Marriage - Definitions: Encyclopedia II - Marriage - Definitions

Precise definitions vary historically and between and within cultures: modern understanding emphasizes the legitimacy of sexual relations in marriage, yet the universal and unique attribute of marriage is the creation of affinal ties (in-laws). Traditionally, societies encourage one to marry "out" far enough to strengthen the ties, but "close" enough so that the in-laws are "one of us" or "our kind". One exception to this rule is found in the marriage of royalty, who strengthen their aid through concentration of wealth rather than thr ...

Marriage - Definitions: Encyclopedia II - Nikah Misyar - Definition of a Misyar Marriage

The difference between a Misyar marriage and a normal Nikah is: The couple do not live in one household, but visit each other. The husband is not financially responsible for supporting his wife . It is intended to be a temporary arrangement. But unlike the Nikah Mut'ah, which ends on the expiration date of the contract, the Misyar has no certain date for divorce. The intent of divorce is assumed in this type of marriage, but the time of divorce may not be revealed to the wife prior to the wedding. ...

Marriage - Definitions: Encyclopedia - Marriage

Marriage is a relationship between individuals which has formed the foundation of the family for most societies. Marriage can include legal, social, and religious elements. In western societies, marriage has traditionally been understood as social contract between a man (husband) and a woman (wife), while in other parts of the world polygamy has been the most common form of marriage, usually in the form of polygyny (a man taking several wives) but occasionally in the form of polyandry (a woman taking several husbands). In some western ...

Marriage - Definitions: Encyclopedia II - Marriage - Marriage today in Belgium, The Netherlands, Canada, Spain

These countries have the particular possibility that same-sex couples as well as opposite sex couples may engage in marriage. Although same-sex unions have been recorded in the history of a number of cultures, marriages between same-sex partners were rare or nonexistent in other cultures. Same-sex marriage remains infrequent worldwide, especially as it is not offered in most countries. However, some countries recognize same-sex marriage, including the Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, and Spain; in the United States same-sex marriage is l ...

Marriage - Definitions: Marriages in Hinduism

Hinduism and Marriage

According to Hinduism, a marriage between two persons is a sacred relationship that is not limited to this life alone. It extends across seven or more lives, during which the couple help each other progress spiritually. The adage that marriages are made in heaven is very much true in case of Hinduism. Two souls come together and marry because their karmas are intertwined and they have to resolve many things together upon earth in order to ensure their mutual salvation.

Hinduism and Marriage: Hindu Marriages

According to Hinduism, marriage between two souls is a very sacred affair that stretches beyond one life time and may continue up to at least seven lives. A husband and wife chose to come together more due to spiritual reasons than sexual, though they may not be mentally aware of the reasons for their decision to come together.

Hinduism and Divorce: Hindu view on divorce and marriage

Hindu civil code permits divorce on certain grounds. But the religion as such does not approve divorce. According to Hinduism marriage is a sacred relationship, a divine covenant and a sacrament. Therefore it cannot be dissolved on some personal grounds.

Marriage - Definitions: Encyclopedia - Who is a Jew?

Who is a Jew? (Hebrew: ?מיהו יהודי) is the name of the religious, social and political debate on the exact definition of which person can be called Jewish. As Judaism shares some of the characteristics of a nation, a religion, an ethnicity, and a culture, the definition of who is a Jew may vary, depending on whether a religious, sociological, or national approach to identity is used. "Who is a Jew?" has also become a well-known rhetorical question within Judaism, referring to a cultural and religious battle to define who ...

Marriage - Definitions: Encyclopedia - Catholic marriage

In the theology of Catholicism, marriage is an inseparable bond between a man and a woman, created by human contract and ratified by divine grace. It is one of the seven sacraments. The nature of the conventant requires that the two participants be one man and one woman, that they be free to marry, that they willingly and knowingly enter into a valid marriage contract, and that they validly execute the performance of the contract. On the exact definition of each of these steps hinge all the arguments and technical points ...

Marriage - Definitions: Encyclopedia II - Nikah Misyar - Reasons for a Misyar Marriage

The need for this type of marriage is, in part, the result of economic reality. In Egypt, most young men cannot afford to get married and support a wife and so long engagements are common. A Misyar marriage allows men to marry girls who then stay with their parents. The bride's parents feed and maintain her, and the couple meets occasionally for the purpose of having sexual relations. Misyar marriages are often done by the poor who hope that someday their marriage ...

Marriage - Definitions: Encyclopedia II - Nikah Misyar - Misyar Marriage in practice

The practice of Misyar marriage is often different from the original intent for creating this institution. Wealthy Kuwaiti and Saudi men sometimes enter into a Misyar marriage while on vacation. This allows them to have sexual relations with another woman without committing the sin of zina. They travel to poor countries, such as Egypt or Syria, and meet middlemen who arrange a marriage for them. Some men arrange Misyar marriages online. The middleman brings some girls and they pick the one that ...

Marriage - Definitions: Encyclopedia II - Polygyny - Definitions

In social anthropology, polygyny is a marital practice in which a man has more than one wife simultaneously. This is the most common form of polygamy. The man may marry more than one woman at the same time, or marry one or more other women while he is already married. The opposite form—where a woman has more than one husband simultaneously—is known as polyandry. See marriage for a discussion on the extent to which states ca ...

Marriage - Definitions: Encyclopedia II - Polyandry - Controversy

Polyandry is a controversial subject among anthropologists. For instance, Pennsylvania anthropologist Stephen Beckerman points out that at least 20 tribal societies accept that a child could, and ideally should, have more than one father, referring to it as "partible paternity". On the other hand, in Tibet, which is the most well-documented cultural domain within which polyandry is practiced, the testimony of certain polyandrists themselves is that the marriage form is difficult to sustain. However, certain monogamists say ...

Marriage - Definitions: Encyclopedia II - Same-sex marriage - Controversy

The moral legitimacy of marriage between two people of the same sex hinges on how the authoritative definition of marriage is derived. If marriage is to have a religious foundation, the interpretation of religious texts and traditions will be key; if marriage is a social institution, legal agreement, or even a purely economic coupling, then pragmatic arguments will have more force (though moral issues will no doubt still arise). Gay rights advocates assert that marriage is a right since it is a legal agreement on the governmental level which ...

Marriage - Definitions: Encyclopedia II - Who is a Jew? - Non-religious ethnic definition

The traditional European definition of Jewishness (although it was not evenly distributed across Europe - the least developed European countries were almost always more prone to see the Jews in racial terms) differs markedly from the American progressive definition. In the former USSR, "Jew" was a nationality or ethnicity de jure all the way to the fall of the Berlin Wall. Today laws concerning Jewishness are unwelcome and unethical almost anywhere in the world, but of course de facto the situation remains. In fact, the European definition is traditional in many respects, and reflects not o ...

The situation in Israel is somewhat ambiguous. Who is a Jew? - Israeli rules for aliyah creates Israelis but not Jews. One area where the traditional definition of Jew is not followed by the Israeli governement is in deciding who qualifies to make aliyah ("emigrate [to Israel]") and acquire citizenship under the Law of Return. The requirements here differ significantly from the definition of a Jew under halakha, in permitting anyone with only one Jewish grandparent, or as non-Jewish sp ...
