Summary
Marriage is an institution which admits men and women to family life. It is a stable relationship in which man and woman are socially permitted to have children; the right to have children implying the right to sexual relations. Mazumdar (1951) defines marriage as “a socially sanctioned union of male and female or as a secondary institution devised by society to sanction the union and mating of male and female, for purpose of (a) establishing a household, (b) entering into sex relations, (c) procreating and, (d) providing care for the offspring.” According to Hunt (1940) “marriage is the approved social patterns whereby two or more persons establish a family.” As per Lowie (1956) marriage denotes those unequivocally sanctioned unions which persist beyond sensuous satisfaction and come to undermine family life.Marriage is a relation between man and woman to have legitimate sex and to have legitimate children but above these factors it is a strong bonding to take care, to give support and to contribute in the success of each other.
