"It used to be common for reports of illegal violence to come in through the clerics, when the victim went to them for healing, but we have fewer of those now."

Since Victòria became a priestess no one has come to her to report being the victim of anything she'd have killed the perpetrator over. As far as Victòria is concerned this is probably because she successfully scared the perpetrators off from whatever they'd have otherwise tried.

"Usually if they don't want to do anything, nothing will be done, anywhere. It's not the maximum of Lawful, to have laws go unenforced then, but I think it is not, with healthy people, a problem."

With Chelish people? Kind of a problem. But not one that's helped by forcing things.

Victòria is pretty confused about not wanting people who hurt you to be punished for it! Not wanting to go to the Crown over it makes sense, if the Queen hasn't gotten rid of all the Evil guards, but it doesn't make sense to want someone to just hurt you and get away with it.

Korva looks over the suggested law again.

"Maybe we want some kind of system where someone who abandons their spouse hasn't erred as long as they continue supporting the children in the interim, and we can build a system for addressing custody disputes on top of that, possibly including some list of things that should be taken into account as reasons to allow divorce or give one parent custody. I think the core of Delegate Roig's law is very strong, but it sounds like we can't meaningfully vote on this until we have a civil court system to manage it."

"Certainly we couldn't finalize it. I agree, and I think considering those things - and what conditions we might forbid in marriage contracts - are good things to consider going forward. But unless anyone has an urgent objection, I would prefer we begin considering them tomorrow. It's been a long day already."

Nod. That seems reasonable.

He looks around left and right, and sees no obvious dissent. "Alright, committee adjourned for the day. Thank you all."
