==Etymology==
==Etymology==
The [[modern]] [[English]] word "marriage" derives from [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=English#ca._1100-1500_.09THE_MIDDLE_ENGLISH_PERIOD Middle English] mariage, which first appears in 1250–1300 C.E. This in turn is derived from Old French marier (to marry) and ultimately [[Latin]] marītāre (to marry) and marītus (of marriage).

==Definitions==
[[Anthropologists]] have proposed several competing definitions of [[marriage]] so as to [[encompass]] the wide variety of marital [[practices]] observed across [[cultures]]. In his [[book]] ''The History of Human Marriage'' (1921), [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edvard_Westermarck Edvard Westermarck] defined marriage as "a more or less durable [[connection]] between [[male]] and [[female]] lasting beyond the mere act of propagation till after the [[birth]] of the [[offspring]]." In ''The Future of Marriage in Western Civilization'' (1936), he rejected his earlier definition, instead provisionally defining marriage as "a [[relation]] of one or more men to one or more women that is recognised by [[custom]] or [[law]]".
