Translation:
Marriage will be terminated by law regardless of the consent or opinion of the persons concerned.
The Ministry of Justice of the Slovak Republic proposes in the new Civil Code the automatic termination of marriage in the event that one of the spouses changes gender (transitions). Marriage will be terminated by law regardless of the consent or opinion of the persons concerned, even if the transition took place abroad, informs the portal Aktuality.sk.
The Inakosť Initiative criticizes the proposal because it compares it to declaring a spouse dead. Minister of Justice Boris Susko (Smer) submitted the new Civil Code for comment at the beginning of October with the aim of modernizing and making our law more accessible, since the current code dates from 1964 (from the times of socialism) and did not regulate transition issues. The new Civil Code, which is to be in force from 2027, thinks about this issue, but significantly complicates life for transgender people.
The state plans to automatically dissolve marriages of persons after gender reassignment, without ascertaining the will of the partners. The new Civil Code states that “Marriage shall be dissolved by the change of the spouse’s gender” this provision follows immediately after the point on declaring the spouse dead. In practice, the change means automatic divorce, after which property and rights to children are resolved in the same way as after a regular divorce.
ah yes the „we have more important things to focus our time on than trans rights and all these little groups and their demands“ spending all their time and energy oppressing as many people as possible, doing nothing to help anyone at all
WTF
Y’all may laugh at the absurdity or be horrified, but these sort of ideas for oppression, censorship and exemplary conduct have already slipped into the EU through obscenity laws.
Fico just dropped the funniest tax evasion scheme ever
That should be enough to contravene the eu human rights framework and initiate a sanctioning procedure.
It’s probably because Slovakia sadly still doesn’t recognise same-sex marriage.
LGBT rights here are still decades behind the West and Fico and his cronies use LGBT people for fearmongering.
How’s your mortgage prices, food prices, gas prices etc going?
Trans people bad? Trans people bad, wonder how long people will keep falling for this grift
Oh fuck Slovakia ghost capital of the world
If you’re legally dead, do you still have to pay taxes?
Just asked my wife how this will affect life insurance payouts (her area of expertise.) and I have received an official shrug.
another reason to leave this shithole as soon as i get old enough
Good thing the S&D kicked out Smer, they aren’t Social Democratic, they are Red Conservatives in disguise.
For once, we are not the shittiest country, thanks neighbours.
It’s good to see that the Slovak government is focused on the most important problems that affect the majority of Slovak people instead of focusing on silly things like the economy or corruption.
How is that EU compliant lol
Taking deadnaming to strange new places
That’s a bit too much.
Fico sees his approval ratings fall for his oligarchy. Since Jews are mostly out of date as scapegoats after Hitler and Roma has been done before, he now copies all the other reactionary nutjobs and goes after trans people to fool his supporters amongst the Slovak populace. Fuck them.
Wtf did I just read?
>A person who undergoes gender reassignment will be declared dead.
WTH?! 🧐
I’m glad the government is finally dealing with these important issues that affect the day-to-day life of Slovakians.
what the fuck is it with these maggots using trans people as the new thing to hate on for some reason?
This article is wrong.
Yes they do want to allow for instant divorce if one spouse transitions, but the declaring the dead is not happening. The advocacy group Inakosť (a Slovak LGBT rights organization) strongly criticizes the proposal, saying it is harmful, discriminatory, and dehumanizing. They point out that it effectively “declares a person dead” in terms of their marriage status. Not literally dead.
Their marriage will be ended the same way as if one spouse died. But you will not literally be declared dead.
So if you’re legally dead then so is all you debt! Debt collectors hate this one trick! Click here!
I had no idea Slovakia as a country was this undeveloped.
Conservatives are so fucking obsessed with trans people
Meaning we can no longer be sentenced to life in prison? I have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever…..
Straight back to the Middle Ages. What’s next? Burning witches and heretics?
Declaring someone dead usually means all their debts are cleared. Be interesting to see how that plays out.
Nobody will gain anything from this but a couple of thousands of people will suffer from it. Bravo.
Just one serious question: is this law even compatible with EU legislation? Declaring a living person dead definitely sounds like human rights abuse.
Can we call transphobia a mental illness yet?
“Should we listen to USA or Russia?”
“Why not both?”
To everyone thinking this is a great way to avoid taxes because the dead don’t pay taxes, I think there’s a bigger concern. Dead people don’t own property, or get social services, or jobs.
>immediate divorce […], without consent
Frankly, this sounds like Sharia law.
So you can claim on their life insurance?
