Breaking the laws of RITA

Interpretations are currently available in Russian only — a translation is in progress.

The sixth law of the lineage concerns the family rules for entering into unions, and what it is about is consent. What counts as the error is a marriage entered into through deception, under coercion, or out of a calculation the other party was never asked about — and also promises given to the family and broken immediately after the wedding.

The origin of a spouse has nothing to do with this law and is not an error in any sense whatsoever. Only one thing matters: whether both sides knew what they were entering into, and whether both had a choice.

In a descendant this reads as a recurring lack of freedom in relationships: marriage "because one has to", the feeling of a transaction instead of closeness, terms that were never agreed out loud.

The working-off is to enter a union by one's own decision and to leave the other person the same right. Not to hold anyone by deception, not to decide on a partner's behalf, and not to turn a family into a contract that only one side knows about.
