Matrimony

The legal state of being married.

The legal state of being married.

Ecclesiastics talk of the "holy" state of matrimony.

In popular culture, Gilbert O'Sulivan's song "Matrimony" refers to this legal term:

"You and me are all that matters
Disregard the rest
Trust your soon to be old man,he knows what is best
Very shortly now there's going to be an answer from you then one from me
That's matrimony
Marriage - the joining together of the two people
For better or for worse, 'til death them do part."

Unless otherwise noted, this article was written by Lloyd Duhaime, Barrister, Solicitor, Attorney and Lawyer (and Notary Public!). It is not intended to be legal advice and you would be foolhardy to rely on it in respect to any specific situation you or an acquaintance may be facing. In addition, the law changes rapidly and sometimes with little notice so from time to time, an article may not be up to date. Therefore, this is merely legal information designed to educate the reader. If you have a real situation, this information will serve as a good springboard to get legal advice from a lawyer.
