Etymology

The word 'marry' originates from the Old French word 'marier,' which itself is derived from the Latin 'maritare,' meaning 'to wed.' This Latin term comes from 'maritus,' meaning 'husband,' and is related to 'maritus' indicating a marital bond. The concept of marriage has evolved over centuries, influenced by social, cultural, and legal factors, but the core idea of a committed union between individuals remains unchanged. Historically, marriage was often seen as a means of forming alliances, securing property rights, and ensuring lineage, making it a significant institution in most cultures. In medieval Europe, for example, marriages were often arranged to strengthen familial ties. The meaning of 'marrying' has expanded in modern society to encompass not only traditional unions but also same-sex marriages and various forms of partnership that reflect personal choices and societal changes.
