States one's marital status.
خلفية ثقافية
Marriage is often considered the 'completion of faith' (itmam al-din). Declaring oneself married is a point of pride and social maturity. The word 'mitgawwiz' is used almost exclusively in daily speech. Egyptians often celebrate marriage with a 'Zaffah' (musical procession). In Lebanon and Syria, the distinction between 'Maktoub Kitabo' (legally married) and 'Mutazawwij' (living together) is very important for social etiquette. Marriage status can affect government benefits, housing allowances, and social standing in tribal hierarchies.
