[...Well, it's been a while since Daisy has heard of Val. Still on the mountains, the ponders for a moment if she should reply, considering she made this trip to get away from everyone.
But remembers that Kippin told her that isn't quite the way to go.
She draws out her pen because, while she's been out of contact for over a week or so, she also has a thing for philosophy.]
Marriage is a social union between two partners, established as a formal contract for several reasons: legal, social, emotional, economical, spiritual, and religious. It's a legal way to share property, have a pact of intimacy, and bear legimitate offspring. [Beat.] Though in modern ages onwards ilegitimate children aren't frowned upon.
In old times, marriage was not forged by love, but arranged as a form of social and economical union between two families when both son and daughter were young. Love would come in later, by the bond both partners eventually forged when living under the same roof.
[She stops for a moment... Val may not notice it, but beyond the book definition, Daisy-023 has little understanding of it either, but she continues.]
In my world and age, marriage is agreed upon by two consenting adults, independent of the opinions and actions of other members of their families. It's an expression of loyalty in the filial sense, and in the legal one it is a pact of sharing and cohabitation. That the person will be the only one you treat in a truly romantic manner from that day forward. It's a way of showing that you belong to that person.
