New Hampshire HB1615 establishes contract-based marriage agreements as an alternative to marriage licenses.

New Hampshire HB1615 introduces a new form of marriage called a "contract marriage," which allows consenting adults to enter into legally recognized agreements without requiring a marriage license. These agreements are governed by civil contract law and are enforceable in designated civil courts. The bill outlines specific requirements for forming, filing, and dissolving contract marriages, including the use of a "Certificate of Contract Marriage" and a "Declaration of Conversion." Child welfare and support obligations remain governed by existing laws, and family law does not apply to.
