According to the world definition, 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."

But what is the reason why people get married?

Maybe they 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.
Indeed, love should be the main reason of a marriage, but through our blog, you will see that it is not always the case by the cultures, the countries, and the manner they marry.
