fraudulent marriage

Read a random definition: mensularius

A quick definition of fraudulent marriage:

Fraudulent marriage is when two people get married, but one of them lies about something very important, like their religion or ability to have children, and the other person doesn't know the truth. This is not a real marriage because it was based on a lie. It is different from a sham marriage, where both people know they are not really getting married but go through the ceremony anyway.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A marriage based on a misrepresentation regarding some issue of fundamental importance to the innocent party, who relies on the misrepresentation in the decision to marry. The misrepresentation must concern something of fundamental importance to a marriage, such as religious beliefs, the ability to have sexual relations, or the ability or desire to have children.

Example: John tells Jane that he wants to have children and they get married. After the marriage, Jane finds out that John had a vasectomy and cannot have children. This marriage is considered fraudulent because John misrepresented his ability to have children, which was a fundamental issue for Jane in deciding to marry him.

This example illustrates how a fraudulent marriage is based on a misrepresentation that is essential to the decision to marry. In this case, Jane relied on John's statement that he wanted to have children and would be able to have them. If she had known the truth, she may not have married him.

@MrThickRopes: What would you say if I told you the reason UMich rejected you was due to your abhorrent comments on this chat?
Don’t say that you’ll make me paranoid

Evidently the Ed Snowden documents, which clearly indicate the CIA shares your online discourse with American institutions of higher learning [law schools], has never met your gaze. But, as the US gov likes to put it, if you have done no wrong, you have nothing to hide!

Guys I have no idea who's thoughts were expressed above under my username, I have just taken my meds and have no recollection of posting the aforementioned Edgelord gibberish which is completely baseless and devoid of any factual premises.

@windyMagician: If you were accepted before Jan 1, 2025, then that would make sense, for it is clearly stated in their admissions policy: "abhorrent comments will be used to an applicants advantage early cycle and to the applicants detriment late cycle," where late/early cycle are footnoted to be differentiated on the first day of the new year within the cycle.

@Thespinelessspinnerspinnedspinepriortopervingpines: I am unsure what ''mewing" means without context. However, I can say that if you mean a technique that involves placing your tongue on the roof of your mouth to improve your jawline and facial structure, I can confirm you are correct, and Mewing works, for jawline is my most notable feature expressed by new acquaintances.

I wish I could, but this is the new me. After successfully building an artificial savant syndrome inducing machine [Patent Pending], I have obtained extraordinary abilities and talents in specific areas, notably written communication and understanding. I will use these newly acquired abilities to score a 180 in April. Regretfully, this trade off comes at a great cost to normies, such as yourself, who have to endure my rather mechanical expressive syntax.
