One
sample answer has been provided to you:
Every
society comprises several types and rules of marriage. Our society
particularly follows monogamy. Monogamy is a system of marriage
wherein one man can marry only one woman, and one woman can only
marry one man. People are only allowed to re-marry after the death of
their spouse or after a divorce. Thus, they cannot have more than one
spouse at the same time.
Generally,
the marriages are fixed by the parents and this is known as arrange
marriage. Parents choose the relevant partners for their sons and
daughters. However, some people also prefer love marriages and their
partners are self chosen.
Some
societies also practice the rules of polygamy and polygyny, wherein
the men and women can have multiple partners as their wives and
husbands respectively. However, this practice is not allowed in laws
of marriage of some religions.
