[ExI] Could You (Will You) Marry a Robot?

[Darin Sunley]

Marriage is definitionally a legal arrangement between two rights-bearing
atomic political units within a local or national government, primarily
providing tax sheltering. Certain other legal protections and legal
privileges are attached as well.

Until and unless a robot is an atomic political unit, you can't marry one.
