thumb|The symbol for marriage, often used in genealogy
I don't have sufficient context to write an accurate overview. The provided context only mentions that there is a symbol used to represent marriage in genealogy, but it doesn't contain information about what marriage is, why it matters, or its characteristics. I would need additional source material to write an accurate, fact-based overview as requested.

thumb|The symbol for marriage, often used in genealogy
Marriage, also called matrimony or wedlock, is a culturally and often legally recognised union between people called spouses. It establishes rights and obligations between them, as well as between them and their children (if any), and between them and their in-laws. It is nearly a cultural universal, but the definition of marriage varies between cultures and religions, and over time. Typically, it is an institution in which interpersonal relationships, usually sexual, are acknowledged or sanctioned. In some cultures, marriage is recommended or considered to be compulsory before pursuing sexual activity, and sexual intercourse with others aside from one's spouse may be considered immoral or even illegal. A marriage ceremony is called a wedding, while a private marriage is sometimes called an elopement.
