Create a new dynastic rule named “Marriage” with the following body:
Each Heir has a Spouse, which is a publicly tracked value that defaults to None. If an Heir’s Spouse is set to the name of a Prospect, they are considered to be Married to that Prospect. Each Prospect has a name and description (which are flavor text), Requirements, optionally a Benefit (which applies to the Heir Married to that Spouse), optionally an Alimony and optionally a Gift. If an Heir is Married to a Prospect, no other Heir may have their Spouse set to the name of that Prospect. The list of Prospects is as follows:
Marriage is an atomic action with the following steps:
* Set your Spouse to the name of a Prospect whose Requirements you have met
* Apply the effects of the Gift of that Prospect (if they have one)Divorce is an atomic action with the following steps:
* Apply the Alimony of the Prospect you’re currently Married to (if they have one)
* Set your Spouse to None
Add two new claims: one named “Partnership” with a strength of 20 and the condition “You are Married to a Prospect” and one named “Faithful” with a strength of 10 and the condition “You have not performed the Divorce action during this dynasty”.

JonathanDark: he/him
The requirement of “Partnership” being “You are Married to a Bride” should be “You are Married to a Prospect”, or if that seems awkward, “Your Spouse is not None”. That keeps your gender-neutral language consistent.
Also, there’s the whole “requirement” vs “conditions”, which I guess we still haven’t settled. Might as well take the opportunity to attempt to keep that consistent unless you have confidence that these will become synonyms.
