Any characters that appear in this fic that is not a part of the original series, belong to me so don't take them without asking first.

Marriage Law Rejection Letters
Letter #340
Submitted By: lordMartiya
===============================
To the Right and Magically Honourable Minister for Magic of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland,
I write you on behalf of my classmate and class representative, Marinette Dupain-Cheng. We don't really get along, but I am more than willing to help her in these matters such as a letter demanding her to commit herself to marriage. A demand that is illegal, for the following reasons:
1) By the nationality law of both the French Republic, Italian Republic, and People's Republic of China, she is a citizen of both France and Italy, with an option to claim Chinese citizenship and renounce her previous dual citizenship upon reaching the age of majority. Therefore she is outside the purview of your Obligatory Marriage Law;
2) She is a resident of France, having always lived there and occasionally visited relatives in Italy. Therefore she is outside the purview of your Marriage Law;
3) She has no natural magic. While she, like my other classmates, has been in contact with hostile and beneficial magic both due the current terrorist crisis, she has no natural ability to use it. Therefore she is outside the purview of your Obligatory Marriage Law;
4) She is currently fourteen years old, and the law of each jurisdiction of the United Kingdom establishes that minimum marriage age is 16. Therefore she is outside the purview of your Obligatory Marriage Law;
5) The law of each jurisdiction of the United Kingdom affirms that nobody has any right to force or veto a marriage. The only exception is that the jurisdiction of England and Wales and that of Northern Ireland require parental or guardian consent if one or both the spouses are older than 16 but have not yet reached majority. Therefore your Obligatory Marriage Law is in fact illegal.
In addition to the above, she does NOT want to marry for the time being, only planning marriage with a certain person we know of in a future yet to be determined, and having been unfortunate enough to meet this Theodore Nott you would wish her to marry she has expressed the wish to never marry him, or even meet him again.
A decision I find myself approving after sharing her misfortune when he interrupted a lesson at our school to try and take her away. He is currently held in one of Paris' hospital, to be handed in the custody of the Police Nationale upon recovering from our physical objections to his intent.
Having better things to do I am willing to let these actions slide, provided you leave Marinette alone. However, should you try to enforce your illegal law, or even solicit her again, I shall come for you. And considering you are not as intelligent as Ladybug and/or Chat Noir, I anticipate I would successfully trick you into torturing to death the families of your friends before killing each other in anger and grief, followed by me killing the last survivor and assigning your jobs to random babboons, who would certainly do a better job if you were to prove yourselves that foolish.
And this would be with my own intelligence and cunning, though I have accepted the offer of Paris' magic-using terrorist to turn me in his champion, granting me superior physical skills and the Power of Illusion for this quest.
Yours truly,
Lila Rossi-Volpina
P.s. if I'll have to come over there
Author's Notes:
This latest Marriage Law Rejection Letter update was recently submitted to my review box by lordMartiya. Thanks for the submission. If anyone else has any letters they want to submit, feel free to send them in. lol
Notes from lordMartiya: Another letter-a crossover with Miraculous Ladybug,one with an enemy coming to the rescue. Had to research citizenship laws to write it-and was surprised that Marinette may actually have a dual citizenship, depending on her father's decision.
