Till blockchain do us part

By Moris Beracha.- The blockchain technology is a public database decentralized in a computer network that is used to record all kinds of transactions.

Roma Siri, born on November 8, 2015, also known as the “Baby Blockchain”, was the first human being whose birth was registered in the blockchain.

Now in 2019, some public institutions worldwide have decided to make official records through the blockchain and the United States has been a pioneer in this activity.

According to an article published by the Associates Press (AP) news agency, it was known that some counties in the state of Nevada are using the best known online registry book in the world to store digital versions of birth and marriage certificates.

“The Reno Gazette-Journal reports that as of December in Washoe County, about 950 couples had received secure digital marriage certificates to home computers and smartphones since the program debuted in April 2018,” reads the memo published by the news agency.

The advantage of these digital certificates is that contracting a marriage under the laws of man could become a voluntary act with practically a universal scope.

It should be noted that some citizens would not be willing to sacrifice their physical marriage certificate for a blockchain registry; however, it is very likely that in the not too distant future, paper records will be a thing of the past.

Now, a question that comes to mind is how would the new procedure for divorces be; can they be specified with a judge order and pressing “Delete”?

Technology is here to stay, and it is unreasonable to think that couples will modify their wedding vows and ceremonies, ending them with the phrase “till blockchain do us part”.
