I often read here that getting a marriage stamp in your passport is now optional. And some people write that because of this, it's no longer clear if a man is married. Personally, I haven't experienced this; I have the stamp. But I still wondered: if you don't get it, how do people even know if someone is single or not? On one hand, you can find out a lot these days. On the other hand, I read stories where women found out their partner was married during the relationship. And not just because of the stamp: a person might say they're divorced, that they live separately, or show someone else's documents... To me, it's not so much about the stamp itself, but about whether the person is willing to be honest. Still, the stamp is at least some visible information. Do you have the stamp in your passport? And what do you think: does its absence really change anything, or can you be deceived in any situation?
When I was in fourth grade, they did this—are you going to do it too? I'm torn about whether it's ne…

You can be fooled in any case, my husband and I have the stamp anyway 😁

It's official.
For some, it's just a smudge, but for those who value their relationship, it's a commitment.
To each their own, and not everyone gets their own.

I have the stamp, but I can't imagine a situation where I'd ask someone to show me their passport stamp...

We both have the stamps because we're officially married. But that's not a guarantee of anything at all.

Why peek into other people's male passports?

I've never even thought about getting a marriage certificate in my relationships. Plus, I know several couples who are divorced in practice but not officially (due to kids, mortgages, benefits, and other factors), so it's not really a good indicator.

Well, I haven't seen any situations yet where someone asks for your passport to check for a stamp when you first meet 😂 And the rest is up to your conscience)

Okay, so he's not officially married, like, really not married. But what if he's living with someone else in a common-law marriage and is also messing with other people? It happens all the time.

Didn't ask for her passport, maybe that's why she was hitting on married guys 😂 My husband and I are good.

Kochukov Aleksandr Well, he's a free man. Cohabitation is just cohabitation, he doesn't owe his partner anything.

Elenaa I guess many people just don't understand others if they date married people for years. It seems strange to me.

Kochukov Aleksandr Not necessarily. Many obligations are now formalized without a stamp in the passport, but through a notary. And that doesn't change the fact, if he's a dog, he's a dog. What does 'should' or 'shouldn't' have to do with it?

Kochukov Aleksandr I don't think notaries handle non-financial matters 😁 Besides, if someone wants a family with you, they'll go to the civil registry office. If not, they're just comfortable cohabiting. Why go to the civil registry if you're already getting everything you need for free without it?

Elenaa I agree. I met my husband when I was 18, and he was 6 years older. I even asked for his ID on our third date, even though I had only planned to meet him casually.

Kochukov Aleksandr It happens that a woman doesn't want to get married. After my first marriage, I swore I wouldn't get "stained" again. After 3 rejected proposals, mine seems to have accepted it. You can use a person with or without a marriage certificate. And by the way, divorce, although costly, is also easy. Paternity without a certificate is also done by agreement. Everything is the same, except for the hassle later with divorce if something happens. It's even funny that someone truly believes the certificate plays a special role. My father got married 5 times last year. I wonder what value he placed on those certificates)) And his wives probably all thought it was so serious.

Elenaa When I renewed my passport, I only had my registration.

Elenaa 🤷🏼 I had my passport replaced because it was 20 years old, and my husband got his replaced because he lost his. Everything was updated automatically everywhere.
