Minato Mariage System

Overview of the system

Minato City is trying to realize a community in which the human right of each individual is respected and protected.
The Minato Mariage System starts from April 1. This is a system which everyone can live together with the people whom they wish to live as their family, regardless of sexual orientation and sexual identity.
In this system, partners conclude and submit a contract to Minato City in order to spend their lives together. The city confirms this contract and issues the Minato Mariage Card to the partners.
