Marriage Over The Internet? 6
lineNoise-nuptuals asks: "I am resident of Detroit, MI, and I am in a relationship with an Asian lady. For reasons of our own, we wish to getting married over the Internet. Has anybody have any experience in this? I know some of my foreign friends living in America, marrying their spouses in their home country over the phone and it is supposedly very legal. The marriage was conducted by their country's local marriage authority. Can this be conducted in America, or more specifically, Detroit? Do you know any local marriage authority willing to perform such a service?"

Would those be churches practicing Unix to Unix protocol? Seems appropriate. The old fashioned way was over a ham radio link, but that was before spam deluged every known form of communication.

Anyway, the digital signature law would seem to clear up one obstacle. Some (all?) US states require a blood test (for syphilis) before you can get a marriage license, and that seems hard to do over the net. Plus your fiancee's country may not have a digital signature law corresponding to ours. Anyway you don't find out whether it works til you try it--you'll be a pioneer.
