Razões do casamento

"With their marriage vows, two people create a binding relationship of mutual assistance and encouragement that provides emotional and even limited financial support. This relationship can, however, be opened to others, for example when children are born or adopted, or when the couple offers help and support to relations or friends in difficulties. Marriages can thus create centers of solidarity, which have an effect on society. This function can be assumed irrespective of the partners’ sexes. "
