It has also been reported that clans of Ayleids not affiliated with any Daedra, some Falmer before their exile from the surface and subsequent corruption, and Kothringi practiced marriages according to the traditions of Mara worship.

Priests and priestesses may also provide the Pledge of Mara to couples for them to perform the Ritual of Mara. Marriages of this kind are officiated and overseen by priests and priestesses of Mara, often in a temple of Mara where others gather to witness the vows of marriage. Most of the races of Tamriel practice marriage according to the teachings and traditions of the Eight and Nine Divines, specifically according to Mara, the goddess of maternity and love and patron of marriages, known also as Morwha by the Yokudans.
