Jewish marriage
Chuppah-centered matrimony ceremony
Jewish marriage is a union formalized through religious ceremony under Jewish law (halacha).
The traditional wedding includes signing a ketubah (marriage contract), standing under a chuppah (canopy), and breaking a glass.
In Orthodox practice, marriage requires a rabbi and witnesses, with specific requirements about who may marry whom.
Reform and Conservative movements have adapted traditions, with some officiating interfaith and same-sex marriages.
