NEW MARRIAGE LAW
The Ministry has been signing new policies all the time. One more notable one was the law passed last year that forbade first, second or third cousins from marrying. Now accompanying it is a law that forbids Purebloods from marrying and procreating with non-Purebloods. Any Pureblood who is currently married to a Half-Blood, Muggleborn or Muggle is in an illegitmate marriage, which is no longer recognized the Ministry of Magic. Any persons who engage in such a union of marriage or procreation are punishable by the law.
The Minister has gone on the record to say that this is to strengthen the wizarding community in Britain and globally. "With unity, there is strength. We must stay united and reach out to the wizarding community at large - not just within our own borders."
The Ministry ensures the public that any marriage between a Non-Pureblood and another Non-Pureblood will not be affected by this new law.
There is no talks of forced arranged marriages, but there are whispers of a contracted company in liason with the Ministry of Magic to help set up people with a partner if they are having trouble finding that perfect someone.
