marriage is derived from the greek word, meaning nuptials: of, or pertaining to marriage, or else, the paperwork that pertains to the marraige ceremony. Hence marriage is a civilian affair of contractual involvements. Comparisons can be drawn from Old Testament references when God instructed, "if any man shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement."
