Hello.

I am in need of legal advice regarding a private matter:

Is a marriage contract legally binding if one or more parties involved were under the influence of spiritual possession while it was officiated?

Thank you for your assistance.

So you were proxies? Oh, then that shouldn't be a problem, then. Unless you are expected to carry on as their proxies for the entire marriage, you shouldn't be legally required to stand in. Probably.

Unless the laws on the Naughtilust are way weirder than I remember or you said you wanted to actually marry the other proxy, I guess.

[ Considering that it's the Naughtilust, the laws there could be a lot weirder than Kaveh remembers. ]

The spirits were fairly clear that my companion and I were only needed for the wedding ceremony.

But what exactly do you mean, "if I said I wanted to marry the other proxy?"

Well, if you said your vows to him directly, by his name and not the ghosts you were standing in for, it might be a little...confusing, legally speaking.

The spirits' names were the only ones used during the ceremony. I allowed the spirit full control of my body, so every word spoken was her own, even though they were spoken in my voice.

So it sounds as though I am in the clear, legally speaking.

Are you alright emotionally speaking, though?

What do you mean?

[ It has definitely been A Lot. ]

Well, a ghost marriage that might have been legally binding...that sounds pretty stressful, even if you like your other proxy just fine. And if the ghosts' emotions were...present during all this, that's a lot to handle, too.

So, are you doing okay?
