MarriageBot refers to a genre of Discord bots that allow users to simulate relationships by “marrying,” “adopting,” and building extensive family trees within a server.
This is not a dating app. It is a roleplay tool designed to build community spirit. By letting members designate each other as “Mom,” “Dad,” or “Sibling,” servers can foster a sense of belonging and closeness, turning a list of usernames into a digital family.
🌏 Why MarriageBot? (The “Pamilya” Culture)
This bot category exploded in popularity across Asian servers, particularly in the Philippines, due to a unique cultural phenomenon.
1. The Internet Family
In many online communities, close friends refer to each other as family (e.g., Kuya for big brother, Ate for big sister). It’s a way of showing affection and trust without blood relation.
2. Visualizing Connections
Before bots, these titles were just text. MarriageBot visualizes these bonds. Seeing a generated Family Tree that shows User A and User B “adopted” User C creates a tangible history for the community. It is a massive retention tool for social servers.
⚙️ Key Features
While bots like OwO, Mudae, and Mantaro have marriage features, dedicated MarriageBots focus on the Family Tree.
💍 Marriage
Users can propose. If accepted, the bot records the anniversary date and sometimes grants shared perks (like a joint wallet).
👶 Adoption
You can “adopt” other server members as your children. This creates a generational hierarchy (Parent -> Child -> Grandchild).
🌳 Family Tree Generation
The most popular feature. The bot generates a visual diagram or text list showing how everyone in the server is connected.
💔 Divorce
Relationships can be ended instantly via command. This adds drama and dynamic changes to the server’s social landscape.
💻 Essential Command List
These commands work on most marriage-enabled bots (though prefixes may vary).
💍 Relationships
| Command | Description |
| /marry @User | Proposes to a user. They must accept. |
| /divorce @User | Ends the marriage. |
| /adopt @User | Asks a user to be your child. |
| /parent @User | Asks a user to adopt you. |
| /disown @User | Removes a child from your family tree. |
🌳 Visuals
| Command | Description |
| /tree (or /family) | Generates the visual family tree. |
| /siblings | Lists your brothers and sisters. |
🚀 Setup Tutorial: Getting Started
Setting up is easy, but managing the “Roleplay” aspect requires care.
Step 1: Invite the Bot
Search for a dedicated MarriageBot or a multi-purpose bot with marriage features (like OwO) on Top.gg.
- Permissions: Grant “Send Messages,” “Embed Links,” and “Mention Users.”
Step 2: Configure Roles (Optional but Recommended)
Some bots can auto-assign roles.
- Create a role named 💍 Married.
- In the bot settings (e.g., /settings role), link this role to the marriage status.
- Important: Drag the Bot’s role ABOVE the “Married” role in server settings, or it won’t be able to assign it.
Step 3: Create a Dedicated Channel
Commands like /marry and /tree take up a lot of screen space.
- Create a channel named #family-tree or #bot-commands.
- Restrict the bot from sending messages in general chat to keep conversations clean.
❓ FAQ: Common Questions
Q: Can I marry multiple people?
A: Usually, No.
Most bots default to Monogamy (one partner). However, some premium versions or specific bots allow “Harem Mode” (polygamy) if the server admin enables it.
Q: Can I marry myself?
A: No.
Most bots will return an error message like “You can’t marry yourself, loner.”
Q: What happens if I leave the server?
A: The marriage stays.
Most bots use a Global Database. Your marriage is tied to your User ID, not the server. If you meet your spouse in a different server with the same bot, you will still be married there.
Q: Is there a limit to family size?
A: Yes.
To prevent lag, bots usually cap the number of children (e.g., 10 kids). You may need to pay for Premium to expand your family limit.
Q: Can siblings marry?
A: No.
Good bots have “Incest Blocks.” If User A and User B are registered as siblings or parent/child in the tree, the bot will block the /marry command between them.
🌟 Admin Tip: Managing Drama
While fun, these bots can cause social friction.
- “It’s Just a Game”: Make it clear in your rules that bot marriages are Roleplay Only (RP) and do not imply real-life dating.
- No Forced Marriages: Ensure members know they can decline proposals. The bot requires mutual consent (/accept), so no one can be married against their will.
Next Step for You: Invite a MarriageBot, propose to your best friend in the server, and start building your dynasty!
