Non-religious marriages

Non-religious marriages, also known as civil marriages, are formal unions recognized by law rather than tied to any religious tradition. These marriages are typically conducted by government officials, such as judges or registrars, and focus on legal rights and responsibilities, including property rights, inheritance, and parental obligations. Couples may choose non-religious weddings for personal beliefs, to avoid religious connotations, or for legal convenience. Such ceremonies can be customized to reflect the couple's values or preferences, making them a flexible option for many people seeking commitment without religious elements.
