- valarauko 6y agoCome to think of it, it seems to be the case in at least some Indian languages (ie, "wedding" & "marriage" are referred to by the same term). I can't think of a distinct native term for "marriage" as an entity or a state of being - the closest I can come up with is akin to "married" as a past tense verb.
