A presentation of attitudes to marriage and the family in each of the major religious faiths, each article written by a member of the respective faith. Suitable for GCSE students.
Marriage and the Family presents an account of attitudes to marriage and the family in each of the major religious faiths – the Christian, Jewish, Moslem, Baha’i, Hindu, Sikh and Buddhist faiths – and includes the Humanist views of marriage and the family. Each article is written by a member of the respective faith and includes an account of the particular faith portrayed. The material available in English for such ceremonies varies greatly in different faiths. For example, Buddhist marriage ceremonies are mainly of recent date and have emerged in the West where such ceremonies are presented here in en English translation probably for the first time. The book is introduced with an essay by Professor Ronald Fletcher on the rapidly changing attitudes to marriage and an assessment of their significance. Janet Trotter follows his essay with a description of the legal problems by ethnic minorities in Britain.
