Marriage is potenially a sacrament, but is always a contract. The contractual view of marriage isn't limited to Muslims... anthropologically, the marriage contract is one of the few things that universal in nearly all cultures.
I have no problem with the OP question, and do not find it trifling at all.
Like some contracts, marriage has an escape clause, the old "till death do us part" Too bad I forgot that part when I needed it.
Apparently Blackheart didn't.
