Em “A Lua é uma Senhora Severa” há casamento em grupo. Se dois casais se casam é legal? [fechadas]

Questão complicada, sem saber em que situação você está pedindo (por lei atual nos EUA / Reino Unido / Etc., de acordo com a lei de lá, etc.), mas para responder a pergunta, eu vou suponha que você quer dizer 'É legal em sua cultura, naquele tempo e lugar, fazer isso.'

A resposta é sim, com base em qualquer coisa não definida como Ilegal é normalmente assumido como Legal . Em Luna, isto é, e assumindo que eles estão corretos na doutrina, eles defendem que eles são uma nação separada (o que é verdade até o final do romance). Se você ouvir o que membros específicos da Autoridade Lunar dizem, então eles podem ser coberto por qualquer número de leis terrenas, e torna-se uma questão muito mais complicada.

Como Manuel aponta:

“Yes, but—Well, Luna City must have a city clerk. Perhaps you call him ‘county recorder.’ The official who keeps track of such things. Deeds and so forth.”

I said. “Don’t think so, madam. Some bookies do notary work, witnessing chops on contracts, keeping records of them. Is for people who don’t read and write and can’t keep own records. But never heard of one asked to keep record of marriage. Not saying couldn’t happen. But haven’t heard.”

No entanto, o início do próximo capítulo aborda realmente a legalidade:

Took Stu all day to get case transferred to an F.N. court and dismissed. His lawyers asked to have it tossed out on “diplomatic immunity” but F.N. judges did not fall into trap, merely noted that alleged offenses had taken place outside jurisdiction of lower court, except alleged “inciting” concerning which they found insufficient evidence. Aren’t any F.N. laws covering marriage; can’t be—just a rule about each nation required to give “full faith and credence” to marriage customs of other member nations.

Não haveria barreira legal para dois casais se casarem. Há extensas discussões sobre casamentos grupais, co-maridos, co-esposas e grupos poligínicos intermarriedos em "A Lua é uma amante severa"

É explicitamente afirma que existe ...

...are no laws--except Warden's regulations--and Warden doesn't care what one Loonie does to another.

Na verdade, os casamentos nem sequer são legalmente ratificados, a não ser através do sistema normal de direito contratual;

I said. "Don't think so, madam. Some bookies do notary work, witnessing chops on contracts, keeping records of them. Is for people who don't read and write and can't keep own records. But never heard of one asked to keep record of marriage. Not saying couldn't happen. But haven't heard." "How delightfully informal! Then this other rumor, about how simple it is to get a divorce on the Moon. I daresay that's true, too?" "No, madam, wouldn't say divorce is simple. Too much to untangle. Mmm... take a simple example, one lady and say she has two husbands--" "Two?" "Might have more, might have just one. Or might be complex marriage. But let's take one lady and two men as typical. She decides to divorce one. Say it's friendly, with other husband agreeing and one she is getting rid of not making fuss. Not that it would do him any good. Okay, she divorces him; he leaves. Still leaves endless things. Men might be business partners, co-husbands often are.
