Marriage of convenience

A marriage of convenience refers to a partnership between two individuals that is primarily motivated by pragmatic reasons rather than romantic love. This type of arrangement often serves specific purposes, such as gaining legal or financial benefits, securing residency or citizenship, or fulfilling social expectations. While the individuals involved may not have a deep emotional connection, they agree to the union for mutual advantage. In many cases, these marriages are legitimate and can provide stability or support, but they may also face scrutiny or skepticism from those who view marriage as a primarily romantic institution.
