Sorry to say, but the origin of marriage predates recorded history. It is highly unlikely that the basic concept of holding a ceremony to commemorate a life partnership began in any one culture. For instance, marriage existed amongst tribes native to the Americas long before Europeans reached their shores (and, naturally, also before they were named Americas). This, and other such examples, indicates that marriage developed in different ways in different cultures before those cultures were able to interact with each other, ergo eliminating the possibility of a single origin of marriage. Marriage has played a variety of roles in a variety of cultures ranging from the mundane purposes of alliances or selling daughters as currency to the more romantic purposes of raising a family or for love.
In the Roman Empire there was common practice to have slaves. And as slaves they were property. The master of the house may do anything to a slave including rape. When the master died there were many sons and daughters claiming to be the only real estate beneficiary. Therefore the Roman senate passed a law [one wife] allowing only the matriarch of the house to claim benefits from the master death. So marriage was established.
