A couple celebrates marriage through Metaverse, what about legality? 

24

Metaverse marriage will not consider as legal marriage or we can say laws will not consider the Metaverse marriage like actual marriage to give legal approval.

The Metaverse concept is still in its initial phase but many crypto blockchain projects are doing their best to provide such Metaverse-based services under which people can even get into marriage relationships easily. Recently we covered a report and explained how an Indian couple beat the restriction of Covid-19 provisions and celebrated the marriage reception. 

Ryan and Candice Hurley are husband and wife in a relationship and they got married around 14 years ago. But recently they celebrated their marriage in Metaverse in the presence of 2,000 guests in the virtual world. 

The wedding took place on 4 February in a browser-based on Decentraland virtual reality-based Metaverse. 

Metaverse is an option but has many flaws 

In reality, people can’t marry by remaining far from each other at present time existing technology of virtual reality. However, a couple can do marriage and share the marriage event with multiple guests easily through the Metaverse-based projects. 

This is a type of reception, where people can see the marriage but cannot enjoy the food items and also they can’t feel the actual reality-based experience but still a better option to include those people in the marriage, which are not alive. 

Metaverse allows the people to show their modified and more good-looking or more changed faces easily i.e customization of the face is possible. So by taking the consideration of such a moderation system in Metaverse, The American Marriage Ministries (AMM) announced that they will not consider it legally to approve the marriage. 

“The laws have not caught up to the world in which we live, meaning that I don’t believe that (a metaverse wedding) would be legal, and it would just be a ceremony,” a professional marriage officiant, Lori Prashker-Thomas, told Business Insider
