It is often created as a contract or through civil processes. Civil marriage is the legal concept of marriage as a governmental institution. The most common form of marriage unites one man and one woman as husband and wife.[1][2] Other forms of marriage also exist: for example, polygamy—in which a person takes more than one spouse (marriage partner)—is common in many societies.[3] In some jurisdictions civil marriage has been expanded to include same-sex marriage.[4] People marry for many reasons, but usually one or more of the following: legal, social and economic stability; the formation of a family unit; procreation and the education and nurturing of children; legitimizing sexual relations; public declaration of love; or to obtain citizenship.[5][6] A marriage is often declared by a wedding ceremony,[7] which may be performed either by a religious officiator, by a secular government-sanctioned officiator, or (in weddings that have no church or state affiliation) by a trusted friend of the wedding participants. The act of marriage usually creates obligations between the individuals involved, and in many societies, their extended families.[citation needed]
