Intermarriage means the bride and groom are from different demographic groups, such as religion or ethnic background. Historically, intermarriage was considered unacceptable in many places, but it is increasingly accepted today.

One common intermarriage situation is a marriage between two people of different religions or faiths, a practice that is condemned for Christians in the Bible. The Bible does not forbid interracial marriage or marrying outside of one's own culture. In the United States at present Buddists and the religiously unaffiliated are the most likely to marry outside their own faith, while Mormons and Hindus are the least likely.
