Marriage & Death..

Marriage and Death, are the most seriously celebrated events in life.. The rituals for both are principally the same across all religions, doctrines, and cultures.. If something would deny racial categorization, it would be the core concepts and ceremonies of Marriage.. If something would deny social ranking, it would be both agony and culture of Death.. Religions, philosophies and doctrines would not gain publicity without addressing Marriage and Death along with War, Wealth and Worship.. There is a mysterious bond among these five core elements of human culture..!

Both Marriage and Death were expressions of the natural cycle of life.. The advocated intellectual and philosophical interferences had accidently ruined people's stability and sanity..  Hurdles to natural marriage had created the controversial LGBT, the devastating Pornography, and the destructive Extremism.. On parallel; attempts to fight natural death had generated the breakthrough in Medicine, the innovative Leisure and both Urban pollution and congestion..!

Among the early civilizations, and  limitedly to some groups of today, worshiping genitals as sacred symbol of the marriage doctrine was likely common.. Notably, early humans had come to understand the mechanism of pregnancy and birth; yet were unable to understand the secret powers within conceive and genetic transmition..

The announcement of marriage was and stills mandatory; which draws the ownership or the parentship of the potential kids.. This is the great maintenance of both personal ego and spousal relationships.. Defining the de-Facto code is a great divide among legal and cultural systems; not because of the legitmization of the relationship, but due to procedures and implications of its announcement..

There are many hidden signals within the publicity of marriage; which fairly merchandizes females from the custody of a parent into another of a husband.. The integrity of breeding mechanism is critical issue in both consciousness and subconsciousness of Mankind.. Therefore; no wonder that each religion had come with a considerable set of regulations on marriage and all associated concerns..

The Neanderthals had discovered burial as a way to dignify their dead ones.. Those shallow graves were the evidence to know them after more than 30,000 years.. The spread of their territories around the Mediterranean had enabled to understand the evolution of Mankind..

Regardless of the processes of dealing with the remains of a deceased human being; by inhumation, immurement, cremation, by-exposure, dissolution, or sky-burial; the corpse was implicit agreed for gradual deppreciation; once rituals of death are completed..! Yet, its preservation is mere social or political rather than religious..!

The dead body would be cleaned, perfumed and decorated as a start.. Then presented to the public in that lifeless state.. The dead face is exposed to identify, either publically to Klan’s or privately to Kin’s.. Cries are endorsements of death rather than expressions of loss.. The sacredness of graveyards or cemeteries are related to living costumes rather than the death itself, therefore; the description of their dishonor widely varies..!!

This was part of the draft preamble for my never-done-academic research on "The Surviving Middle Eastern Rituals of Marriage and Death.."
Therefore, it is emotionless controversial..!!!
