People marry for many reasons which, most often include one or more of the following; Legal, social, emotional, economical, spiritual and religious. Other reasons might include arranged marriages, family obligations, and the legal protection of children and public declaration of love. Marriage applies to the association of husband and wife with reference to the importance of the companionship for each of them (Gallagher, 2002).

In all marriages there is a legally and socially approved sexual relationship between the parties involved and normally, it has to be between opposite sexes for the purpose of procreation and companionship (Westermarck, 1992). According to De Burger (1997) Marriage is a socially sanctioned relationship between men and women potentially enduring beyond the birth of offsprings.
Marriage is described as a partnership contract without an escape clause by Denga, 1986). This means that marriage ideally should be a life-long agreement between couples. All inclusive, marriage is one noticeable result of positive and quiet human relations and associations after some time. As a social reality most youngsters and ladies in the wake of cooperating for some time frequently consent to get hitched, yet most occasions they have a place with various beliefs and strict tendencies.. In the event that we ought to pass by the meaning of marriage by Embers (1978, p.320) as a “socially affirmed sexual and financial relationship between a man and a lady which is assumed, both by the couple and by others, to be pretty much perpetual, and which subsumes proportional rights and commitments among life partners, and among life partners and their future youngsters”. It at that point infers that any marriage should and ought to be socially affirmed.

1.1    Origin of the term
The word “marriage” derives from Middle English mariage, which first appears in 1250–1300 CE. This in turn is derived from Old French, marier (to marry), and ultimately Latin, marītāre, meaning to provide with a husband or wife and marītāri meaning to get married. The adjective marīt-us -a, -um meaning matrimonial or nuptial could also be used in the masculine form as a noun for “husband” and in the feminine form for “wife”. The related word “matrimony” derives from the Old French word matremoine, which appears around 1300 CE and ultimately derives from Latin mātrimōnium, which combines the two concepts: mater meaning “mother” and the suffix -monium signifying “action, state, or condition”.
