Marriage, Individuality, and the Universal Law of Balance in Nature

Marriage remains one of the most enduring and debated social institutions in human civilization. While its forms vary across cultures, its philosophical and ethical implications transcend time and geography. At its core, marriage is both a personal and collective construct—a union between two individuals and, simultaneously, a social mechanism designed to maintain harmony within the broader human system. Yet, questions arise: Does the concept of marriage violate individuality? Should marriage be considered an absolute concept applicable to all societies? To explore these questions, this paper applies the framework of Angelito Malicse’s Universal Formula, specifically the Universal Law of Balance in Nature. This law asserts that any system—whether mechanical, biological, or social—must remain free from defects or imbalances to function effectively. When applied to marriage, it provides a unique lens for understanding how relationships can either preserve individuality or generate disharmony.
