'''Property''' is any [[physical]] or [[virtual]] entity that is owned by an [[individual]] or jointly by a [[group]] of individuals. An owner of property has the right to consume, sell, rent, mortgage, transfer and exchange his or her property.[1][2][3] Important widely-recognized types of property include real property (land), [[personal]] property (other physical possessions), and [[intellectual]] property (rights over artistic creations, inventions, etc.), although the latter is not always as widely recognized or enforced.[4] A title, or a right of ownership, is associated with property that establishes the relation between the goods/services and other individuals or groups, assuring the owner the right to dispense with the property in a [[manner]] he or she sees fit. Some [[philosophers]] assert that property rights arise from social [[custom|convention]]. Others find origins for them in morality or natural law (e.g. Saint Irenaeus).
[[Public]] property is any property that is controlled by a state or by a whole [[community]]. [[Private]] property is any property that is not public property. Private property may be under the control of a single individual or by a group of individuals [[collective]]ly.[5]

The new and sudden substitution of the more [[ideal]] but extremely [[individual]]istic love motive in marriage for the older and long-established '''property''' motive, has unavoidably caused the marriage institution to become temporarily unstable. Man's marriage motives have always far [[transcend]]ed actual marriage morals, and in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries the Occidental ideal of marriage has suddenly far outrun the self-centered and but partially controlled sex impulses of the races. The presence of large numbers of unmarried persons in any [[society]] indicates the temporary breakdown or the transition of the mores.
