Rules & Regulations
The following information are the Rules & Regulations for your marriage to your doll.
It is obligatory to have thoroughly read this page when applying for a marriage license. Accordingly, you will confirm this by marking the corresponding checkbox when submitting your application.
Please note: hereafter, unless marked differently, all terms associated with “engagement”, “wedding”, “marriage”, etc. refer solely to corresponding relationships by standards of DollWedding.net.
License
L1 – Who can get married at your website?
Basically, all human adults (over 18 years), who legally own a physical doll appearing as an adult, may marry their darling on our website. For instance, this could be a TPE doll, a silicone doll, a manga doll, a teddy babe, a phicen, etc.
Of course, it doesn’t matter at all whether or not you and your doll have different gender identities. Your gender identities will only be important for terminological reasons (wife, husband, spouse) when setting up your wedding ceremony.
We do, however, reserve the right to revoke or suspend marriage licenses and also annul marriages without prior notice and without stating reasons. Please be assured, though, that we will never do this without good reason.
Expressly excluded from our service are:
- Marriage to a doll which, in any way, appears as a child or is modeled after a child
- Marriage to a digital replica, chatbot, AI, etc.
- Marriage between dolls
L2 – How official are those weddings?
By standards of DollWedding.net, they are as official as it gets. You will receive an entry in our international Dolls’ Marriage Registry and you can have a wedding certificate.
Otherwise, they may be comparable with weddings at sea performed by ship’s captains: highly romantic and meaningful but please don’t expect any tax benefits.
L3 – How and when can I marry my doll?
Basically, you will fix your own wedding date.
However, you will not be able to marry your doll immediately. This is not Vegas, you know. We don’t want you and your doll to “elope”. We wish for you to be certain.
Therefore, the earliest date you can set for your wedding ceremony is 8 days from the present day (UTC). (Admittedly, with a little trick, you can cut the waiting period to 1 day.) The latest date possible will always be 180 days from the present day (UTC).
At first, you will need to apply for a marriage license so that we can set up the wedding ceremony that you will be celebrating. To do so, please proceed as follows:
- Click on Marry Your Doll.
- Select your wedding day and enter the information required into the relevant fields. Be sure to select the correct options from the dropdowns.
- Important: please confirm to have thoroughly read the information at Rules & Regulations, which is this page, by marking the corresponding checkbox.

Within a few minutes, you will receive a congratulatory e-mail providing a link to your ceremony as well as the login data consisting of your license-ID and a PIN.
You will have a 28-day time window during which you can celebrate your ceremony. This time window will begin 7 days prior to and end 21 days after the designated wedding day.
L4 – What if my doll and I got married already? Can we have retroactive acknowledgement?
Expressly yes!
In order to apply for retroactive acknowledgement, there are two ways available:
- The romantic way: why not simply marry your doll again? Your doll will love it! If you wish to do so, please apply for a marriage license here: Marry Your Doll
- The pragmatic way: please use the same application form (Marry Your Doll) to provide all the information required to have your marriage registered.
Within a few minutes after submitting your application, you will receive an e-mail containing a confirmation link. Please click on the link to confirm your application within 24 hours.
Once you have confirmed your application, your marriage will be registered and confirmed, provided you chose the “pragmatic way”. If you chose the “romantic way”, please refer to L3.
L5 – What if I miss a deadline?
There are two important deadlines:
- The license application must be confirmed within 24 hours.
- The ceremony must be celebrated and concluded within its 28-day time window.
(The latter is, of course, not applicable in case of a retroactively acknowledged marriage.)
If you fail to observe either deadline, the marriage license or license application, whichever is applicable, will automatically expire. In such case, you can immediately apply for a new marriage license by the same rules and regulations here: Marry Your Doll
L6 – Do I have to submit my full real name?
Expressly no!
As a matter of fact, we would rather recommend to not enter the human spouse’s full last name as all entries of the Dolls’ Marriage Registry will be public. Maybe, society has just not come far enough, yet.
Therefore, please submit your first name or nickname solely as well as, of course, your doll’s first name. You may consider to add the first letter of your last name after your and your doll’s first names.
Optionally, you can add call names for you and your doll to be addressed by during your ceremony, if applicable, in case you have a Master Of Ceremony. In the registry, the “full” name will be displayed.
Names must begin with a non-accented capital letter or umlaut and be at least 2 characters in length. Legal characters are accented and non-accented letters of the basic Latin alphabet (A-Z, a-z), umlauts (Ä, ä, Ö, ö, Ü, ü), sharp S (ß), space ( ), hyphen (-), quotation mark ("), apostrophe (') and abbreviation point (.). No digits or other special characters.
Of course, you are not allowed to choose names of insulting, racist, illegal, etc. character. This may lead to your marriage license be revoked or, if applicable, your marriage be annulled as we reserve the right to do so.
L7 – Which data are collected?
In order to set up your ceremony, for terminological reasons (wife, husband, etc.), we will need to know your and your doll’s gender identities.
Of your personal data, we will only need your e-mail address as this will be our means of communication. Most importantly, by e-mail, we will send you the link and login data to your ceremony as well as further options described hereafter.
Furthermore, we will send you reminders on the day the time window for your wedding ceremony opens as well as on your selected wedding date, provided you have not yet celebrated and concluded your ceremony.
Your e-mail address will not be visible anywhere on our website and, of course, we will not give your e-mail address to any third party. Also, we will not contact you without reason and we will not bother you with newsletters.
Please also refer to our Privacy Policy.
.L8 – Is any paperwork required?
Of course, presentation of identity documents or other paperwork is not required.
L9 – What if I’m yet (or still) married to a human?
This is solely about marriages by standards of DollWedding.net. We couldn’t care less about other marriage registries. You may have to sort this out for yourself.
L10 – What if I have more than one doll?
Well, you’ll have to make up your mind then. We highly recommend, however, to only consider marriage if you have an undisputed number 1 among your dolls.
Both you and your doll are not allowed to simultaneously have more than one marriage and/or marriage license applications and/or to apply for a marriage license while yet (or still) in a valid marriage!
Therefore, you will only be able to apply for a marriage license with your e-mail address if no valid marriage or engagement to get married or unconfirmed application for a wedding license has been registered with that address.
Of course, we are aware that you might have more than one e-mail address enabling you to marry various dolls. As we do not collect any personal data other than your e-mail address, we will hardly be able to check and prevent this. Actually, we wouldn’t want that anyway as we trust in your sincerity.
Still, please be aware: even if you do apply for various marriage licenses and/or marry various dolls and those marriages are registered, only one of those marriages will really be officially valid at most.
Please note: a marriage license and the marriage resulting from this license can only be valid if, at the time of application of the corresponding marriage license, there was no valid marriage or engagement to get married involving you and/or your doll.
If, by chance, we become aware that someone abusively has or is about to have multiple marriages, we reserve the right to annul any of this person’s (or doll’s) marriage licenses and, if applicable, marriages of which we are aware.

That would be great!

It’s up to you whether you will have the ceremony read by a Master Of Ceremony appointed by you instead of playing the audio files provided by us. The wordings will be made available right underneath the audio player.
The e-mail with the login data for your ceremony will include a link to a PDF which should be helpful for your Master Of Ceremony to prepare for the ceremony.
Of course, you may have a Best Man and a Maid Of Honour. (Heck, you may even have a big wedding society at your ceremony.) The Best Man and the Maid Of Honour will not be mentioned in your registry entry, though.
W8 – Do we need any technical equipment?
You should make sure to select a device and a browser with which you can play audio files. Other than that, from our point of view, no further technical equipment will be required.
However, if you wish to record or livestream your ceremony, you will need to find suitable software (e.g. OBS Studio or Streamlabs OBS) and a host (e.g. YouTube or Twitch) by yourself.
W9 – How do we get our entry in the Doll Marriage Registry?
Once you have concluded your ceremony, your marriage will be automatically registered in the Dolls’ Marriage Registry and you will receive a congratulatory e-mail containing a link to your public entry.

Yes, with great pleasure! And as often as you wish! The only restriction is that at least 30 days must have passed since the last ceremony.

You will have a 7-day time window to celebrate and conclude your ceremony, starting immediately. If the time window expires, no disadvantages will arise. You can have a new ceremony set up for immediate celebration at any time.
While your official wedding day will, of course, remain untouched, the dates of the renewals of your vows may also be mentioned in your registry entry if requested. By default, only the last renewal date is displayed but it is also possible to have all or no renewal dates displayed. In order to change the settings, please request a PIN as described above.
Termination
T1 – What if I want to cancel the wedding?
If the ceremony is not celebrated and concluded within its 28-day time window (starting 7 days prior to and ending 21 days after the designated wedding day), the marriage license expires, thus breaking off the engagement to get married.
If you wish to break off the engagement to get married immediately while above mentioned time window has not started, please proceed as follows:
- Click on the link to the ceremony in the congratulatory e-mail received after applying for your marriage license. Alternatively, you can find your record under Engagements and click on your license-ID.
- Enter your login data consisting of your license-ID and PIN in the relevant fields and click the “Send” button.
- Now you can cancel the wedding. The marriage license will be automatically revoked and you will receive confirmation e-mail.
If the ceremony’s time window has already begun, simply let the time window expire as mentioned in the first place.
Once you have broken off the engagement to get married or your marriage license has expired, you can immediately apply for a new marriage license here: Marry Your Doll
T2 – Can I divorce my doll or terminate the marriage?
Yes, but not immediately. Basically, a 90-day separation period must be observed.
If you don’t get along anymore and plan to leave your doll to someone else or you even have to dispose of your doll, please apply to have your marriage terminated as follows:
- Go to your entry in the Dolls’ Marriage Registry or, provided you have your license-ID at hand, click on Request PIN.
- In the relevant field, please enter the e-mail address currently associated with your license and click on “Request PIN”.
- You will receive an e-mail containing links to the available options. The PIN included in those links will remain valid 1 hour.
- Click on the link “SEPARATION” and follow the instructions.
Your application to have your marriage terminated will be confirmed by e-mail. During the separation period, your marriage will still be displayed in the Dolls’ Marriage Registry without any visible note that termination has been applied for.
7 days before expiration of the separation period, you will receive a reminder e-mail. Once the separation period has expired, termination of your marriage will be confirmed by e-mail. At the same time, the marriage including all data previously registered will be deleted from the registry and issued wedding certificates become invalid.
Only once your marriage has been terminated, you can apply for a new marriage license.
This will also apply if your marriage is to be terminated because you have to dispose of your doll so that your doll is no longer alive, so to speak. Observing a 90-day mourning period can’t be asked too much.
T3 – What if I have reconciled with my doll?
That would be great!
If you have reconciled during the 90-day separation period and therefore wish to keep your doll, you can withdraw your application to have your marriage terminated as follows:
- Go to your entry in the Dolls’ Marriage Registry or, provided you have your license-ID at hand, click on Request PIN.
- In the relevant field, please enter the e-mail address currently associated with your license and click on “Request PIN”.
- You will receive an e-mail containing links to the available options. The PIN included in those links will remain valid 1 hour.
- Click on the link “RECONCILIATION” and follow the instructions.
You will then receive an e-mail confirming that your marriage is maintained.
