Question

Write short note on forms of marriage.

Answer 1

The type, functions, and characteristics of marriage vary from culture to culture, and can change over time. In general there are two types: civil marriage and religious marriage, and typically marriages employ a combination of both (religious marriages must often be licensed and recognized by the state, and conversely civil marriages, while not sanctioned under religious law, are nevertheless respected). Marriages between people of differing religions are called interfaith marriages, while marital conversion, a more controversial concept than interfaith marriage, refers to the religious conversion of one partner to the other's religion for sake of satisfying a religious requirement.

Answer 2

There are different forms of marriages such as monogamy, polygamy and group marriage.

Polygamy marriages have two types such as polygyny and polyandry.

Monogamy marriage is most common form and here a man can marry a woman and they should live their marriage life till death.

But in the case of polygamy marriage, a woman can have two or more husbands at the same time.
