Marriage can vary greatly from country to country.
For example, many western countries only accept marriages between
one woman and one man. However, on other parts of the world a man
may have several wives.
There are also many different kinds of marriage
ceremonies practiced around the world. These ceremonies can be very
short and simple, or very long and complicated.
One of the largest and most expensive wedding
ceremonies was held in Dubai (迪拜) in 1981. At this wedding, the well-to-do
son of Sheik Rashid Bin Saeed Al Maktoum married Princess Salama.
The wedding ceremony took seven days to complete. It was held in a
large building which was built for the ceremony. The building
looked like a place where sporting events are usually held. The
bride and groom needed a large place for their wedding because
there were 20,000 guests at the wedding. The wedding cost was close
to $44 million.
A man and woman may choose to get married for many
reasons. Sometimes they marry because they are in love. Sometimes
they marry because their parents tell them that they must
marry.
The youngest couple in the world to get married was
an 11-month-old boy and a three-month-old girl. This couple got
married in Bangladesh in 1986.
The parents of the bride and groom arranged the
marriage in order to end a fight between the two families without
either family having to lose face in the end. The families had been
arguing over a farm for 20 years. Both families thought that they
owned the farm, but no one knew for sure. The fight ended for good
when the young boy married the young girl. The two families agreed
to give the farm to the young couple.
