Same-sex marriage is famous now a day. The origin of such marriages is more focused on the Native American tribes, regions of China, at certain regions of Europe too. Not only this, same sex marriages are also growing its root to the rest of the world. Interestingly in one of the ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in Griswold v Connecticut (1965), the judgment says: "Marriage is a coming together for better or for worse, hopefully enduring, and intimate to the degree of being sacred. It is an association that promotes a way of life, not causes; a harmony in living, not political faiths; a bilateral loyalty, not commercial or social projects. Yet it is an association for as noble a purpose as any involved in our prior decisions." So as per above sayings same sex marriage is not an offense it’s all about attraction, trust and love between two individuals of same sex or of different sex.

Chinese marriage
Chinese marriages are very traditional and reflect the historical shadow. Mostly as being said by many, these Chinese marriages are based on Nuwa and Fu Xi . It is believed that Nuwa and Fu Xi firstly invented complete marriage procedures that one need to follow after becoming married. In ancient History of china, society people having the same surname allowed or considered to marry one another and if they do so, it’s considered as act of incest. But, interestingly doing marriage to maternal relatives was not considered as act of incest at that time. In such cases families sometimes intermarried from one generation to another too. As time passed Chinese people became more geographically mobile and trends in marriages gets changed too with this mobility Now Couples were married in an extra-clan marriage, which is also known as antithetic marriage (this is believed to occur in around 5000 BC.). When a married couple died the cremation of husband and the wife is done separately in the respective clans’ graveyard, it’s just similar to Hindu religion of India.
European marriages
A marriage is usually formalized in the presence of family members and relatives of bride and bridegroom at marriage ceremony by a religious official and or by a government official or can also be done by a state approved celebrant. In case of many European marriages and American countries marriages now also in India religious ceremony are held separately from the required civil ceremony whereas in countries for example Belgium, France, Romania and few other - It requires that a civil ceremony must take place before any religious one due to some jurisdiction and legal policies. Interestingly in countries like United States, Canada and United Kingdom, both ceremonies can be held either together or separately depends on the decisions of both families. The official present at the religious and or civil ceremony can also act as agent of the state to perform the civil ceremony too. In some other countries, for example like in India, Australia and in few other places marriages are allowed to be held in any private location and in other countries like England the civil ceremony is conducted in a place open to the public (just like in some open place or in hall where all people can come) the good thing is such marriages are approved by and are allowed by their country law. The place of marriage like I said could also be a hotel, historic building or other venue possessing license.
