Etymology
ME. mariage, from OF. mariage, from marier �to marry�, from L. maritare �to marry�, literally �give a husband to�, from maritus �married man, husband�, derived probably from Proto-Indo-European *mari-, perhaps a feminine stem of *mer-yo- �young man or young woman� (hence *mari-to- �given a wife�), if not somehow connected with mas �male� (stem mar-).
