In Jewish society, the marriage ceremony is religious in nature. During the wedding, the bride and groom stand under the “Hupa”. The hupa symbolizes that the bride and groom are united under the same roof. The shape of the hupa varies according to tradition and the requirements of the time.

At the marriage ceremony, the groom signs the marriage contract called “Ketubbah”. According to Judaism, marriage is a contract. This agreement is embodied in a written document that binds the two people who marry forever and registers the sacred family union.
