What is a marriage?

Marriage is defined as a civil contract between two people of the opposite sex, capable of contracting. Generally, to be married, two people must be of opposite gender. However, some states are in the process of changing the different sex requirement. To be “capable of contracting” means that both persons must be of age, or have consent of a parent, and must be unmarried and not divorced within the six months prior to entering the current marriage contract.
