婚姻法

Every human society has rules covering marriage.In Britain it is illegal to marry under the age of 18 without your parents' permission and an offence to marry at all under the age of 16.It's also against the law to have more than one husband or wife at the same time.Anyone who breaks this law may go to prison.You may marry your first cousin but you can't marry anyone who is a closer relative than this.
每个人类社会都有关于结婚的规定。在英国,18岁以下,没有父母之命结婚是不合法的,和16岁以下的人结婚也是违法的。同时拥有一个以上的丈夫或妻子也是违反法律的。任何违犯婚姻法的人都可能进监狱。你可以和你的嫡表(或堂)兄弟姐妹结婚,但是你不能和比这个还亲的人结婚。

In some societies the rules are stricter.There are places where the men must marry outside their family.For the Nuer tribe in Sudan this means that a man usually has to find a wife in a different village because the people in his village belong to the same family .The Nuer say,"We marry those with whom we fight." In this way friendship is created between enemy villages.
在一些社会,这些规定更加严格。有些地方,男人必须和他们家族以外的人结婚。对苏丹的努尔人部落来说,这意味着一个男人通常必须找一个不同村的妻子,因为他的同村人属于同一家族。努尔人说:“我们和那些与我们战斗的人结婚。”以这种方法,友谊是在敌对村子之间产生的。
