Definición

  • Marriage is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as “the formal union of a man and a woman, typically as recognized by law, by which they become husband and wife.” Marriage as an institution has existed across the millennia, although it has often taken different forms. Marriage is usually highly valued by both the couple and the wider society, which tends to see it as an important means of regulating sexual expression within permitted limits.
