Marriage in Judaism is the documentation of a contract between a Jewish man and a Jewish woman in which God is involved. In Judaism, a marriage can end either because of a divorce document given by the man to his wife, or by the death of either party. Certain details, primarily as protections for the wife, were added in Talmudic times.[1]
Non-Orthodox developments have brought changes in who may marry whom. Intermarriage is often discouraged, though opinions vary.[2]
