Marriage

Marriage is a legally and formally recognized union between individuals that establishes rights and obligations between them, their children, and their in-laws. It typically involves a commitment to a partnership that encompasses emotional, social, and often economic aspects. While the definition of marriage may vary across different cultures and religions, it commonly includes elements of companionship, mutual support, and fidelity. In many societies, marriage is celebrated through ceremonies and rituals that signify the bond and commitment of the partners to one another. Additionally, marriage often impacts legal matters such as property rights, inheritance, and taxation. Different forms of marriage exist, including monogamy (union of two individuals), polygamy (union involving multiple spouses), and civil unions.
