1765.001 (2) Intent. It is the intent of chs. 765 to 768 to promote the stability
2and best interests of marriage and the family. It is the intent of the legislature to
3recognize the valuable contributions of both spouses during the marriage and at
4termination of the marriage by dissolution or death. Marriage is the institution that
5is the foundation of the family and of society. Its stability is basic to morality and
6civilization, and of vital interest to society and the state. The consequences of the
7marriage contract are more significant to society than those of other contracts, and
8the public interest must be taken into account always. The seriousness of marriage
9makes adequate premarital counseling and education for family living highly
10desirable and courses thereon are urged upon all persons contemplating marriage.
11The impairment or dissolution of the marriage relation generally results in injury
12to the public wholly apart from the effect upon the parties immediately concerned.
13Under the laws of this state, marriage is a legal relationship between 2 equal
14persons, a husband and wife, who owe to each other mutual responsibility and
15support. Each spouse has an equal obligation in accordance with his or her ability
16to contribute money or services or both which are necessary for the adequate support
17and maintenance of his or her minor children and of the other spouse. No spouse may
18be presumed primarily liable for support expenses under this subsection.

SB464,82,23 20765.01 A civil contract. Marriage, so far as its validity at law is concerned,
21is a civil contract, to which the consent of the parties capable in law of contracting
22is essential, and which creates the legal status of husband and wife spouse to each
23other.

SB464,83,2

1765.02 (3) Marriage may be contracted between persons of the same sex or
2different sexes.

SB464,83,144 765.03 (1) No marriage shall be contracted while either of the parties has a
5husband or wife spouse living, nor between persons who are nearer of kin than 2nd
6cousins except that marriage may be contracted between first cousins where the
7female has attained the age of 55 years or where if either party, at the time of
8application for a marriage license, submits an affidavit signed by a physician stating
9that either party is permanently sterile or that the 2 parties are otherwise
10permanently biologically incapable of producing a child together. Relationship
11under this section shall be computed by the rule of the civil law, whether the parties
12to the marriage are of the half or of the whole blood. A marriage may not be
13contracted if either party has such want of understanding as renders him or her
14incapable of assenting to marriage.

SB464,83,2116 765.12 (1) (a) If ss. 765.02, 765.05, 765.08, and 765.09 are complied with, and
17if there is no prohibition against or legal objection to the marriage, the county clerk
18shall issue a marriage license. With each marriage license the county clerk shall
19provide information describing the causes and effects of fetal alcohol syndrome and
20the dangers to a fetus from the mother's use of cocaine or other drugs by the pregnant
21person during pregnancy.
