Marriage is a commitment made between two people. It doesn't always have to have huge ceremonies behind it, but it is a commitment of protection, loyalty, and aid. People have the right to marry if they want. They don't have to, though, and choosing to not marry does not make a totally significant difference. Yes, love does play a part in this, but that's only one step of the way. However much that you want to say "marriage=man owning a woman", I'm telling you right now that there can't be any marriage without an agreement of both sides. Because of this, both genders are able to get married and/or reject a proposal of marriage. Also, marriage exists in ALL religion, and even in terms of no religion. It doesn't have to be a big huge ceremony, a party, or anything. It just has to be a commitment of love, loyalty, protection, and aid to be true.
