Abstract
The three religions called “of the book” and the same ones that come from the common trunk of Abraham and accept an unique God, are the ones that come together in this investigation that analyzes the symbology and history of one of the most important rituals within any religion: Marriage. This investigation goes back to the founding prophets of these three religions (Catholicism, Judaism, and Islam) and explore his way of life, his relationship with women, and the teachings regarding the marriage ritual. In the subsequent phase of the investigation, we made a comparison with the current marriage ceremony in which we explore the true role of women in the wedding ritual. Is the female model of 2,000 years ago still the one who still gets married in our marriage rituals today?
