Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Marriage is the expected state for all adult Muslims, and as such, the wedding is a very solemn event. In Islam, polygamy is allowed for men (polygyny) but not women. What is the maximum number of wives an Islamic husband may have at one time?

Answer: 4

Polygyny has it roots in pride, courage and gallantry, and is also an act of pride and power, the man stating openly that he is capable of supporting more than one wife.

The Qur'an states that these men must deal with all their wives equally, and must not favour any particular wife. Whilst polygamy is illegal in most countries, and many prohibit people living polygamously, in the U.K. it is recognised in cases of immigration or citizenship, if the marriages were performed in countries that permit it.
2. In one traditional wedding ceremony, the bride and groom exchange three cups of sake in a "three times three" ceremony. Which of these religions sanctifies a wedding with this ceremony?

Answer: Shinto

A traditional Japanese wedding ceremony is a private event with only family allowed to attend. The priest first performs a purification ceremony, and then the gods are called upon to bless the couple and their marriage. After the groom has read the marriage oath, the couple take three sips from each of three cups of sake. The remaining sake is then shared with the family members.
3. An important part of a Jewish wedding ceremony is the Sheva Brachot. What is this sacred rite?

Answer: Seven blessings

While both Conservative and Orthodox Jewish weddings begin differently, both have the bride circle her groom seven times before they share a cup of wine. Following the ring ceremony, the public reading of the ketuba (marriage contract) precedes the reading of the Sheva Brachot (seven blessings). This is usually chanted or read by designated guests.
4. The main religion in Haiti is Vodou and many Vodouisants take wedding vows in the ceremony of the "Maryaj Lwa". Who are the Lwa?

Answer: Vodou spirits

In Vodouism, Haitians may ask the revered spirits for advice, or interventions against their worldly struggles. In return, the spirits are provided with food and shelter, gifts, or occasionally, even the use of a mortal body by way of possession. Vodouisants see the "Maryaj Lwa" as a sign of devotion and a guarantee of success. The Vodouisant will throw a party for the Lwa, and special days are set aside for their honour.
Common-law marriages among Vodou mortals are most common, and a certified marriage is regarded as a sign of wealth.
5. At a traditional Hindu wedding, the marrying couple make offerings to, and circle around a representation of, Agni, the "Radiant One". What is used to represent Agni at these weddings?

Answer: Fire

A small fire represents Agni, the God of Fire, at a Hindu wedding. During the ceremony, the couple make offerings by to Agni by throwing ghee or puffed rice into the fire. The couple then circle the fire several times, although the number of circuits largely depends upon where the ceremony is held.
6. Quaker weddings usually take place during scheduled Quaker meetings, provided permission from an Ecclesiastic council has first been granted. At these wedding ceremonies, who is notably absent?

Answer: Priest

When a Quaker couple wish to marry, they must first obtain permission from an ecclesiastic council. Once this has been granted, the wedding can take place during a regularly scheduled Quaker meeting. At the meeting, a designated person announces the purpose of the meeting.

After a moment of silence, the couple join hands and make their promises. After the signing of the wedding certificate, two witnesses (usually the parents) read it aloud, and then also sign it. The meeting is concluded when two elders shake hands.
7. Mennonite weddings are solemn occasions, and alcohol is absent from the wedding receptions. Who or what else is likely to be missing?

Answer: Dancing

Traditional Mennonite wedding receptions should be modest with simple fare on the menu, rather than the extravagance exhibited by some religions. Typically, though, there is no alcohol or dancing of any kind at a traditional Mennonite reception.
8. In a Greek Orthodox wedding ceremony, the bride and groom exchange crowns, before sipping from the same cup. How many times do they do each of these?

Answer: 3

The priest first crowns the bride and groom, and then the crowns are exchanged three times. They then each sip three times from the same glass of wine before the priest leads them in the "Dance of Isaiah".
9. The sacrament of the Eucharist is celebrated in many Christian wedding ceremonies. Which group does not usually celebrate the Eucharist?

Answer: Confucians

The Eucharist is believed to commemorate the last supper between Jesus and his disciples. The wedding Eucharist is reserved for the marriage of two practicing Christians, and elevates the marriage from a wedding ceremony to a personal and ecclesial event.
10. In Mormonism, weddings are sealed "for time and all eternity". Where do these sacred ceremonies take place?

Answer: Mormon temples

Before a couple can have their wedding sealed, they must first receive a "recommend" allowing them to enter the temple. Only those deemed worthy, first by their local bishop, then by church officials, are granted recommends. The couple must then have an endowment ceremony, which may be performed on their wedding day, although many choose to complete this earlier.
The sealing itself is very brief, with the couple kneeling, facing each other across the altar. They hold hands, vows are said and the officiator proclaims them husband and wife for time and all eternity.
