This is a question for anyone outside the united states.. im just wondering if the oath of marriage is a universal one.. (within realitive translation)

"Do you .... take .... to be your beloved (husband/wife) to have and to hold, cherise and to love, in sickness and in health till death do you part"

Edit: to be specific.. im talking about state marraiges.. obviously different religions will say different things

I personally think the state needs to get out of marriage and just leave it up to the indiviual and to the churches, or place of worship.

State marriges within the us dont all contain that content so its not universal irregardless of what outside the US
