Since a large majority of the US population are the followers of the Christian faith (Eck, 2002, p.432), which lays stress upon the observing of moral values, and fulfillment of the carnal desires through marriage between the individuals belonging to the opposite genders (Chadwick, 1975, p.6), marriage institution had got significant popularity in the US culture since the olden past. The same is also applied to the Middle East societies as an overwhelming majority of their populations adhere to the Abrahamic faiths including Islam, Christianity and Judaism (Fox, 2001, p.31). However, the Muslims make up the largest majority of the entire region, which also demonstrates the same teachings regarding marriage attributed to its predecessor Abrahamic faiths, i.e. Judaism and Christianity. As a result, marriage between two adults of opposite gender is the only acceptable sexual association in the Middle East societies, which gives birth to the legitimate children eventually. Families in the Arab world, according to Rashad et al. (2005), are undergoing major changes as new patterns of marriage and family formation emerge across the region (p. 1).
