Marriage

Marriage is a legally binding contract or two people to stay together until their death. Many people have a celebration at the start of their marriage known as a wedding. The end of a marriage is known as divorce. Two people planning to be married in the near future as known as engaged.

Often the female takes on the surname of the male during marriage, however this is not always the case (such as wil Nymphadora Tonks and Remus Lupin, and Minerva McGonagall and Elphinstone Urquart.)

Marriage laws in the Wizarding World.

There is no note of any divorce in the Wizarding World, so it is unknown whether it is legal. JK Rowling stated that homosexual relationships do not suffer as much discrimination in the Wizarding World as in the muggle world, so it is possible they are legal, however this has not been confirmed.
