Marriage Law Rejection Letters
Letter #20: Ministry Response
By: Sakura Lisel
Requested By: MAHA1959
===============================
Dear [Insert Name Here],
In response to your previous letter, it is my honored duty to inform you that you are hereby ordered by the Ministry of Magic to participate in the Marriage Law that was enacted the previous month. Failure to comply willingly will have you tracked down and detained with a possible one year spent in Azkaban as punishment before you will be married to your ministry approved spouse. Further refusal to comply shall have your wand snapped and your magic bound.
As a citizen of our great and prestigious government it is your solemn duty to comply with the newly instated marriage law in order to keep our people from dying out. With the growing birthrate of Squibs being born after the recent war, combined with the number of record breaking deaths from the previous war, our numbers are severely dwindled.
The ministry has gone to great lengths and used powerful spells to find each potential couple the perfect and compatible spouse for them, and our methods are always 100% accurate in the selection process and has a high potential of producing magical offspring. If you have married someone else then your choice in life partner is simply wrong and simply must be ended effective immediately.
Whether you have left the country and have already married while away is a moot point, because as a citizen of the British Magical world, you are now hereby required to disolve whatever relationships you are currently in effective immediately, and are to return to Britain to marry your Ministry approved spouse to help our dwindling society thrive.
We hope you make the right choices in your future, and comply with the marriage law. It is for the greater good of the magical world that you do so.
Sincerely yours,
Lilith B. Crawford, ESQ.
Head Director of Regulation of Magical Marriages Ministry Department
P.s. Threats made by both you and your current partners will be ignored and dealt with appropriately by magical law enforcement, if we have to send aurors after you to bring you back home.
Author's Notes: This latest Marriage Law Rejection Letter update is the twentieth in the series, and I decided to make it a special letter. This letter was recently requested to my review box by MAHA1959 who wanted a letter written by the Ministry of Magic in response to all of the rejection letters they've been recieving involving their beloved law. Thanks for the request.
I didn't even think Marriage Law Rejection Letters would even be this popular when I first started it or get this far. I'm glad everyone seems to like it, and thanks to everyone who submitted their own letters to it.
If anyone else has any letters they want to submit, feel free to send them in. lol Plus anybody want to submit a letter that responds to the Ministry of Magics attempt at rejecting the Rejection Letters movement?
