Marriage is most commonly given the description of a union between two

individuals of opposite gender. The standard roles and tasks of the husband

and wife are comprised of living together, sharing economic resources, and

being acknowledged as having parental responsibilities. However,uncommon forms

of marriage that do not correspond to this definition do exist. For instance,

in some civilizations it is acceptable for a husband to take multiple wives,

and in others it is conventional for women to have more than one husband.

Still, in others, such as the Mozo (a minor ethnic group in China), the

institution of marriage basically does not exist.


婚姻最常見的定義是，兩個相反性別的人結合在一起。夫妻的一般角色及任務包括共同

生活、共享經濟資源，並被公認負有為人父母的責任。然而，也有不符合以上這個定義

的罕見婚姻形式。比方說，在某些文明社會中，一夫多妻是為人所接受的，而在其他社

會中，一妻多夫則是傳統。此外，在某些社會中，如摩梭族（中國的一支少數民族），

婚姻制度基本上並不存在。
