Can a Vow Be Undone?

The question comes up often: If this is called a blockchain marriage, can it be divorced? The answer requires understanding what we actually record.

A traditional marriage is a legal contract. It creates obligations, merges assets, grants rights. Because it binds the future, it requires a mechanism for dissolution. Divorce exists because the contract exists.

The Vow Ritual records something different: not a contract, but a moment.

When two people stand together and speak their vow — when that moment is captured and written into the blockchain — what gets preserved is not an obligation but a fact. This happened. These words were spoken. This love was real at this moment in time.

Facts cannot be divorced. Tuesday cannot be undone. The moment you stood on that mountain, or in that room, or wherever you chose to anchor your love — that moment occurred. It is now part of the permanent record.

What happens if the relationship ends?

The relationship may change. It may end. People evolve, circumstances shift, love transforms or fades. This is the nature of human experience.

But none of this changes what happened.

A photograph of a happy moment doesn't become false because later there was sadness. A letter written in love doesn't lose its truth because the love eventually changed form. The moment was real when it was real.

The Vow Ritual preserves the moment, not the future. It says: At this point in time, this love existed, and it was worth recording.

If years later the relationship has ended, the record remains — not as a chain, but as a testament. Evidence that once, two people felt something true enough to want it preserved.

Why no deletion?

We do not offer a way to remove a vow from the blockchain. This is intentional.

The immutability is the point. If the record could be erased, it would not serve its function. The psychological anchor works precisely because it cannot be undone — because returning to it means returning to something that is permanently true.

Some may find this uncomfortable. We understand. But we believe that moments of genuine love deserve to exist in the record, even when what follows is painful. The moment was real. Erasing it would be a lie.

The honest position

We do not promise that love will last. We do not claim to bind the future. We create no legal obligations and require no legal process to end.

What we offer is simpler: a way to say this moment happened and have that statement be permanently, verifiably true.

Whether the relationship lasts fifty years or ends next month, the vow remains what it always was — a record of a moment when two people chose each other and wanted that choice preserved.

That moment cannot be divorced. It can only be remembered.
