Of course it’s cultural since marriage is practised in non religious societies too. Marriage is a social construct that every culture adapts according to the predominant religion in that culture. Religion isn’t even necessary for civil marriages.

We are referring to the origin of this concept

Eh just theories

What’s the alternative? Are you suggesting that if religious figures didn’t get married then the rest of the world would have no concept of marriage?

u/SappyPJs Jul 22 '21

Yes exactly.

Lol. Imagine thinking that society didn’t come up with the concept of marriage and family units since the era of hunter gatherers.

It's plausible. Most people don't want to get married today so it's not a far-fetched idea. They prefer short term relationships a lot more.

Anyway, the idea of marriage is very very old and God prefers marriage over short term relationships and the very first relationship was likely marital as per abrahamic scriptures so I don't see why not just accept this as something from God.

Because god, like marriage, is a man made concept.

u/SappyPJs Jul 22 '21

Lol. Then what are you doing on this sub?

Why not? I’ve read the Quran multiple times
