult but because of the divine intervention whom our faith gave power into it then it mustn't be treated as an ordinary contract at all. This is the exquisiteness of marriage and the hardship if one fall into the wrong person.

hello jaiho, In a Catholic country marriage is a sacred one as last year one lawmaker proposed a bill regarding marriage renewals but the Priests, Catholic organizations and other people are against this kind of law. On my own opinion i don't know if i will go for yer or no maybe come what may i need too look first for someone before i can decide which side i am . happy posting

LOL. It would be like a sword of two edges. Some people will find it benificial, while some other will find it breaking the holiness of matrimony. As we all know, when we marry someone, it is a lifetime contract, except for some valid ground for separation (even the bible has mention some ground for separation) below: 1. Either one of the party is mentally incapable 2. Either one of the party endangered the life of his/her spouse (due to continous beating or life threatening actions) 3. Either one of the party has committed adultery. When any of these criteria has been met, then the couple can annul their marriage. When it comes to financial situation, would it be more expensive if marriage contract has an expiration. Let us consider this, let say that the marriage contract is valid for 10 years and you and your spouse decided that you still want to be with each other, then you need to "renew" the contract and "pay for it again". Let say that you and your spouse want to spend your lifetime with each other, then you need to "renew" the marriage contract every 10 years and and "par for it again" Just my thought, No harms meant. Happy day.
