Do Jewish couples who get married under the Huppah, have another ceremony?

That makes it legal in the country they live in. If they do what is the reason %26amp; if they don't why not?


I am going to a Jewish Marriage next week, so got thinking about this.Do Jewish couples who get married under the Huppah, have another ceremony?
It would probably depend on the laws of the country in which they live. I suspect that a marriage under a Chuppah would be legal in all US states provided all other laws are met. Here in our state as long as you have a valid marriage license almost anyone can perform the ceremony anywhere.








I believe what the first answer is referring to is the Ketubah which is a ';marriage contract'; which makes the wedding valid in Judaism, not necessarily valid as far as the government is concerned. Arkansas did recognize contract marriages as valid even without a license for anyone but I am not sure if that is still the case.Do Jewish couples who get married under the Huppah, have another ceremony?
they can if they want, but there is no need to. the reason being is that all modern law in western countries comes from the old testament which is the bible and rituals of judaism. eg. the 10 commandments.





if translated from the hebrew at weddings you would find that the words are very similar to any christian wedding.
actually the huppah ceremony is just for show also. the real marriage would of happened before, privately, with some papers being signed. I don't remember what its called. I had to sign the papers as a witness for my best friend when he got married.
