==Usage==
This template is intended for use in infoboxes; specifically {{tl|Infobox person}} and [[:Category:Templates calling Infobox person|templates calling Infobox person]].

{{tl|Marriage}} takes up to three unnamed parameters (name, start date, end date)&mdash;plus an optional named parameter {{para|end}} ({{para|reason}})&mdash;to produce output such as the following:

{{Markup
| style = font-size:small;
| title = Examples
| col1 = Template | col2 = Output

| <nowiki>{{marriage |John Smith |1 January 1895 |December 31, 1905}}</nowiki>
| {{marriage |John Smith |1 January 1895 |December 31, 1905}}

| <nowiki>{{marriage |John Doe |1885 |July 27, 1888 |end=d.}}</nowiki>
| {{marriage |John Doe |1885 |July 27, 1888 |end=d.}}

| <nowiki>{{marriage |Jane Doe |2002}}</nowiki>
| {{marriage |Jane Doe |2002}}

| <nowiki>{{marriage |John Q. Public |2002|2010}}</nowiki>
| {{marriage |John Q. Public |2002|2010}}

| <nowiki>{{marriage |John Q. Citizen |2002|2010|end=div}}
{{marriage |<!--John Q. Citizen-->|2012}}</nowiki>
| {{marriage |John Q. Citizen |2002|2010|end=div}}
{{marriage |<!--John Q. Citizen-->|2012}}

| <nowiki>{{marriage |John Q. Taxpayer |2002|end=div}}</nowiki>
| {{marriage |John Q. Taxpayer |2002|end=div}}

| <nowiki>{{marriage |Joe Blow|<!--unknown-->|2010|end=div}}</nowiki>
| {{marriage |Joe Blow|<!--unknown-->|2010|end=div}}

| <nowiki>{{marriage |Joe Bloggs|<!--unknown-->|2010}}</nowiki>
| {{marriage |Joe Bloggs|<!--unknown-->|2010}}

| <nowiki>{{marriage |Joe Sixpack|<!--unknown-->|2010|end=<!--uncertain-->}}</nowiki>
| {{marriage |Joe Sixpack|<!--unknown-->|2010|end=<!--uncertain-->}}

| <nowiki>{{marriage |Joe Schmo |end=div}}</nowiki>
| {{marriage |Joe Schmo |end=div}}

| <nowiki>{{marriage |Juan Perez |2010|reason=<!--earliest-->}}</nowiki>
| {{marriage |Juan Perez |2010|reason=<!--earliest-->}}
}}

Use of the first two parameters with {{para|end}} ({{para|reason}}) will cause a line break between the name and the start date.

===In an infobox===

* {{marriage |John Smith |1 January 1895 |December 31, 1905}}

}}
Infoboxes already reduce text size to 88%, and [[MOS:FONTSIZE]] sets a lower limit for text size at 85% of the normal page font size, so it is not appropriate to use font size reduction when this template is used in an infobox. The example here is produced by:
<syntaxhighlight style="font-size:small;" lang="html">
{{Infobox person |spouse = {{Plainlist|
* {{marriage |John Smith |1 January 1895 |December 31, 1905}}
* {{marriage |John Doe |1885 |July 27, 1888 |end=d.}}
* {{marriage |Jane Doe |2002}}
* {{marriage |John Q. Public |2002|2010}}
* {{marriage |John Q. Citizen |2002|2010|end=div}}
* {{marriage |<!--John Q. Citizen-->|2012}}
* {{marriage |John Q. Taxpayer |2002|end=div}}
* {{marriage |Joe Blow|<!--unknown-->|2010|end=div}}
* {{marriage |Joe Bloggs|<!--unknown-->|2010}}
* {{marriage |Joe Sixpack|<!--unknown-->|2010|end=<!--uncertain-->}}
* {{marriage |Joe Schmo |end=div}}
* {{marriage |Juan Perez |2010|reason=<!--earliest-->}} }}
}}

==Syntax and parameters==
<code>{{((}}marriage&thinsp;{{!}}{{thin space|<{{var|text}}>}}{{!}}{{thin space|<{{var|start date}}>}}{{!}}{{thin space|<{{var|end date}}>}}[{{!}}{{thin space|end{{=}}}}]{{))}}</code>

{{Aligned table |class=wikitable |style=line-height:1.35em;
 | col1style=vertical-align:middle;text-align:center;padding-right:1.0em; |col2style=vertical-align:middle;padding-right:0.5em;
 | row1style=background:whitesmoke;vertical-align:middle;text-align:center;font-weight:bold;
 | Parameter | Description

 | <{{var|text}}>
 | (First unnamed parameter) Some text&mdash;usually a spouse's name&mdash;preceding the parenthesis carrying the marriage date/s, etc. This parameter may be omitted, typically for a remarriage to the same spouse.

 | <{{var|start date}}>
 | (Second unnamed parameter) Year or full date when the marriage began. Only the year will be displayed. If a full date is provided, it is given via a tooltip; i.e., {{tla|Hover title}}. ([[#In an infobox|See first and second examples above.]])

 | <{{var|end date}}>
 | (Third unnamed parameter) Year or full date when the marriage ended. Only the year will be displayed. If a full date is provided, it is given via a tooltip; i.e., {{tla|Hover title}}. ([[#In an infobox|See first and second examples above.]]) If the marriage ended because of the death of the article's subject, {{insource|"Omission per Template:Marriage instructions"|do {{em|not}} provide a date}}.

 | {{para|end}} or {{para|reason}}
 | Reason for marriage's end. If the marriage ended because of the death of the article's subject, {{insource|"Omission per Template:Marriage instructions"|do {{em|not}} provide a reason}}; use of <i>{{dc|his death}}</i> or <i>{{dc|her death}}</i> for this purpose has been deprecated ([[Template talk:Marriage/Archive 5#Use "(m. 1900)" and do not fill in an end date|see discussion]]).

* {{bxtn|d}}, {{bxtn|d.}}, or {{bxtn|died}} includes {{xtn|died}} within the parentheses if the marriage ended on the spouse's death.
* {{bxtn|div}}, {{bxtn|div.}}, or {{bxtn|divorced}} includes {{abbr|{{xtn|div.}}|divorced}} or {{xtn|divorced}} within the parentheses.
* Otherwise, {{para|end|<var>value</var>}} includes customized text. For example:
: {{code|<nowiki>{{marriage |Miss Doe |January 1, 1882 |December 31, 1905 |end=annulled}}</nowiki>}} which produces:
{{block indent |style=margin-bottom:0.6em;
 | {{marriage |Miss Doe |January 1, 1882 |December 31, 1905 |end=annulled}} }}

{{qnote|Use of the values {{dcr|w}}, {{dcr|w.}}, {{dcr|wid}}, {{dcr|wid.}}, {{dcr|widow}}, or {{dcr|widowed}} is [[Template talk:Marriage/Archive 4#Who is widowed - topic or topic's spouse?|no longer supported]] and will display an error message.}}
}}

None of the parameters are required on their own, but if a template is missing all three of start date, end date, and reason, an error message will be displayed.
