What is definition betroth?

Betrothal, also known as engagement, is a formal pre-marriage agreement between two people where they commit to marrying each other in the future. In some cultures, betrothal was a legally binding agreement that required the consent of both families involved in the arrangement, while in others it was simply a verbal agreement between the two individuals. Betrothal typically involved the exchange of rings or other gifts as a symbol of the couple's commitment to each other. While it was common practice throughout history, betrothal is less common nowadays and may be seen as old-fashioned or unnecessary in some cultures.
