Marriage and the idea of marriage is universal, there is no one generally acceptable definition of marriage. However, marriage in the African context is a union between two families, not just two individuals. Marriage is primarily for procreation and continuation of a family line.

Childbearing is such an important part of an African marriage, in that marriage can be dissolved on the ground of childlessness.
