Nounmarriage (plural marriages)
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Marriage is a social union or legal contract between individuals that creates kinship. It is an institution in which interpersonal relationships, usually intimate and sexual, are acknowledged in a variety of ways, depending on the culture or subculture in which it is found. Such a union may also be called matrimony, while the ceremony that marks its beginning is usually called a wedding. People marry for many reasons, including one or more of the following: legal, social, emotional, economical, spiritual, and religious. These might include arranged marriages, family obligations, the legal establishment of a nuclear family unit, the legal protection of children and public declaration of commitment. Marriage practices are very diverse across cultures, may take many forms, and are often formalized by a wedding. The act of marriage usually creates normative or legal obligations between the individuals involved. In some societies these obligations also extend to certain family members of the married persons. Almost all cultures that recognize marriage also recognize adultery as a violation of the terms of marriage. Marriage is usually recognized by the state, a religious authority, or both. It is often viewed as a contract. Civil marriage is the legal concept of marriage as a governmental institution irrespective of religious affiliation, in accordance with marriage laws of the jurisdiction. If recognized by the state, by the religion(s) to which the parties belong or by society in general, the act of marriage changes the personal and social status of the individuals who enter into it.

I've heard some of the anti-gay marriage folks here argue that gays should have civil unions, but they shouldn't be allowed to marry, because of the religious ramifications of marriage. Does marriage always have a religious undertone, though? After all, there are plenty of straight couples who get married in civil ceremonies. Asked by tangerine - Tue Apr 28 14:58:45 2009 - - 10 Answers - 1 Comments A. I was married in a civil ceremony. I do not follow a religion. If they were logically consistent, they would be opposed to it, but the issue is more about bigotry, control, and obedience more than it is about being reasonable. Answered by JC - Tue Apr 28 15:03:26 2009 Would a marriage of two people of different cultures could actually work out ? Q. I'm very curious about this, if you married someone who is from a different race then you, would it be able to actually work out. Because i have this friend she is chinese and i'm vietnamese we both been really good friends with each other, we do stuff like study together and hangout and make youtube videos. But would it ever be possible for us to have a relationship together ? It would really cool if i could start a relationship or even marriage with her. Do you think it's actually possible ? Asked by Kenneth - Fri Sep 18 15:40:02 2009 - - 12 Answers - 0 Comments A. Everything is possible what feels good! Go for it if you like her! Differences attract a lot on a short run. Because you are both young you will be able to CREATE your own culture, something not exactly like hers but not anymore yours. That is specific for mixed marriages who live happy for many years together. Well known fact: children of "mixed blood" come absolutely beautiful!

Q. Alright so I'm military and my boyfriend is a civilian. He has a grant and we want to get married but don't want to affect his grant money. How would marriage change this and is there some way to get around this or possibly a way into marriage where we can keep our finances somewhat separate. He still lives with his parents and is going to school as of right now. We want to get married but also want him to get all of his grant money. Asked by Ninerznina - Thu Oct 2 00:22:01 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Surely he had to sign a contract to get his money. Read that contract. If it is not understandable to you, you may need to have a lawyer read it for you.
