Bureaucratically Arranged Marriage: Difference between revisions

* The "Marriage Contract" story is an [[Fandom-Specific Plot|entire subgenre]] in ''[[Harry Potter]]'' [[Fan Fiction]], with two basic varieties: A) Harry finds that he is bound by a contract written before his birth (sometimes ''centuries'' before) to marry J. Random Girl, and he can do nothing to get out of it; and B) After the defeat of Voldemort, sympathizers who (''still'') remain in power in the Ministry ram through a bill to force Muggle-born to marry Purebloods -- ostensibly to "save" Pureblood family lines in danger of extinction, but also (or really) to punish the winners of the war by forcing them into magically-enforced submission to undercover Death Eaters.
