The purpose of this paper is to outline an economic approach to marriage. The first part contains an introduction to the economics of a family. The second part analyses the marriage market.

The fifth part deals with the dilemma between monogamy and polygamy on marriage markets. The sixth part confronts the economics of marriage with the findings of sociobiology.
