According to Judaism, marriage is a form of agreement. This agreement materializes as a written document that binds two people who marry forever and it registers the unity of sacred family. In the Jewish society, the marriage ceremony has a religious character and although its content is basically the same, it may vary depending on the established traditions and customs of each community. For example, in every Jewish wedding, the groom accompanies the bride in the "Chuppah"; But the form of "Chuppah" varies according to the traditions of that community and the requirements of the time.
