Is it just me or is this article waaaaay too long? Now don't get me wrong, I know marriage is a very broad topic that goes back millenia but I feel as though significant trimming can be achieved. What I first notice is that there are two sections (Etymology and definitions) that could be condensed into a single section. The first of the two sections is quite brief but the second goes into unnecessary detail that are of very little importance. I suggest trimming the unnecessary details and combining the two sections into 3, maybe 4, paragraphs. Aside from that, I was able to uncover more instances of irrelevant and unsourced content, particularly in the Law and Religion sections. ✿ WolveríneX-eye ✿10:57, 28 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Will someone please look at the "cohabitation" section? I genuinely don't know how the Chinese walking marriage bit relates to the rest of the section. PinkPanther27 (talk) 23:36, 9 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

"The Codex Theodosianus (C. Th. 9.7.3) issued in 438 CE imposed severe penalties or death on same-sex relationships, but the exact intent of the law and its relation to social practice is unclear, as only a few examples of same-sex relationships in that culture exist." (emphasis mine)
Strictly speaking, an example is a known instance of a thing, so the sentence is technically accurate as written, but might erroneously give the impression that it is a known fact that there were only a few same-sex relationships in that culture. A better phrasing would be "only a few documented examples of same-sex relationships in that culture exist" or "only a few examples of same-sex relationships in that culture are known". ~2026-24321-61 (talk) 12:36, 21 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
