9th Declaration of Senate - 2nd Amendment: Life-Bonding

In recognition of the words of the God/des Morgan, as required by the 18th Imperial Decree, Senate declares that a free person may elect to give their Life-Bond to their life partner or spouse / mistress / master. Having given such life-bond, which must be witnessed by a priest/ess of Morgan and at least one other priest, it is acknowledged that the bonded person has granted their unconditional permission for acts of cruelty, rape, violence, abuse and even death to be enacted upon them by their bond-partner, with no penalty or damages being due in law. A Mistress who life-bonds to her master forgoes the right to quit the household, and any life-bonded person can only be freed from life-bond at the will of the person to whom the bond was given. It is declared to be permissible under law for mutual life-bonding between pairs of persons to be undertaken, and under such circumstances their can be no penalties of any kind against either party for any acts committed against the other party, even up to death, and the life-bonding is declared to be irreversible. A person who is life-bonded cannot undertake any formal relationship with any other person except their bond-partner.
