What do you christians think about the orfi marriage?
Do you think that it is acceptable marriage form in the eyes of god or not? If there is no abuse of the contract like destroying the marriage paper so there would not be any prove that it existed.
I will quote some information about the orfi in here, in case you don't know about it.
" Orfi is a contract between a man and a woman stating that they are married. It is something that has only been used for a few decades, and over the course of this time, has been created by many people. However, with the introduction of marriage through a legal court system, and through the negative comments about orfi from the media, the orfi contract is being used less and less."
"The orfi contract is created when a man and woman ask a lawyer to create an orfi marriage contract for them (though in some cases, the couple creates the contract by themselves in private). Two male witnesses are required for the process of the contract, and both parties will be asked to sign it. This process may take 10 minutes, and the couple will walk out of the lawyer's office with a marriage contract, however, all that has to happen to that contract is that it get destroyed or damaged, and the couple is no longer married. This is to say that the contract is just a piece of paper. It may not prove a marriage exists, and it is certainly not accepted as a form of marriage in other countries. It is not registered with the government, and therefore cannot be proven outside of showing the original document (which is, even then, not accepted). If the contract were to ever get destroyed, the “husband” would be allowed to take whatever he wanted from the woman, as well as to be able to “escape” if the woman were to ever become pregnant. The orfi contract provides all of the “luxuries” of being married, without any of the responsibilities. "
