A "mixed "marriage" is a marriage between people from different religions or from different races or ethnic communities. The term is used when the two religions, races, or ethnic groups are thought by many to be incompatible in some way, such as marriage between a white man and a black woman in the US south in the 1950s, so that it is appropriate or necessary to specify that it is not a "usual" marriage.
