Marriage, a Beautiful relation between a man and a
women. Marriage is that relation between man and woman in which the
independence is equal, the dependence mutual, and the obligation
reciprocal. Marriage is a social union or legal contract between people
that create their relation and two lives joined together, two heart that
beats as one. Marriage signifies the birth of a new spirit, a spirit
which is a part of each of us, yet not of any one of us alone. This
"birth of spirit" reminds us of spring, the season when all life is
reborn and blooms again.
Marriage is a relation to build each other up, to strengthen and sustain, to keep companionship lovely and alive with dignity respect and understanding. Almost every marriage starts out as a huge celebration. Together with their family and friends, each couple is full of hopes and dreams for their future life together.A happy marriage perhaps represents the ideal of human relationship, a setting in which each partner, while acknowledging the need of the other, feels free to be what he or she by nature is: a relationship in which instinct as well as intellect can find expression; in which giving and taking are equal; in which each accepts the other Marriage is a social union or legal contract between people that create their relation.
Marriage is the union of two different surnames, in friendship and in love, in order to continue the posterity of the former sages, and to furnish those who shall preside at the sacrifices to heaven and earth, at those in the ancestral temple, and at those at the altars to the spirits of the land and grain. Marriage is a relation in which three things remain Faith, Hope and love. These three things are the key to successful marriage.
A marriage is usually formalized at a wedding or marriage ceremony. The ceremony may be officiated either by a religious official, by a government official or by a state approved celebrant.
Pakistan and other Muslim countries Marriages:
Marriage in Islam is sacred, not just in terms of the ceremony itself but as a stage in life as a whole. In many Muslim countries Marriage is recommended as a religious requirement. In muslim cultures and countries like Pakistan, U.A.E, Iran, Iraq etc ,living together is not allowed before marriage.Therefore,the couple needs to go through the marriage rituals before they can live together their lives. Traditional muslim marriages are always big events.In muslim culture marriage is an occasion where friends,family and neighbours are all invited. Brides wear heavily ornated dresses and gold jewellery.
For a marriage to take place certain conditions are required:
1. Consent of both parties.
2. Mehr which is gift to the bride from the groom.
3. Witnesses.
4. The marriage should be publicized not kept as secret.
Nikah and Mehr:
The only requirement for Muslim weddings is the signing of a marriage contract called" Nikah".The bride and the groom mutually agree and sign the contract and it shows their consent.. At the nikah ceremony two witness are required the nikah contract also includes Mehr. The new couple repeat the word Qabul which means in Arabic “I accept” three times. After the mutual acceptance, bride and the groom and the two witnesses sign the nikah contract. Which makes the marriage legal according to the religious and civil laws. The next day after the marriage the groom holds a grand feast called Walima.Relatives,friends and neighbours are invited it's a way to announce to others about the new marriage.
European and some Latin American countries Marriages:
There any religious ceremony must be held separately from the required civil ceremony. Some countries – such as Belgium, Bulgaria, France, the Netherlands, Romania and Turkey– require that a civil ceremony take place before any religious one. In some countries – notably the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Norway and Spain – both ceremonies can be held together; the officiant at the religious and civil ceremony also serving as agent of the state to perform the civil ceremony. To avoid any implication that the state is "recognizing" a religious marriage (which is prohibited in some countries) – the "civil" ceremony is said to be taking place at the same time as the religious ceremony. Often this involves simply signing a register during the religious ceremony. If the civil element of the religious ceremony is omitted, the marriage is not recognized by government under the law.
While some countries, such as Australia, permit marriages to be held in private and at any location, others, including England and Wales, require that the civil ceremony be conducted in a place open to the public and specially sanctioned by law. In England, the place of marriage need no longer be a church or register office, but could also be a hotel, historic building or other venue that has obtained the necessary license. An exception can be made in the case of marriage by special emergency license, which is normally granted only when one of the parties is terminally ill. Rules about where and when persons can marry vary from place to place. Some regulations require that one of the parties reside in the locality of the registry office.
Within the parameters set by the law of the jurisdiction in which a marriage or wedding takes place, each religious authority has rules for the manner in which weddings are to be conducted by their officials and members.
India and other Hindu Countries:
The Indian subcontinent has historically been home to a wide variety of wedding systems. Some were unique to the region, such as Brahma marriage, Daiva marriage, Arsha marriage, Prajapatya marriage, Gandharva marriage, Asura marriage, Rakshasa marriage and Paishacha marriage. Their religious requirement is that their religion should be same, and sometimes there is insistence that the sub-denomination should be the same as well . Astrological signs/attributes should be compatible, if the two families believe in it; certain attributes are given weight, for instance mangal dosh, which was believed to cause marital discord, poor health and an early death for one of the spouses if an incompatibility existed.
Overall, marriage is a legal or religious ceremony by which two persons agree to spend their lives with each other until death. Marriage is your destiny, to begin each new day together, to share our lives together so we may with one voice glorify God.One of the good things that come of a true marriage is, that there is one face on which changes come without your seeing them; or rather there is one face which you can still see the same, through all the shadows which years have gathered upon it. ~George MacDonald
