Document Summary
Choosing your partner because you love them. Arranged marriage in other parts of the world. As an institution, it is completely organized around different types of rights, protections, responsibilities. Not as traditional or high as we think. There has to be a clear difference. Marriage relationships that seem to have some transactional or financial motivation are thought of as distasteful or subject to critique. Moral and ethical boundary to thinking of marriage and love to benefit financial transactions. Difference between partner and husband/wife, one relationship supported by the spouse economically and one with a sexual relationship - is love. Married two people off to consolidate alliances between two families. Allowed for family property to be passed down, keeps property in the family. Lots of different transitions, marriage from outside the family and within the family (incest, marrying cousins) A lot of instances allowing men for extra marital affairs, people look away and let them do this.
