Nurv,
you wrote, "Studying marriage accross cultures is completely fascinating!" Well, now time for a little empiricism in your study and extraction of information. What is the dominant form or Marriage across cultures? Is it between the sexes or is it same sex? What percentage of each? You indicated above that marriage was a committment formed for the the perpetuation of family and the society in which it was practiced. How many children are born of inter-gender marriages? How many to the insignificantly few same-gender liasons? What conclusions can you base on the data? Inquiring minds want to know!
