	Marriage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Marriages may be mediated by religious or political institutions and are generally bound by conventions which establish rights and privileges, and which establish limits of consanguinity and other restrictions.
		Marriage of some kind is found in most societies, and typically married people form a nuclear household, which is normally subsequently extended biologically, through children.
		Conversely, a marriage is commonly held to require a sexual relationship, and non-consummation (that is, failure to engage in sex) may be held grounds for an annulment (as for instance in the of John Ruskin's abortive marriage).

		It is a little ironic that this defence of the BNP's alliance with Jamaat depends on approval of the party acting in what its ostensible defenders concede is essentially a hypocritical and nakedly political manner.
