Marriage, often termed matrimony or wedlock, is a culturally and often legally recognized union between persons called spouses. It provides rights and duties between them, as well as between them and their offspring (if any), and between them and their in-laws. It is practically a cultural universal, however the concept of marriage changes throughout cultures and faiths, and with time. Marriage becomes a social construct to arbitrate the conflicts of interest between consenting individuals and a transactional mechanism to meet their needs. Typically, it is an institution in which interpersonal connections, generally sexual, are recognized or sanctioned. In certain cultures, marriage is advised or regarded to be required before engaging in sexual behavior. A marriage ceremony is termed a wedding, but a private marriage is often dubbed an elopement.
