To many, marriage is a sacred act. From the text, please discuss the religious aspect of marriage and how it affects society
What will be an ideal response?
In the Christian, Jewish, Hindu dharma, and Islamic religions marriage is considered to be divinely ordained, a sacred, religious act not to be entered into lightly. In these religions, marriage is viewed as a life-long commitment between a woman and a man. Within these religious communities, the sacrament or act of marriage is believed to be the strongest of all social bonds around which the rest of society is organized. This bond, in turn, "initiates the new generations into the culture and traditions and facilitates further evolution of their civilization. It is the link that joins the past with the present and with the future in such a way that social transition and change can take place through a healthy and stable process."
