{{Main|Buddhist view of marriage}}
The Buddhist view of marriage considers marriage a secular affair and thus not a [[sacrament]]. Buddhists are expected to follow the civil laws regarding marriage laid out by their respective governments. Gautama Buddha, being a [[kshatriya]] was required by Shakyan tradition to pass a series of tests to prove himself as a warrior, before he was allowed to marry.
