Marriage is a status of the rule of law in which two people are bound in the eyes of the law. Normally, it is a matter of a couple obtaining a marriage license and then exchanging vows at a ceremony organized by a sanctioned official. When a couple marries, they get several rights, including certain preferential tax statuses, the ability to make decisions when their spouses are unable to work, and property rights. During the marriage and upon their dissolution, both partners are entitled to half a share of the joint succession and each has the same management power. There are different types of marriage-related agreements. The main contract is the marriage contract itself, which is your agreement to marry your spouse.
