Term: BETROTHMENT

Definition: Betrothment is a religious ceremony where two people agree to get married. It used to happen months or years before the actual wedding. It was as legally binding as a marriage and meant that the people involved couldn't marry anyone else. Nowadays, it's usually part of the wedding ceremony. Betrothment can also mean a corporate merger agreement in slang.

A more thorough explanation:

Betrothment: A religious ceremony that confirms an agreement to marry. It was historically performed months or years before the parties wedded and was legally binding as a marriage. In modern times, it is usually part of the marriage ceremony.

Example 1: In medieval times, a betrothal was a formal agreement between families, and the couple was not allowed to marry anyone else. The betrothal was usually followed by a period of engagement before the actual wedding.
