NounSingular marriage Plural marriages marriage (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, most often 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 love. Marriage practices are very diverse across cultures, may take many forms, and are often formalized by a ceremony called 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. External recognition can manifest in a variety of ways. Some examples include 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.

Q. I have heard that you can easily find a marriage license copy online and without having to pay a fee. Is this true? I would love to get a copy of my deceased parents' marriage license if I can. It would be a nice thing to frame and to keep on the wall to remember them by. So, can you find copies of marriage licenses online or is this just an urban myth? Asked by Denise - Mon Sep 28 01:19:39 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. It's a myth my friend. Unfortunately, marriage licenses are not considered public records and you definitely cannot see any public records for free online. The minions who put the information into the databases and the companies who look the stuff up have to get paid somehow, right? But, you can access marriage records online at many public records sites. A reputable one is www.recordssitereviews.co m/marriage_records.php.

The bride's maiden name, the groom's name, the city, county, and/or state where the… [cont.] Answered by Leslie - Mon Sep 28 01:37:41 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "marriage" Quotes about marriage.
