English Translation

The fiancee was obliged to declare in writing before the marriage office that there were no obstacles to marriage under imperial law or under Section 2 of this Regulation and, where appropriate, to prove it. If there was an obstacle, he was not allowed to consent to the marriage (§ 3). There is also evidence of perverse thoughtfulness of racial theories, according to which it was possible, with the agreement of the competent authority, to marry a first- or second-degree mixed mate with an aryan, but not a second-grade couple, because, as explained in the present commentary, the second-level mixed species were determined to quickly assimilate in the Aryan environment. (289) Their mutual marriages would thwart this plan of assimilation. The violation of the prohibition of marriage between a Jew and a protectorate member who is not a Jew or a Jewish half-breed with two completely Jewish grandparents was classified in Section 8 as a criminal offence with a sentence from 1 year to 15 years of age. Nor did the regulation respect the most intimate aspects of human life, and in Section 5, it prohibited extramarital sexual intercourse between a Jew and a protectorate who is not a Jew or a Jewish half-breed. The Aryan man who violated the ban on extramarital intercourse with a Jewish woman or a half-breed 1st degree could be punished for a felony by a rigid prison under 5 years of age or for a crime by a dungeon from 1 year to 15 years, depending on the circumstances in which the crime was committed. However, the woman concerned was impunity and could not be punished for participation or horniness, or for concealing or perjury in court or in an administrative capacity. It is not possible not to mention for Jewish men nor an immensely humiliating ban to employ younger Aryan women in Jewish households. Paragraph 6 prohibited the employment of protectorate members under 45 years of age who are not Jewish or Jewish half-breeds (there was therefore no distinction between the degree of half-carcasses) in the household in which the adult Jewish man is "the preference of the household" or belongs to the "home community." At the same time, the regulation allowed a protectorate who was already employed in the Jewish household on the day of the publication of the regulation to remain if the 35th year of age was completed until the date on which the provisions of this paragraph became effective. Paragraph 6 did not apply to:
