			Marriage within Arginet is an institution that exists as a bond between two or more people. For [[Social class\|commoners]] at least, there is no social expectation for a marriage in order to pursue an intimate relationship, so it is most often entered into as a sign of a long-lasting commitment.

	Although many people marry with a view to having children, it is well-established that producing offspring is distinct from marriage - reliable herbal contraception is widely available and there is no stigma attached to adoption or to having children outside of wedlock.

			== Adulthood and identity ==

			Coming of age in Arginet, generally at the age of sixteen, is considered an occasion for celebration - often with a family meal, a party, or a special church service. For the nobility it is also considered their time of entry to society. A person coming of age also takes on the gender identity (and pronouns) they wish to be known by as an adult.

			A change in gender identity - whether at coming of age or later in life - is often marked with a change of [[Names\|name]]. Commoners most often choose their own, though they may seek advice from friends or relatives. In contrast nobles are expected to ask their family for a new name; their parents, grandparents, and sometimes even [[ancestors]] will choose one that is is keeping both with the new identity and with their own family traditions.
