The current definition of marriage in Spanish law has abandoned the pattern of a stable union of a man and a woman aimed to raise the next generation. Several problems arise from this departure; the most important ones are figuring out which are the constitutive elements of marriage according to the laws in force, and trying to build a consistent regulation of this relationship. The article includes a general overview of the history and the current regulation of marriage, and subsequently explores the main challenges to the regulation of marriage in the near future.engAttribution-NonCommercial 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/es/Marriage in SpainFamily lawjournal articleopen access10.22364/jull.14.01
