ChatGPT just "divorced" a couple before they even finished their cake. 🍰🚫
A judge in Zwolle - the Netherland just voided a marriage because the officiant let AI write the vows, forgetting the legal parts. Turns out, "I promise to stand by you" isn't the same as "I legally accept the duties of marriage."
The Lesson:
• Legal vs. Poetic: The law doesn't care about your "vibes" if the mandatory text is missing.
• AI is a Tool, Not a Lawyer: ChatGPT is great for poems, terrible for Art. 1:67 of the Dutch Civil Code.
• The "Pro" Check: Always ensure the official registrar confirms the legal wording before the ceremony.
