Marriage Requirements - Basic.
The requirements for Marriage vary somewhat from state to state, but basically involve a Marriage license and a ceremony (religious or civil).
When two people agree to marry, they are creating a contract--an exchange of promises. The Marriage license serves as proof of the existence of a Marriage contract. Most states require the following in order to get a Marriage license:
· Minimum age
· Capacity to consent
· Opposite sexes
· Blood test and/or exam
· Other requirements and restrictions
Ceremonies may range from a highly traditional religious ceremony to the mere signing of a Marriage certificate in front of witnesses. Statutes authorize certain people to perform Marriage ceremonies such as government officials and religious leaders. Perhaps the most important function of the ceremony is to impose seriousness on the creation of a Marriage. By requiring a ceremony, society tries to ensure that a couple has thought long and hard before entering a Marriage. That's also why some states require a waiting period between the time a license is issued and the time of the ceremony.
