According
to the dictionary, Marriage generally means “the relationship that exists
between people of the opposite or the same sex. When defined broadly, marriage
is considered a cultural universal. Actually, the definition of marriage varies
according to different cultures. In some cultures, marriage is recommended
before making any sexual activity while other cultures does not matter marriage
after making sexual activity. For example, through comparing the marriage
culture in the United States and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, we can see that
in America, it is okay if you married someone after making sexual activity. In
contrast, in my country, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the low prevent that you
marry someone after making any sexual activity; moreover, you just will be
allowed to make sexual activity with somebody as long as you are married,
unlike here in the United States, you might do sexual activity with someone
even if you are not married. Another difference is that in the United States,
the same-sex marriage is allowed. However, in Saudi Arabia, the same-sex
marriage is prohibited at all. Furthermore, in Saudi Arabia, men can have no
more than four wives at any one time, with the requirement that they are able
and willing to share their time and wealth equally among the respective
wives. On the other hand, in the United
States, men mostly not allowed to have more than one wife. In deed, I see marriage
is a cultural universal that modifies according to different cultures, and,
generally, there is no doubt that marriage is an interesting thing.
