Marriage

Marriage was the formally recognized union of two beings as partners in a relationship. A marriage ceremony, which could be presided over by a clergy member, was referred to as a wedding. In the Jedi Order, attachment and possession were forbidden,^[1] because they could lead to jealousy and fear of loss, and ultimately the dark side of the Force.^[2] For that reason, Jedi were not allowed to marry. Despite that, the Jedi apprentice Anakin Skywalker still married Senator Padmé Amidala shortly after the Battle of Geonosis, during a secret ceremony held on Naboo.^[1] In some cultures, males had more than one spouse at a time, such as the alpha-bulls of the Crolute species who had senior spouses, junior spouses, and concubines.^[3] Marriage between two beings of the same sex also occurred.^[4]

Marriages could be dissolved through divorce.^[5]
