A mute can never say "I do" or "yes", are you saying mute cannot get married?

A tree can never say "I do" or "yes".
EDIT: A mute can write, nod, or shake his or her head. Can a tree do that?

The rules of marriage are set by separate laws and customs all over the world. A man certainly could marry a tree if such a wacky institution were legally binding somewhere, but I am sure it would be an accurate statement to say that this union is too silly to take seriously because a human and a tree are from two separate kingdoms entirely (biologically speaking) and have very little compatibility!

Well legally, the tree cannot consent in any way we can understand. A mute person can make a sign of some sort indicating consent.
And there are many hilarious reasons why physically trying to consummate a marriage with a tree might be unwise.
But, considering some of the men I've met in my life, I can see why marriage to a tree might have some merit . . .

A tree can't give consent. On the same note you can't know (at the proper time) if the tree would want to, who would get the property after a divorce, and several other legal issues.
Plus, besides dendrophiliacs, who would WANT to marry a tree? Oh, there is also the aspect of a tree's sex and the sex of the human partner and if that would be legal in the country.
Gods, I can't believe I answered this seriously.

Your question give new meaning to the poem "Trees" by Joyce Kilmer. That dude was a fu__ing treeophile!
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

I don't think they make any wedding cake toppers with a guy and a tree. I mean, you could find one that's made of wax and poke pretzel sticks in one of the figurines, but it seems like a crude representation for such a significant symbol. I would look into custom wedding toppers before you pop the question. You don't want to mess up on a detail like that. The tree might see it and get an annulment on the spot. Depending on how picky your tree is. And on whether it can see.

I isn't able to consent to it unless you can talk to it, in which case I'd ask you to see a shrink. Butou could be raping it for all you know and it can't say a thing.
Oh, get a life. Or maybe you want to marry that tree because no one else wants to go near you.
The mute can learn sign language to say yes or no.

The Tree doesn't have the Cognitive Capacity to enter into a Legal or Binding Contract including marriage, and there is always concern for Reckless affairs as they have been Born to Spread their seeds.....
