sadly, for your argument the concept and understanding of marriage is universal.

In the other places you speak of marriage is worlds different than what we have in the "civilized" world, and their rituals are not based on politics, they are spiritual ceremonies that have deep meaning to these people, not just a piece of paper or a way to control assets or whatever. If marriage in north america had the same morals and values as they do in the less "civilized" cultures, there would be no need for pre-nuptual agreements. Tell me those on their own are not a sign that marriage is about finances.
