999.6.1 – MARRIAGE

1. Marriage: the state of being married: wedlock; the act of marrying or the
ceremony of being married . (reference from – Webster's Dictionary)

*A socially or ritually recognized union or legal contract between spouses
that establishes rights and obligations between them, between them and
their children, and between them and their in-laws. The definition of
marriage varies according to different cultures, but it is principally an
institution in which interpersonal relationships, usually sexual, are
acknowledged. In some cultures, marriage is recommended or considered
to be compulsory before pursuing any sexual activity. When defined
broadly, marriage is considered a cultural universal. (reference from –
Webster's Dictionary)

*Legally and socially sanctioned union, usually between a man and a
woman, that is regulated by laws, rules, customs, beliefs, and attitudes that
prescribe the rights and duties of the partners and accords status to their
offspring (if any). The universality of marriage is attributed to the many
basic social and personal functions it performs, such as procreation,
regulation of sexual behaviour, care of children and their education and
socialization, regulation of lines of descent, division of labour between the
sexes, economic production and consumption, and satisfaction of personal
needs for social status, affection, and companionship. (reference from –

2. Couple: two persons married, engaged or otherwise romantically paired; two
persons paired together. (reference from – Merriam-Webster's Dictionary)
