Marriage

Marriage is a legally and socially recognized union between two individuals, typically formalized through a ceremony, that establishes rights and obligations between them. It often involves a commitment to a lifelong partnership, encompassing emotional, physical, and legal aspects. Marriage can vary widely in terms of customs, laws, and cultural significance across different societies. In many cultures, it is associated with the establishment of a family and is marked by various rituals and traditions. Legal recognitions of marriage confer certain benefits and responsibilities, such as inheritance rights, tax advantages, and the ability to make medical decisions for a partner. Marriage can be between individuals of different genders or the same gender, depending on legal and cultural norms in a given area.
