Which type of martial union occurs between people of different social backgrounds
babymother [125]

Answer:

The marital union that occurs between people of different social origins is called Mixed Marriage.

Explanation:

There are two types of mixed marriages: by religion or by nationality. Mixed marriages by religion are those in which one of the members of the couple believes and the other does not, or that each has faith in a belief. The mixed by nationality, is in our case, when the members were not born in the same country.

In the case of a mixed marriage by nationality the bureaucracy is a little larger. The board usually asks for witnesses to answer a series of questions, which are also made to the couple, to make sure that it is not a marriage for convenience. In this case, it is advisable to take photos of trips, to prove that there is a relationship.

For the engaged couple that one has faith and the other does not, they should ask for a dispensation to celebrate the mixed marriage where it is stated in writing that the education of the children will be of Catholic faith. Therefore, one of the two must be baptized.

So, given sentence can be written as “Juan was disguised when he entered the room”. Writing “costumed in disguise” makes the sentence redundant.
