Animals that Marry
A large proportion of mankind, like pigeons and partridges, on reaching maturity, having passed through a period of playfulness or promiscuity, establish what they hope and expect will be a permanent and fertile mating relationship. This we call marriage.
Notes:
Like pigeons and partridges, humans seek to enter into a permanent mating relationship.
