(2) Describe the various forms which marriage takes, considering the marriage "contract". Illustrate your description with examples of 2 differing marriage forms from different cultures. (min. 2 paragraphs)
(3) What do you think is the future of marriage, and how might the anthropological perspective inform our discussion of marriage equality? (min. 1 paragraph)
