That was this:
Arbiter: "I am the appointed judge for this county and I find that this marital contract is not valid because it was made by two men."
Voters: "Yay we like Arbiter and re-elect him judge."
...or it could be anything else:
Arbiter: "I am the appointed judge for this county and I find that this marital contract is valid even though it is between a 40-year-old man and a 9-year-old girl."
Voters: "Our outrage is now on all media. We are storming the courthouse with tar and feathers unless Arbiter resigns."
In a representative government, the voters will create pressure to make the arbitration work according to the community standards.
